Longtime bachelor George Clooney finally found his match in the remarkable human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Amal needed some time to realize their romance was the real deal."We never talked about marriage when we were dating, and I asked her out of the blue," George shared during an interview with 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 couple first crossed paths in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013. Later that year, they enjoyed their first date in London, leading to a fairy-tale wedding at the Aman Canal Grande Hotel in Venice, Italy, in September 2014.

Initially, the pair didn't plan to start a family, but Us Weekly confirmed in February 2017 that they were expecting. George and Amal welcomed their twins, Alexander and Ella, in June 2017.

"It's the wildest thing. A mutual friend of ours said, 'I'm stopping by and can I bring my friend?' And I was like, 'Of course.' I got a call from my agent who called me and said, 'I met this woman who's coming to your house who you're gonna marry,'" George said. "The funniest thing was my mom and dad were visiting, so my parents were there, and we just talked and we stayed up all night talking and then."He also told The Hollywood Reporter he thought Amal was beautiful, funny and "obviously smart" when he saw her for the first time.

He reminisced, "I had a playlist with my Rosemary [Clooney] songs on it, and I was waiting for this song, 'Why Shouldn't I?' ... And it played, and she's like, 'Holy s---!' And she just kept staring at the ring, going, 'Oh, my God.' It was 20 minutes of me on my knee, waiting for her to say yes, because she was so shocked. She only said yes when 'Goody, Goody' came on, which isn't very romantic - it's kind of mean: 'So you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody, goody.'"Amal showed off her seven-carat, emerald-cut diamond engagement ring when she and George attended the Celebrity Fight Night charity event in September 2014.
