INFAMOUS BACHELOR George Clooney is Engaged to Renowned Lawyer Amal Alamuddin

George Clooney has finally managed to shock the world when he

proposed to his British lawyer Girlfriend Amal Alamuddin after

decades of bachelorhood. But according to a source close to the

Oceans 13 star’s engagement doesn’t shock those who know the

couple.

“It’s actually not that surprising. He likes a woman with brains and

class,” the source says. “She’s the full package. His first wife Talia

came from a good family and was very smart herself. He’s happy and

found his ideal match. He didn’t settle, so good for him.”

Clooney was first married to actress Talia Balsam in 1989 before

divorcing in 1993. (Balsam is now married to John Slattery, her

onscreen ex-husband on Mad Men.) After the divorce, he went on to

become a globally sought after ladies man, dating British model Lisa

Snowdon, Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis, and model Stacy Keibler.

Over the years the Oscar winner has been questioned about his

thoughts on marriage and commitment, and his answers have always

aired in support of a marriage-free life.

“I haven’t had aspirations in that way, ever,” he told Esquire of

marriage in December 2013. “I was married in 1989. I wasn’t very

good at it.”

Though he wasn’t ready to walk down the aisle at the time, Clooney

didn’t always seem opposed to the concept of marriage.

“I don’t talk about it because I don’t think about it,” he told Esquire

in January 2012. “I don’t ever question other peoples’ versions of how

they live their lives or what they do.
