The Clooneys - is it real

Just that, they seem so deliriously in love in every picture I've seen of them.

More power to them if they are that happy, they've both hit the jackpot in so many ways.

But.. to still look so enthralled with each other after so many years??

She's always been rich, hasn't she got a very wealthy family?

Perzackly. I remember contortionists on gossip blogs trying to cast her as a gold digger, and getting nowhere. She was already well off, well connected, and a high earner to boot.

My friend had a big crush on him and actually went to lake como to try and see him -with the hope she would snare him- she is gorgeous looking - she didn't see him but she said waiters in a restaurant he visits said he likes young men!!!
Who knows - he seems very kind and has a gentle manner - am sure he's a great Dad.

Maybe the waiters were used to dealing with ambitious young women like her!

George and Amal Clooney would be much happier living their lives honestly.

@RanyaJerodung she looks unhealthily thin. I hope her health is ok.

Or just very rich? She has gorgeous skin and hair and looks well to me

Aye, and just you see how that goes when they play Hi Ho, Silver Lining! Mass scarper.

I never believe anything I see anymore 😭

I think that the Travis and Taylor swift engagement is a pr thing 🙈

RodeoJoan · 29/08/2025 20:23

What absolute rot that story is. There is no way, in this day and age of internet oversharing, that an incident that serious would not have gone mainstream. You're talking a massive police and emergency services cover up involving a teen.

I'm with @Millytante, the homophobia creeping into this thread is getting disturbing.

Oh God, that was funny. First time I’ve ever had such a laugh here and I’m so wanting to say I could go a lifetime without a poke oh chips if I had a poke fae George Clooney instead but being the lady that I am …….

Naughty! 😂

MrsKeats · 29/08/2025 18:39

I know someone who dated George’s cousin. It’s well known that he’s gay.

That's about as verifiable as "there's a man works down the chip-shop swears he's Elvis".

JNicholson · 29/08/2025 20:22

Wildfairy · 29/08/2025 17:25

That’s actually laughable, clooney is clearly not gay, and even if he was, he certainly wouldn’t need a beard, nor would a successful human rights lawyer agree to it and have kids with him. Cmon, lazy comment,

Show quote history

Why is he ‘clearly’ not gay? We don’t know him.

20 years these two were together....💖

Genuinelyenquiring · 29/08/2025 20:18

Years ago, some fairly reliable source told me they were both gay so it was a marriage of mutual convenience. I don't really understand why she couldn't be out but that's what I was told.

Millytante · 29/08/2025 20:14

Haha!
Which has freed her to focus on human rights cases and causes very important to her, and not need any more to accept work in order to earn a crust, I’d imagine.
Still, she adores couture, and a Jet Set lifestyle too. Can’t blame her for indulging any of that side of things. It was hardly a rags to riches tale, as she wasn’t exactly wanting before she met GC.

Namechangedagain999 · 29/08/2025 20:16

I thought it was common knowledge that GC has a love across the lake. I’ve read that somewhere. Anyway he shouldn’t be so ashamed of being gay. Though there is a real desire for ‘normal’ life with wife and 2.5 kids. It’s a nice thing to want. And if you can afford everything in life you should have everything you want. Absolutely everything.

@CoffeeLipstickKeys I've got 10-1 on you, hen.

Does anyone think Amal Clooney has ever had an Irn Bru, a scratch card or a poke of chips?

Needmorelego · 29/08/2025 20:14

Wasn't his longest relationship before he got married with his pig Max?
I mean I don't know what my point is here....but he was pretty devoted to Max from what I remember reading 😂
