In addition to Elliott, Stephanopoulos and Wentworth are also the parents of a second daughter, Harper, who is a student at Vanderbilt University.
When Harper began her freshman year at Vanderbilt in 2023, Stephanopoulos and Wentworth reflected on becoming empty-nesters for the first time.

\"We dropped our baby off at college. Everyone is saying 'she’s ready to launch' ! But… I don’t think I’m ready! I don’t want to stop making pasta with vodka sauce, picking up wet towels, cuddling up to her familiar scent. As Joni Mitchell once wrote- 'the bed’s too big, the frying pan too wide,'\" Wentworth wrote on Instagram at the time. \"I know our daughter will thrive. But man, it’s brutal on the parents. If you feel inclined- please send me baked goods. I’ll be under my covers.\"
Stephanopoulos said too that Harper's start in college meant not only a major change for her, but one for her parents too.
\"Ali and I met and got married within nine months, and had a baby nine months later, so we’ve never known a house without kids really,\" he said at the time, adding that he and Wentworth were \"a little nervous, but excited too\" about the prospect of becoming empty-nesters.
