George Clooney reveals he has NEVER had an argument with wife Amal

For many the enforced lockdown that encroached the lives of billions throughput 2020 was a test of resolve, patience and white-knuckled perseverance. 

But George Clooney insists his own stifling experience in isolation was enriched and alleviated by the presence of wife Amal, the glamorous human rights attorney he married in 2014. 

Speaking to People, the Hollywood star, 59, revealed he is yet to have an argument with his wife – with whom he raises three-year old twins Alexander and Ella – despite their prolonged period of time behind closed doors.  

He said: ‘I feel very lucky in so many ways to have met her. We haven’t ever had an argument. 

‘You know, everybody’s been slammed together because of the coronavirus and a lot of friends’ relationships have been tested. For us, it’s been really easy.’ 

Always Hollywood’s most eligible – and arguably most desirable – bachelor, Clooney surprised many by proposing to Amal in April 2014, with the couple exchanging vows at Venetian palace Ca’ Farsetti just five months later. 

And he says a shared passion for equality, philanthropy and humanitarian causes – the couple work jointly on human rights organisation Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ)  – has only served to strengthen their relationship. 

‘She succeeds in so many different ways and stands up for what she believes in,’ he said of his wife. ‘We didn’t fall in love because of our work, but it ended up being something unusual we [share]… we are really lucky and we know it.’

The organisation pushes for justice through accountability for human rights abuses across the world, and Clooney hopes his children follow their lead by taking on the same causes as they grow into adulthood.   

He said: ‘I’m in the same situation as most fathers of 3-year-olds: I don’t want my children when they’re 15 years old to turn around and say, “There was a time when they were putting kids in cages?… And what did you do about that?”

‘And if the answer is “nothing,” then I would be ashamed.’

He added: ‘I hope that will be my wife’s and my legacy to our children. It just means standing up for things you believe in, standing up for equality. Who could be against equality?”
