Celebrities got married three years ago
This marriage was the first for both George Clooney and his wife Amal Alamuddin.
(54) and the sexiest female lawyer − Amal Alamuddin(37) not long ago reunited into a strong and vibrant union. Their relationship seems too perfect to be true. But nevertheless, they are real and serve as an example for many. PEOPLETALK brings to your attention the love story of George and Amal.
In this couple, everyone is beautiful and successful in their own way. Despite completely different areas of activity, they are ideal for each other.
George Clooney− owner "Oscar", one of the most talented actors in Hollywood and the admiration of thousands of women around the world.
Amal Alamuddin is a well-known British lawyer of Lebanese origin, specializing in international and criminal law, as well as human rights protection.
Clooney was born in Maysville (USA) in the family of a fashion model and a journalist.
Amal was born in a Libyan city Beirut. The father of Clooney's future wife was a professor at American University, and my mother worked as a journalist.
With the growth of his popularity, Clooney became a favorite of women and confidently secured his status as the most desirable bachelor. As befits a seducer of women’s hearts, the actor had many affairs, and George’s chosen ones, as a rule, were one more beautiful than the other.
From 1989 to 1993, Clooney was married to the actress Talia Balsam(56). Spontaneous marriage concluded in Las Vegas, lasted for five whole years. This was the only time Clooney's relationship led to marriage. After that, none of the beauties ever managed to drag him down the aisle.
A famous actress fell victim to Clooney's charms Renee Zellweger(46), whom George had been dating for several months. The actor also charmed Julia Roberts (47), Kelly Preston(52) and Cindy Crawford(49). All these connections were fleeting and unpromising.
George's next passion was an Italian model Elisabetta Canalis(36). The beauty was 18 years younger than Clooney, but this did not stop the romance from lasting two whole years. In 2011, the beautiful union fell apart. According to rumors, the reason for the breakup was Elizabeth's excessive frankness. The girl increasingly complained in interviews that the actor still did not propose to her.
Without suffering for a long time, in the fall of 2012, George met his new chosen one - an actress and former athlete Stacy Keebler(35). Clooney was seduced by the fact that she, like him, did not strive for marriage and valued freedom. But this fact did not guarantee a strong relationship. In 2013 they separated.
In Amal's life, everything was completely different. No violent passions. The girl grew up in a very strict, conservative family, and from her youth, Amal’s first priority was her career.
According to Amal’s close friends, parties and clubs did not attract her at all, but conversations about politics brought the girl into genuine delight. While Amal's peers were having fun at parties, she whiled away the hours with textbooks.
Intelligence and perseverance brought her the desired success in her legal career. In 2010, Amal got a job at a London law firm. Doughty Street Chambers. And regular readers are girls in Twitter were a Hollywood actor (37) and a former prime minister Australia Julia Gillard (53).
Alamuddin’s career was going uphill, but in her personal life everything was more than calm. The lawyer’s best friend said that the reason for this was Amal’s too high demands on her chosen ones.
Amal was included in various ratings of the most beautiful and sexy women, but the beauty herself was not at all proud of this, and the ideal chosen one still did not appear.
And so, in 2013, fate brings the incorrigible bachelor Clooney together with the overly ambitious Amal. The relationship was initially only of a business nature. The actor, like his future wife, participated in various international projects. It was at one of these that the future spouses met.
Amal Clooney is one of the few celebrities who was able to build both a dizzying career in the legal field and create a strong family with the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood.

Pregnant Amal with her mother

But this could never happen, at least a couple of years ago Clooney himself thought so. Once he even made a bet with actress Michelle Pfeiffer that he would never marry, betting $100,000 on the safety of his bachelor status. Now Clooney will have to spend a lot, first on his wedding with Amal, then on paying off his debt to his old friend. But how can you regret money when it comes to love!
Counting down the last hours until the wedding ceremony of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, HELLO.RU recalls the history of the relationship of this beautiful and harmonious couple.
The meeting between George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin happened when none of them expected it. The actor’s first and only marriage instilled in him the confidence that he was “not made for family life,” and Amal never made personal happiness a priority, increasingly devoting herself to her greatest passion - jurisprudence.
