A few years ago, George Clooney was known as "the most enviable bachelor in Hollywood." It seemed that nothing in the world would make him say goodbye to freedom. However, the meeting of the 52-year-old actor with the 36-year-old advocate and human rights activist Amal Alamuddin forced an inveterate bachelor to reconsider his views.
George fell in love like a little boy and stood for half an hour on one knee, asking the beloved to be his wife. And now a happy couple is waiting for the addition to the family: in the summer Amal should give birth to twins.
How did it all start?
Is he…
George Clooney behind has a bad experience of family life. In 1989, he knitted himself in marriage with actress Talia Bolss. Their marriage was so terrible that it left a negative imprint on the future fate of George. Talia, who has a very difficult character, was tightly controlled by her husband and constantly scandalized, and he, tired of such a life, just fled, deciding never to marry again.

In the future, he had many fleeting novels, to which he did not attach much importance:
"Perhaps I worked much more on my relationships with friends than with women"
In the arms of Hollywood handsome Julia Roberts, Renee Zellweger, Cindy Crawford visited, but none of these women could become for Cluny the love of his life.

Their romance lasted 2 years, but eventually broke up, because Elizabetha was tired of waiting for her lover to offer her.
The next elect of Clooney was the former wrestling champion Stacey Kibler. It seemed that Cluny found a like-minded person: Stacy was also not going to get married and did not want children.

However, these relations soon ended. Clooney put an end to his personal life. In 2013, he sharply responded to a question from a journalist:
"I've already said a hundred thousand times that I will never marry again and I do not want to have children!"
Everything changed when he met Amal Alamuddin ...

When the girl was 2 years old, her family moved to London. Here Amal received a brilliant legal education. The girl studied very hard, preferring the study of textbooks to gay student's parties. Her efforts were rewarded: she became one of the most prominent lawyers of our time.
Amal specializes in international law, she represented in the international courts the interests of many eminent persons, including Julian Assange and Yulia Tymoshenko!
Amal is called one of the most beautiful and smartest women of our time, she constantly leads the ratings of the sexiest advocates. At the same time, before the age of 36, the beautiful woman was unlucky in love: she was too busy with her career and did not think about her personal life. In addition, Amal put forward very high demands on her future companion. One of her friends told:
"She needed an ideal. She was sure that she would not meet a worthy partner for the rest of her life "
Everything changed when George Clooney appeared in Amal's life ...
They…
They met at a charity event in Italy, a country that was simply created for love dates and beautiful novels. However, in the first meetings of Clooney and Amal there was nothing romantic. Amal was involved in a program of satellite launches to track terrorists in Libya. Clooney was interested in this project, and they began to communicate. All their contacts were exclusively businesslike. However, later the most enviable bachelor Hollywood admitted that he fell in love at first sight:
"I fell in love with her right away. How can you resist? In addition to being extraordinarily beautiful, she is, in addition, very intelligent and human "
He invited her to the restaurant, but Amal was too busy with work and did not accept the invitation. Hollywood ladies' man was discouraged, at 52 he did not know what "no" was. He got used to the fact that the girls are throwing everything and rushing headlong to see him ... Kluni made another attempt and again offered Amal to meet in an informal atmosphere. And again refusal ... Politely but firmly a woman made it clear that their relationship should not go beyond the scope of business. Without wanting to, she threw Clooney to the challenge, which the wounded actor immediately took ...
Three months after the first meeting George invited Amal to the premiere of the film "Hunters for Treasures", where she came with her mother ... Then George introduced the chosen one to his parents who came from Amal delighted.
Beauty gradually began to thaw and accept the signs of attention of George, and most importantly - she began to smile more and look happy. Her friend said:
"Now the smile does not come off Amal's face. And she quit smoking! Is not this a real fairy tale? "
In April 2014, Clooney, who swore a year ago that he would never marry, decided to take a desperate step. He invited his beloved to dinner in his Californian mansion, crashed in front of her on one knee and made an offer of a hand and a heart. However, Amal did not accept it, exclaiming:
"You are crazy! We're just having a good time! "
For half an hour, not getting up from his knees, George persuaded her to become his wife. In the end, he exclaimed:
"I need an answer! I am already 52 years old, and if I stay a little longer on one knee, I will lose my hips! "
And then she answered:
"Oh yeah!"
To mark the betrothal, lovers went to a restaurant. Usually discreet and secretive, Clooney was so happy and excited that he told about the joyful event to the waiter.
Preparations for the wedding lasted 5 months. Marriage took place on September 27, 2014 in Venice. The bride was dressed in a gorgeous white dress from French lace from Oscar de la Renta, the bridegroom dressed in a traditional black suit with a butterfly.
The happiness of Clooney was not overshadowed even by the fact that he lost to his girlfriend Michelle Pfeiffer 100 000 dollars. He made a bet with her that he would never marry!
Later, in England, another marriage ceremony took place, which was arranged specifically for relatives. At the celebration came the numerous relatives of Amal from Libya, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Now the couple are waiting for a miracle: in June they should have twins, the sex of which is still unknown. Most of the time the star couple is in the US, England and Italy, where they have homes.
Earlier in connection with his activities, George and Amal often traveled to countries where it could be dangerous, but now Clooney said:
"We decided to behave more responsibly to avoid dangerous situations. I will not go to South Sudan and Congo anymore, and Amal will not go to Iraq ... I did not care about that before. I would even say that these trips were very exciting, we were where there were not even reporters "
