Since their children’s birth, George and Amal Clooney have shielded them from the spotlight and “never post pictures” of them.
Once, after pictures of their kids were released by a media outlet, George vowed to sue them.
In interviews, the devoted father and his wife frequently discuss his children, who have previously been spotted in public.
George and Amal Clooney, a prominent Hollywood couple, have private lives, particularly when it comes to their two kids. The legendary actor cherishes his family so much that he once took a leave of absence from the spotlight to spend the most of his time with his stunning wife.
Grant Heslov, George’s longtime friend and producing partner who has known him since the 1980s, said in a November 2020 interview how the A-list star’s life has evolved since meeting Amal. Then, Grant remarked, “I literally have never seen him happier.”
George allegedly talks about Amal a lot when he isn’t asked about her because he is so infatuated with her. George shared his thoughts about being single before meeting Amal in the same conversation with Grant. He revealed, “I was thinking, ‘I’m not getting married.'” “I will not have children.”
Before meeting his wife, the actor claimed to have been happy with his life as an eligible bachelor. He opted to concentrate on his career as it was sufficient for him and he was succeeding at it.
George had persuaded himself that having wonderful friends and a rewarding career meant that his life was fulfilled. He later acknowledged that his view of life was incorrect, adding, “Before I met Amal, I had no idea how empty life was.” Then everything was different. And I realized, “Well, this has been a really big empty space.”
George acknowledged that marriage had altered his life and that he had never before been in a situation where his own life was more important than anybody else’s. Their children’s arrival also had a big effect on him.
The actor from “Ocean’s Twelve” has said in the past that being a father altered his outlook on life. He enjoys the fact that he is no longer just thinking about himself and has developed selflessness. It’s an amazing thing. We feel extremely fortunate, the Oscar winner remarked.
Amal and George became first-time parents on June 6, 2017, at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, when they welcomed their twins, Alexander and Ella Cloney. Ella, their daughter, was born just two minutes after Alexander, her brother.
George and Amal have kept Alexander and Ella out of the spotlight and have never shared their pictures with the public since the day they were born.
The Clooneys shield their children from the spotlight; although, they did make an infrequent public appearance once.
The father of the family is quite protective of his children; in fact, a few years ago, he threatened to sue a French magazine for publishing images of his kids.
“Over the last week, photographers from Voici magazine scaled our fence, climbed our tree, and illegally took pictures of our infants inside our home,” George said in a statement made in July 2017.
He continued by saying that since he and Amal don’t use social media, they have never sold a picture of their kids. They “never post pictures” of themselves since it would endanger their life.
George said he could take “intrusive” photos of himself since he was a famous person, but his kids didn’t agree to this.
The twins were briefly seen with their mother when they were a year old, despite his best efforts to keep them out of the spotlight.
Amal Clooney made a rare public appearance in December 2018, walking out of The Four Seasons hotel in Midtown Manhattan holding Ella and Alexander. They carried matching teddy bears and wore denim pants and Adidas sneakers.
An informant claimed that year that Alexander and Ella were exact replicas of their well-known parents. The insider continued, “They’re just too adorable, too beautiful.” In 2017, George also expressed gratitude to God for his children’s mother-like eyes in a few remarks he made about them.
George and Amal Clooney adore their kids even though they keep them hidden from prying eyes.
Alexander, George’s son, entered the room where his father was being interviewed candidly in 2020. The proud father apparently became so happy to see his child that he forgot the interviewer was there.
The child’s distinctive teeth and dark hair were mentioned at the time. His father placed him on his lap and engaged in conversation with him, ignoring the interviewer.
The actor from “Ocean’s Eleven” previously disclosed that his son typically wakes up in the morning and knocks on his bedroom door. Alexander would say, “It’s me, Alexander Clooney,” in response to the celebrity’s question.
After that, Alexander would rush inside when George opened the door. The Golden Globe winner predicted that when this would occur, he would start giggling uncontrollably.
In December 2020, George shared even more about parenthood when he disclosed that he is teaching his kids how to do practical jokes. He also talked about reading Dr. Seuss and Peppa Pig and other such books to Alexander and Ella.
The loving parent previously admitted that he would cut his kids’ hair when they were under quarantine because to the COVID-19 outbreak. He and his children’s mother discussed their offspring in greater detail on their September 2022 appearance on “CBS Mornings.”
George revealed that the couple taught French and Italian to their daughter and son. Amal also revealed that Alexander likes to play practical jokes on his father, calling him a “big prankster.”
The BAFTA Award winner also excitedly revealed that his son is a fan of Batman and that the boy said, “Yeah, but not anymore,” when he informed him he had once played the part.
In contrast to her brother, Ella, his little daughter, is reportedly reserved. George emphasized how fascinating it is that, despite being identical twins, his children have distinct personalities. Compared to his sister, Alexander is significantly taller.
George Clooney revealed in a May 2019 interview that his two-year-old children knew how to count in both Italian and English from one to twenty. He claimed that they emulate their mother.
It is also said that the children enjoy painting, and that their parents, particularly in the summer, always plan exciting outings for them. According to an informant, the four-member family “spent the summer in Europe” in 2022.
According to a source who surfaced in September 2023, Ella and Alexander were loving spending the summer with their parents. The insider revealed, “They have playdates with a small group of friends in the area their age, take boat rides, and visit water spots.”
This year (2024), George mentioned Alexander and Ella in an interview with GQ, albeit he did not go into as much depth as he has in the past. Brad Pitt, another legendary actor and close friend, joined him, and the two talked about their friendship, jobs, and lives.
The “ER” star talked on how some celebrities who are as well-known as him are able to lead somewhat of a normal existence during the August 2024 debate.
Many people—even those who achieve a good degree of celebrity—find a way to lead somewhat of a normal life, go around New York’s streets unobserved, and do other things of that nature. And for like, five or six of us, it’s just never gone away,” George revealed.
George spoke to his 7-year-old twins after making it clear that the reason he and a few others have avoided media attention is because something similar hasn’t happened yet.
The actor said, “So I have a goal of trying to protect, I don’t want pictures of my kids,” reiterating his prior declaration of privacy.
George continued, reiterating his earlier claim, saying, “[We] don’t want to have photos of our kids out there.” We therefore have to make a concerted effort to maintain our privacy, which is difficult as you might understand.