I was raised in a loving, happy family, so I have no dislike or distrust of marriage,
Clooney explained in an interview in order to stop all talk that he is a fierce opponent of official relations.
George Clooney with his parents Nina and Nick Clooney George Clooney was born to Nina Bruce, a former beauty queen, and Nick Clooney, a famous journalist and television presenter, and his aunt was Rosemary Clooney, a famous American singer and television presenter. Since childhood, the future actor was accustomed to life under the close attention of the press - fame was passed on to him along with his famous surname:
My father was a big star in our state. That's why everyone constantly talked about my sister and me. If I scored 15 points in a basketball game, they would write about me, "Nick Clooney's son scored 15 points." From an early age, George spent time on his father's film sets, often appearing on the show, where he was a crowd favorite. Even then, he had the opportunity to see and communicate with many celebrities, but his ideal of femininity and beauty, by his own admission, were Hollywood legends:
When I was a child, I was in love with Audrey Hepburn. When I was 11, I watched Roman Holiday and thought she was the most elegant woman I had ever seen. I was madly in love with her! George Clooney, 1995
George Clooney, 2007 Many girls shared the path to world fame with George, all of them were united by the fact that they were less famous and less bright than the famous actor. Little-known actress Talia Balsam (by the way, the only one who managed to walk down the aisle with Clooney), TV presenter and model Lisa Snowdon, waitress Sarah Larsen, dancer and model Elisabetta Canalis, former wrestler and model Stacy Keibler - these are just those friends Clooney knew about press, and with whom he had more or less lasting relationships.

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler Amal Alamuddin, whom George Clooney met in 2013, is very different from all his previous passions. An experienced and independent 36-year-old woman, an international human rights lawyer (among her clients are WikiLeaks creator Julian Assange, former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko). Amal did not seek fame for herself and certainly did not try to get into show business thanks to Clooney.
Amal Alamuddin Amal Alamuddin has Lebanese roots, but has lived in England since childhood. Together with her parents and four brothers and sisters, she fled the war from her native Beirut to London. The Alamuddin family settled in Buckinghamshire, where Amal went to school. According to sources, the fiery brunette’s striking beauty was passed on from her mother, Lebanese newspaper editor Baria Alamuddin, who in her youth was often compared to Elizabeth Taylor. It is known that one of the famous Lebanese poets, Said Akl, having fallen in love with the beauty of Baria, wrote poems in her honor. Amal inherited her thirst for knowledge and intelligence from her father Ramzi, a business professor at the American University in Beirut.

Amal Alamuddin Amal studied at St Hugh's College and Oxford. From a very early age, the girl was passionate about law and human rights. Unlike many of her friends who constantly went on dates, Amal always preferred studying to entertainment.
One day, my friends and I went to the Notting Hill premiere at night, and she decided to stay home to study. Amal Alamuddin at the London summit While attending New York University, she worked as a law clerk for Sonia Sotomayor, a U.S. Court of Appeals judge for the Second Circuit who now serves on the Supreme Court. The hard work paid off after graduation and she joined the litigation team at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York, where she practiced US and international law for three years.
Alamuddin is now an experienced barrister specializing in international law, criminal law and human rights at the London firm of Doughty Street Chambers. In 2011, Amal became a representative of Julian Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks website, in his fight against extradition to Sweden. She has also attended many UN commissions and is an adviser to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in Syria. It was this activity that led one day to meeting her future husband, George Clooney.
Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney first met in the fall of 2013 at one of the charity events that the actor regularly attended.
Amal was one of the newcomers to the event. A tall brunette with plump lips... - said an eyewitness to this significant event.
Apparently, the relationship between the lawyer and the actor began very quickly. Already in February, George invited Amal to a private screening of the film “Treasure Hunters” (Monuments Men), which took place at the White House. George's parents, Nick and Nina, were also present there. Apparently, at the same time, George met the bride’s mother, who, as fans of the stars quickly noticed, liked the news of their romance on Facebook.
