To be gutted if Amal and George were to split

Amal always looks so chic (well, nearly always) and smiley and happy and rich

Daily Mail link Ignore the carping and enjoy the glamour.

After Brangelina, Zoe and Norman, and Niaomi Watts and Liev have split, I hope the Clooneys last the course.

it's a slow day at work

I can barely be gutted for people splitting up who I know personally never mind strangers

FlyingDragon · 27/09/2016 14:43

I don't believe that they married because they love each other at all.

squoosh · 27/09/2016 14:43

Hopefully in time you'd come to term with your grief and after a long period of upset the world would start look a little less bleak.

They'd always live on in your heart though OP.

FlyingElbows · 27/09/2016 14:45

You could be as gutted, deverstated, shocked, stunned, heartbroken etc as you like. It would be a complete waste of your time but you must feel as you feel.

VladmirsPoutine · 27/09/2016 14:46

What with everything else in the world resolved, I agree it's time to start focusing on more crucial issues such as celeb relationships.

Topanga1 · 27/09/2016 14:47

Thank you for understanding, squoosh.

Couldn't care less what strangers do. Whatever happens in their marriage there's nothing remotely sad about their extremely wealthy, privileged lives.

biscuitkumquat · 27/09/2016 14:58

I have invested far too much time thinking about this, and I feel they married because George intends to get into politics at some point in the future, and people would talk if he was unmarried.

If that is the case, they won't split.

DiJiBiDi · 27/09/2016 15:01

She's a very intelligent woman so I'd like to think she knows how to keep her man

I mean after all for a man that swore up and down he'd never marry, she must have been the bees knees and all for him to tie the knot...

SuckingEggs · 27/09/2016 15:09

They bore me. So, yes Yabu Wink

Topanga1 · 27/09/2016 15:10

And she loves (or at least tolerates) being photographed so she greets the paparazzi with a beaming smile. As does George. The Beckhams could learn a thing or two from the Clooneys about being graciously papped.

I saw George Clooney in a restaurant on Florida many moons ago. He was dining with a younger gentleman. They looked very happy together.

Parsley1234 · 27/09/2016 15:17

Two goats - exactly I think she is his beard.

Topanga1 · 27/09/2016 15:18

I was dining with a female friend the other day. She's 10 years older than me and on lookers would have seen us smiling and laughing. Do you think they thought we were gay?

Anyway, back to Amal and her pretty clothes ...

GloriaGaynor · 27/09/2016 15:18

I must say I don't give a bugger either way.

My mother is preoccupied that Amal is too thin to get pregnant.

SapphireStrange · 27/09/2016 15:18

I aso came on to say isn't she just his beard anyway?

squoosh · 27/09/2016 15:19

That is the rumour. And if the rumour is true they've probably got a better shot at having a long marriage. Hopefully that will be of some solace to the OP.

TheNaze73 · 27/09/2016 15:22

You can just tell how in love with her he is. As they married late & probably knew more about what they didn't want in a relationship, I'd say they have a great chance of going the distance

Parsley1234 · 27/09/2016 15:27

If you google him his connection to Cindy Crawfords husband is diamond !

BeMorePanda · 27/09/2016 15:28

graciously papped my arse.

I don't think anyone out of the public spotlight has a bloody clue as to what it is like to be constantly followed by paparazzi. And here you are judging if they have been gracious enough, or "could do better".

Seriously, get a life - don't waste any more of your precious remaining braincells fretting over if a celebrity was gracious enough to the scum that make up most of the paparazzi, or not.

ilovesooty · 27/09/2016 15:29

I can't imagine why anyone would be bothered but I suppose you feel as you feel.

bloomburger · 27/09/2016 15:32

I'm with biscuitkumquat. Although I'd rather like George as a world leader. Would defiantly make me more knowledgeable about world affairs!

Smoogi · 27/09/2016 15:33

She's his beard. she'll get a nice wee sum when her contract is up. he can afford it.
your guttedness is misplaced.

MiniCooperLover · 27/09/2016 15:47

She's an intelligent highly regarded lawyer who has worked with and for some of the highest connected people around ... She is not his beard !!!! I think he had a lot of fun and basically got to his mid 50s and realised he was starting to run the risk of looking like a dirty old man constantly dating young women so sensibly found someone to marry who would eventually take care of him.
