Despite facing harsh criticism from fans, George Clooney remains enamored with his wife, Amal Clooney, describing her as a captivating and transformative force in his life.
In a heartfelt interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2022, Clooney expressed his admiration for Amal, stating, “Everything about my wife is sort of magical, as I think everybody has come to realize as they see her and hear her and hear what she stands for. There’s just not a downside to her.”
George Clooney, renowned for his versatile acting career spanning television and film, rose to prominence with notable roles such as a young handyman in the long-running sitcom “The Facts of Life” and leading performances in blockbuster films like “Ocean’s Eleven” and “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”.
Meeting Amal Alamuddin in 2013 marked a significant turning point in Clooney’s life, leading to their whirlwind romance and eventual marriage.
Recalling the moment he proposed in 2014, Clooney humorously remarked, “Literally, I dropped it on her, and she just kept saying, ‘Oh, my God,’ and ‘Wow!’ We just sat there, and finally I said, ‘Listen, I’m 52, and I’ve been on my knee now for about 28 minutes, so I have to get an answer out of this or I’m going to throw a hip out. I might not be able to stand back up!’”
Their lavish wedding ceremony at the Aman Canal Grande hotel in Venice, Italy, in September 2014 drew attention from around the world, with notable guests including Bono, Matt Damon, and Bill Murray.
However, the public scrutiny intensified following their union, particularly targeting Amal’s appearance and fashion choices rather than her significant professional achievements as an internationally acclaimed human rights lawyer.
Despite facing unjust criticism, Amal has continued to advocate for important causes and represent high-profile clients, earning recognition from Time magazine as one of the Women of the Year in 2022.

Amidst the challenges, George Clooney remains a devoted and supportive partner, praising Amal for her intelligence, accomplishments, and impeccable sense of style.
The couple, now parents to twins Alexander and Ella, continue to cherish their time together at their lakeside Villa Oleandra in Lake Como, reflecting Clooney’s sentiment that he feels fortunate every day to have found his perfect partner in Amal.
