What is so special about the woman who made George Clooney give up his bachelor life?
We remember when George swore he would never get married again.
It was back in 1993, when he went through a nasty divorce from actress Talia Balsam.
What is more, George stated that he would never have kids, saying that he didn't "have
that gene that people have to replicate."
And who do we see now? A husband and a father of two children!
How did it happen?

Many of the hot women he dated were dreaming to drag him down the aisle. Traylor Howard,
Celine Balitran, Krista Allen and many, many others.
But his now-wife Amal Alamuddin did not even think of getting married to George.
But George surprised her - and the whole world. Because Amal is the special one.
Unlike other women George had been with, Amal is very self-sufficient. She is not only elegant,
beautiful and smart, but she is a true leader.
When George received his Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes, Tina Fey made
fun of him, since Amal probably deserved the award way more than Clooney.
And it's all true! Amal is very devoted to her work and is an inspiration to many.
But it was not always the case. Amal endured an incredible journey from being a refugee
girl born in Beirut to becoming the infamous Assange's lawyer.
Amal was just two years old when her family fled Beirut to escape civil war and to settle
in Buckinghamshire.
The girl studied very hard, attending different intense schools to become who she is today.
Clooney confessed to Esquire, saying "Oftentimes, I feel like an idiot talking to my own wife."
Amal and Clooney met in Italy when she was 36 and he was 53.
And HE was the one falling head-over-heels.
Amal was flattered by George's attention but she did not expect that much paparazzi pressure on them.
As she later said, they had to hide in her London flat to ensure privacy.
But it seems that the invasion of privacy and the paparazzi made the relationship only stronger.
Very soon, Amal felt like no matter what happened, she would never want to be with anyone else.
Amal basically made everyone cry, including George, (!) when she confessed her devotion.
Only six months after coming out as a couple, George went on one knee.
It was a shock for Amal, and as George revealed to Ellen, she did not even realize it was
a proposal at first!
And she made George Clooney, I mean, GEORGE... CLOONEY wait for 25 minutes.
He was confused, and carefully said that he needs an answer.
The couple tied the knot in a very elegant wedding with one hundred guests.
After four years of family life the couple is happy, but not everything is that simple.
As many others, they do have some misunderstandings. For instance, they have a sports issue.
As is well known, Clooney is a big sports fan, so every weekend he must enjoy some time
watching the games.
For Amal, it`s like torture, but she tries to share that hobby with her sweetheart.
It is also pretty hard raising the one-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, as both parents
are very busy with their international careers.
George quipped that fatherhood had made him "much older."
Clooney declared that he`s a mess but Amal is like an Olympic athlete when it comes to the kids.
However, the actor added with a smile that he is very good at diaper changing.
After all, George admits that he has never been happier in a relationship by any stretch
of the imagination.
“At 52. I found the love of my life and I’m really happy.”
And we are happy for you too, George!
