The Clooneys, George and Amal, were the center of attention at the premiere of "Wolfs" in Venice. A typical black suit and bow tie were worn by the actor, who also appears in the film alongside Brad Pitt. He looked really dashing in this ensemble. His wife, who had been with him for almost a decade, glistened in a pale yellow gown tailor-made by Atelier Versace.
Not only have the Oscar-winning actor and Amal, who is an attorney and the mother of their twins Ella and Alexander, who are seven years old, never been happy, but they have also never been busier. Their ten-year anniversary is drawing up.
“George feels at peace with his life now. He always feared that settling down and having children would change his life, but he met Amal at the right time. He was ready," an unnamed source told Closer Weekly.
Both of them are quite dedicated to their work, so it has not been an easy task for them. For the sake of her job as a human rights attorney, Amal is frequently required to go to either London or the Netherlands, which is the location of the International Criminal Court.
George, on the other hand, continues to be hungry for various new acting challenges. In the spring of the next year, he will make his debut on Broadway in the play "Good Night and Good Luck," which he also co-wrote.
“George and Amal are both so busy, but they make time for special moments together,” the anonymous insider said, who also explained that they decided on an early celebration of their anniversary which is on September 27. “They both appreciate romantic date nights.”
Since Ella and Alexander are now of school age, the pair, who are supported by a nanny and some live-in staff, makes an effort to limit the number of times they travel around the world.
The family has been spending more time together at Domaine du Canadel, which is their estate located in the countryside of France, as of late. It is highly possible that they will relocate as a family to New York in the spring of the next year in order to support George's desire to perform on Broadway.
“Managing their schedules and time apart has been challenging, and at times they have been apart more than they liked. The bottom line is that they support each other’s careers. They are happy with the life they have built together," the undisclosed informant shared.
Their deep bond was something that George and Amal themselves were the ones who were most startled by, as per PEOPLE Magazine. During the summer of 2013, they were both looking for a soulmate, but they were introduced to each other by a buddy they shared in common.
“I met George when I was 35 and starting to become quite resigned to the idea that I was going to be a spinster. Then we met and started hiding out in my London flat, and very soon it felt like, no matter what happened, I would never want to be with anyone else," Amal admitted.
The feeling was mutual for George, who was astonished by Amal, an attorney who was born in Beirut and raised in Britain.
“I met this amazing woman, and she took my breath away. She was brilliant and funny and beautiful and kind. I was sort of swept off my feet," George said.
Finding a way to maintain their relationship while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood, celebrity, and their respective interests for their very different types of work has been difficult, but it has been well worth the effort.
“I didn’t know how un-full [my life] was until I met Amal. And then everything changed. And I was like, ‘Oh, actually, this has been a huge empty space,’” George furthered.