Date of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin Despite the rapidly developing relationship, the news of the couple's engagement, announced at the end of April 2014, came as a complete surprise to the public.
According to sources, one April evening, Clooney whipped up a romantic dinner at his mansion in Studio City (California) and invited his beloved there. The actor surprised Amal by kneeling in front of her. And she, in turn, made George incredibly happy with her agreement.
The actor’s 74-year-old mother, Nina Clooney, was one of the first to tell the press about the upcoming wedding of George and Amal:
I am extremely happy, Amal is a wonderful girl. I really like her. We were not at all surprised when they told us about their engagement, and we were incredibly happy for them. They are not inferior to each other in intelligence, and this is very important for George. Amal's habits are different from those prevailing in Hollywood. When asked if Nina would like another bride for her son George, the former beauty queen replied:
Oh God no! Amal is a lawyer, she is a brilliant, smart and successful woman. That being said, she loves to have fun, has a great sense of humor, and they are both very caring people. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin at dinner with friends - actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski Another source close to the couple’s social circle said that Amal suits George in all respects:
He likes women with brains and status. She represents it all. He is happy that he has found his ideal match. Amal's friend, businessman Jean Pigozzi, also explained why, in his opinion, Alamuddin is a great match for Clooney:
She is a very smart girl. There's never a dull moment with her. She knows a lot of interesting things and tells incredible stories. Banal stories like “My apartment was flooded” are not about her. George Clowney and Amal Alamuddin in Florence It took the couple 5 months to prepare for the wedding. During this time, several possible places changed (at first there were persistent rumors about the ceremony on Lake Como), and many versions were put forward about who would sew “that” dress for the Hollywood actor’s beloved. The main version is that Amal will walk down the aisle in an Alexander McQueen outfit. In any case, we will find out the answers to all questions very soon!
This harmony was destroyed by a British woman with Libyan roots, Amal Alamuddin. The 36-year-old beauty, a world-class legal professional, initially did not accept the advances of the actor, known for his superficial relationships with women. Amal Alamuddin embodies the true ideal of an independent business woman. She graduated from Oxford, advised members of the UN and even defended Yulia Tymoshenko and WikiLeaks creator Julian Assange in court.
George and Amal were introduced by mutual friends in Italy at a charity fair in September 2013. After 3 days, Clooney realized that he wanted to ask her out. After several refusals, the oriental beauty agreed to a date with Clooney, and already in February 2014, the couple appeared holding hands at the film premiere at the White House.

March was marked by the actor's trip to Africa with his girlfriend, where they ate fruit, sunbathed and watched wild lions play.
And at the end of April, in a simple home environment, George Clooney asked Amal for her hand in marriage, handing over a ring worth $800,000 with a 7-carat diamond. She accepted the offer. George was truly happy: he called his friends, told his neighbors and even waiters in restaurants about this news.
Journalists did not miss the opportunity to play on the hype around such an interesting love story and started a rumor that the wedding could not take place due to the religious views of the groom (Clooney was baptized in the Catholic Church, but positions himself as an agnostic). But the rumors turned out to be just rumors: on September 27, a wedding ceremony took place in Venice.
There were many celebrity guests at the wedding: Cindy Crawford (after a fleeting affection, she and Clooney remained friends) with her husband Randy Gerber, who carefully played the role of best man, actors Bill Murray and Matt Damon arrived, and the event was also attended by Clooney’s close friend, the merry fellow and prankster Bono from rock band U2.
The future spouses and their guests traveled to the wedding along the Venetian canals on a motor boat:
The ceremony took place in an elegant 15th-century European villa.
All of Clooney's friends and family are very happy for this union. George's parents are sincerely happy that their son's chosen one is not connected with the world of glamor and show business. Friends say that Amal embodies the ideal of George Clooney. The actor himself rationalistically identified 4 points that explain why his choice fell on this woman: sensitivity, care, non-trivial intelligence and a sense of humor.
