Clooney and Amal wed in September 2014 and have been one of the strongest celeb powerhouse couples since.
Clooney proposed after only months of dating, but that was all he needed to recognize Amal was the one. In June 2017, the couple welcomed twins named Ella and Alexander.
Prior to the birth of their children, Clooney said, "It’s going to be an adventure … We’ve sort of embraced it all … with arms wide open."

In late 2018, former athlete and now music producer Philip Payne came into her life. And it's been a love story, apparently. Recently, they revealed their positive pregnancy test on social media:
