In the summer of 2013, George Clooney organized a dinner at his house on Lake Como, Italy. Among the guests was a friend of his agent, Amal Ramzi Alam Uddin. That night changed his life forever. Amal, a lawyer and activist, became his wife and the mother of his twins, Ella and Alexander, who are about to turn 8 years old.
Clooney told The Hollywood Reporter that that night was special. "I didn't even leave the house and my parents were visiting and they met her too, so we spent the whole night talking," he recalled. Since then, their relationship has been strong and stable, without a single serious confrontation.
In a recent interview for CBS Mornings, George reaffirmed that he hasn't argued with Amal in more than ten years. "Communication with her is the easiest part of our relationship," he explained with a smile.
George Clooney speaks clearly
"We're looking for something to argue about, but we can't find it. I feel incredibly lucky, like I've won the lottery. Not a day goes by without me feeling like the happiest man in the world."
Amal also spoke about their relationship in that joint interview in 2022. She joked about how some friends are surprised by their harmony. "I have a cousin who always asks me if we've argued yet, even before saying hello," she said with humor. The lawyer attributes their happiness to luck.
"It's 99% a matter of luck finding the right person. You shouldn't be cynical, just open. I was surprised that George wasn't cynical or defensive. Everything happened very quickly," she explained.
The couple appeared united and in sync at their latest public appearance, at the 2024 Albie Awards of the Clooney Foundation for Justice in New York. There they made it clear that, after more than a decade together, they keep the same connection and affection as at the beginning.
George also shared details about their children. "They're at a fantastic age. They're curious, funny, and make us laugh a lot," he commented proudly. The twins are a constant source of joy for both.
In a world where famous relationships are often marked by conflicts and breakups, George and Amal Clooney stand out for their stability and mutual respect. They have managed to avoid fights and focus on building a happy family.
Rather than looking for reasons to argue, they prefer to enjoy each day together. Their story shows that, although love isn't always easy, with communication and luck, a relationship can last and flourish without major conflicts.