For George, it is a delight to watch his wife’s performances in court, her polemics with politicians and other powerful people. George Clooney jokes that in his relationship with Amal Alamuddin, it is he who plays the role of a “candy girl” who should simply please the eyes of people at important meetings and not interfere when Amal is talking with important and influential people. The great actor is also amazed that his wife understands the world of fashion. Here's what he thinks about it:
“She always looks amazing and has a sense and understanding of style. Although she does not use the services of stylists. But she looks like the best stylists in the world worked on her. While managing to work on 11 trials in court. Amal is an amazing woman."

After a year of official marriage, the celebrity couple has not made any statements about Amal's pregnancy or their plans for it. But there is a fact that clearly indicates the couple’s desire to have a baby. The Clooneys began building a mansion in England with an expansive and luxurious nursery that includes a bedroom, spa, children's library, playrooms and bedroom for four nannies. According to preliminary data, the children's corner will cost the family $2 million.
In winter, the Clooneys went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to relax after celebrating the New Year. They kicked off 2015 with their good pals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
In a 2015 interview, George Clooney again lavished praise on his wife Amal:
“There is not a single doubt that my wife is smarter than me, and I admire this fact! It’s great to be surrounded by people who are smarter than you.” “If there is an intellectual battle between us, I will undoubtedly lose!” the actor added. “Amal is up there. She's brilliant."
Amal's abilities helped the couple spend time together, despite the highly professional careers of each of them.
“When I told her I was getting ready to go to New York this spring to film a movie with Jodie Foster, she just said, 'Okay, I'll come with you and lecture as a professor at Columbia University.' And this is what she has been devoting to lately. Without a doubt she is the smartest of our couple."
On June 3, 2015, the couple was spotted at Clooney's annual family reunion in Augusta, Kentucky, where they even went to the actor's favorite local bakery, Magee's, for some candy.
"They are a funny couple!" - co-owner Russell Dixon said about them. “The Clooney family have been our clients for a long time. I grew up watching them all the time. George still visits us once a year,” added the bakery owner.
The couple took photographs for memory. Amal Clooney has not changed her habits of dressing up in branded clothing and arrived in the southern United States with an extensive designer wardrobe. For example, in the photo in Magee's with the bakery owners, she is depicted wearing a suede outfit by Albert Ferretti for €1970.
In August, Clooney and his wife attended the Casamigos Tequila party at the Ushuaia Beach Hotel in Ibiza, Spain, where they snuggled adorably.
“George and Amal were very affectionate throughout the trip,” the Observer said. “They danced and had a blast with friends, being close the whole time.”
After celebrating his two-year wedding anniversary in September 2016, Clooney joked to Entertainment Tonight:
Birth of children
Before Amal's first pregnancy was confirmed in February 2017, Clooney constantly said that he couldn't imagine himself being a father.
"I don't really think about it," he said in May 2015 during an interview on CBS Morning. “I have been thinking about this question and I imagine this possibility. But this does not apply to the primary goals.”
On January 9, 2017, Amal looked stunning at the Clooney Justice Foundation's White Helmets show in London, England. At this event, it became obvious that the couple were expecting a new baby, which was expected in June 2017.
The twins were born in early June 2017 at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Alexander was born first at 12:54 p.m., followed by Ella at 12:56 p.m., according to birth certificates shown to People magazine. A source close to the couple's family told the magazine:
“This is very good news. We are very, very happy. George will be a great father to twins." Amal's boss, Geoffrey Robertson QC of Doughty Street Chambers, also told People magazine that he was delighted for the couple: "All I can say is it's a wonderful collaboration."
Sources confirmed in February that everyone in their family is happy. At the end of February, on the occasion of the birth of twins, twice the sexiest man alive and first time father, George Clooney, opened up during an interview with Laurent Weil for the French program Rencontres de Cinéma and said with a smile:
At first, the couple and their children lived in their English home, where the children were provided with 24-hour bodyguard protection. And not so long ago, the Clooney couple moved to their own mansion near Lake Como in Italy. They will presumably remain there until the end of the summer season.
Recently, photographers caught the Clooneys descending from the ramp of their own plane, which arrived in Milan. George was holding a portable crib with the twins sleeping in it, but the paparazzi were unable to capture the babies in the photo.
