George Clooney’s mum has confirmed her son’s engagement, and she couldn’t be happier about it.
George, 52, is 100 per cent engaged to his girlfriend, Amal Alamuddin, 36, and his mother is all smiles about her future daughter-in-law.
Nina Clooney, who has met Amal plenty of times, has told MailOnline that the human rights lawyer “is a lovely girl” who has the ideal combination of “brains and beauty.”
“You can say I’m extremely happy…I like her very much,” Nina said.
“We weren’t at all surprised when they told us they were engaged, and we couldn’t be happier for them.”
“On an intellectual level, they are equals. That is very important to him. Amal’s world couldn’t be more different to the Hollywood lifestyle….They also share a sense of fun, a sense of humour and they are both very caring people.”
When asked if Amal was similar to George’s previous women, Nina responded:
“Heavens, no! She’s a lawyer, she is brilliant, she is a very bright woman and at the very top of her career. “
George proposed to the British barrister, who has previously represetned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, after the celebrity couple holidayed together in exotic locations like Tanzania and the Seychelles as part of their pre-engagement 7-month romance.
Amal’s law firm have also released a statement congratulating the happy couple, saying:
“The barristers and staff of Doughty Street Chambers offer their best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin, a member of Chambers, and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married.”
Congratulations to George and Amal. Let’s hope it’s not too long till their wedding…
