George Clooney Refused to Marry Again after His Short-Lived Marriage: What to Know About His Ex?

This feature dives deep into the stories of both relationships. We’ll explore how George and Amal’s relationship blossomed, the public’s opinion on who is more beautiful, and the significant differences between the two women. Let’s start by uncovering the story of how George and Amal met most unexpectedly.

George and Amal Clooney: The Unexpected Meeting and a Disastrous Proposal

George met Amal most unexpectedly—through a mutual friend. It was a serendipitous encounter that neither of them saw coming. George didn’t even have to leave his house to meet the woman who would become his wife.

Amal was visiting Italy with a friend who decided to introduce her to George at his home near Lake Como. The actor humorously recounts the events leading up to their initial encounter. His agent said that he’d found the woman George would marry, a notion he initially dismissed as a joke.

“She came to the house in Como with a friend of hers to visit. But the funniest thing is Bryan Lourd, my agent, called me. He had just met Amal. He called me up and he said, ‘There’s a girl coming to your house that you’re gonna marry.’ And I was like, ‘You’re an idiot. You know that’s not gonna happen,'” he recounted.

A friend of Amal shared, “[Amal] was looking for Mr. Perfect, and he was nowhere to be found.” But when she and George met, she found what she had been looking for.

Their first meeting coincided with a visit from George’s parents. They stayed up all night talking, forming an instant connection. Amal’s gesture of sending George photos from her visit sparked an email exchange.

After weeks of writing to each other, George made a trip to London and made a plan to woo her. He invited her to Abbey Road Studios for a movie scoring session—an invitation Amal accepted despite her hectic schedule.

George’s proposal to Amal on April 28, 2014, however, did not go as smoothly. After dating for six months, he planned a romantic dinner with music from his aunt Rosemary Clooney playing in the background.

He placed the engagement ring in a box with a lighter and asked Amal to light the candles he had conveniently blown out. When she found the ring, she was confused, thinking it was left there by someone else. “It was a disaster,” he said.

“I got down on my knee, and I said, ‘I couldn’t imagine spending the rest of my life without you. And she kept looking at the ring, and she’s like, ‘Oh my god.’ And we now know, because there’s a playlist, so we know how long it took. And it’s like 25 minutes,” he narrated.

George, still in his position on the floor, finally had to ask for an answer. “Listen, I really would like to marry you, but I also am not young and I’ve been on my knee now. And I could like lose a hip, you know? And then she goes, ‘Oh, yes,'” he recalled.

Their wedding followed soon after, with a beautiful ceremony in Venice in September 2014. George often expresses how lucky he feels to have found Amal and how their relationship has brought immense joy to his life.

His current wife has been called the world’s hottest lawyer but what do fans have to say about his ex-wife? Public opinion is divided, with some praising Amal’s sophistication while others reminisce about his ex-wife’s natural beauty.
