George Clooney & Amal Clooney

When it comes to celebrity power couples, George and Amal Clooney are definitely at the top of the list. George was once renowned as one of America’s most notorious bachelors, but that was not so long ago. He finally met his match in 2013, falling head over heels for a Lebanese-British barrister who would give him a new charter on life.

The love story of George and Amal began in an unexpected location: the actor’s living room. Amal arrived at his Lake Como home with a mutual friend. She not only won him over, but she also received the blessing of two important persons in his life: his parents. After parting ways, the two kept in touch via email, but it would be three months before they met again—this time on purpose. He took the international human rights lawyer to Abbey Road Studios in London for their first formal date, where he was working on the soundtrack for his latest film, The Monuments Men. And the rest, as they say, is history.
