George Clooney, the charming Hollywood star, was once married to actress Talia Balsam. They met in 1984 during a play and married after reuniting years later. However, the marriage lasted only three years. George admitted, “I probably—definitely—wasn’t someone who should have been married at that point.”
George met Amal Clooney unexpectedly through a mutual friend at his home in Italy. His agent humorously predicted their marriage: “There’s a girl coming to your house that you’re gonna marry.” George initially dismissed it, but Amal’s visit led to an instant connection. Their relationship blossomed through emails, and George eventually wooed her in London.
George’s proposal to Amal was far from smooth. He planned a romantic evening but faced confusion when Amal didn’t recognize the engagement ring. “It was a disaster,” George said. After a 25-minute pause, she finally said yes, leading to a beautiful wedding in Venice in September 2014.
