Longtime bachelor George Clooney finally met his match in the stunning, accomplished human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Still, it took Amal a little bit to accept that their romance was the real deal.
“We never talked about marriage when we were dating, and I asked her out of the blue,” George told CBS in November 2020. “[It] took her a long time to say yes. I was on my knee for, like, 20 minutes. I finally said, ‘Look, I’m gonna throw my hip out.’ We told that story to her parents, and they’re like, ‘There’s something wrong with his hip?’”
The pair first met while in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013. Later that year, they had their first date in London. The two got married in a fantasy wedding at the Aman Canal Grande Hotel in Venice, Italy, in September 2014.
While the couple didn’t initially plan to start a family, Us Weekly confirmed in February 2017 that they were expecting. The pair welcomed their twins, Alexander and Ella, in June 2017.
