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??

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

Up to this point I thought I had read the stupidest post on this thread but no - along you come and say this.

Do you know how this makes you sound?

Why on earth would Amal, an absurdly successful human rights lawyer who has continued in this career and not attempted any kind of showbiz pivot, agree to be a beard? What possible benefit would she get from that?! She doesn’t need him!

I think he gets all the benefits in this relationship (and I’m sure he would agree!) in terms of social clout etc.

So perhaps they’re just a disgustingly attractive, successful couple who are in love. Enough to make my blood boil, tbh 😂

She clearly enjoys the spotlight, and that’s not a criticism.

AmyDuPlantier · 29/08/2025 18:48

I think if anyone could come out and it not massively dent their career it would be him.

PanderBare · 29/08/2025 18:48

@TomatoSandwiches , He's Rande Gerber.

Seriously, why could it not be real? I love to believe it is, and he took his time to finally settle down, so it was surely a very well considered pairing. He strikes me as someone with very strong values, and they have similar interests. Looks aside, it would seem they have so much more going on to hold them together. He's lost none of his charm, still twinkles, doesn't look as though he has to work at his relationship, but more like he's gained from it and the strong base/family he now has.

Someone being good looking doesn't mean they're gay, any more than holding out for something spectacular does. There are always rumours, but that's exactly what they are. Some men have their fun, and they grow up.

I, for one, hope it's real. It's not as if they're on display all of the time, they have space for glitches, but being grown-up and emotionally intelligent, they don't have to play them out in the public eye if and when they do.

Two thing can simultaneously be true - they are in a normal, loving relationship which has its ups and downs, and they can turn on the smiles for big occasions like a film premiere.

Is he gay in the way Hugh Jackman is gay, ie he was married to his ‘beard’ for years, then left her…for another woman. So most likely not gay at all.

NewYorkSummer · 29/08/2025 18:50

Cindy Crawfords husband.

I follow her on Instagram. They still seem genuinely in love too.

Oh well maybe Hanz Greubers cousin? 😂

I don't buy the gay line either. I've never heard any evidence of him being gay and he just doesn't give any vibes..

So your theory is that while it may not be a marriage of convenience per se, it cannot be what it seems to be, ie a happy and fulfilling relationship ?

I think you asked the wrong question anyway.
The mystery is: What in the name of God was Amal thinking with that ‘Sabrina Carpenter/Debs Disco Chic’ fuchsia satin gown monstrosity? Thought she had much better taste 😳

Of course it can be real and good luck to them both if it is, they are blessed.

I just wondered, hence the thread.

Amal Clooney is intelligent, successful and beautiful. Why on earth would someone expose themselves to the scrutiny she must live under. If she wanted the money she could have married someone anonymous.

George Clooney is seriously punching.

Not exactly Clooney-level A listers, are they?

Jesus Chris if you’re going to make up stories ,at least, make them funny,interesting, gossipy.

It very well could be that they each have a busy and successful life, so they are genuinely happy together.

I don't know the details of their life, but I know enough couples with very successful and interesting individuals, busy with work who are best friends because they have things to talk about, they are friends, and they don't spend their life like so many posters on here, bickering about doing "bedtime" together or the food shop.

What kills many couple is the boredom and the petty details of mundane life. How can you keep the sparks between 2 people when they argue about the direction of the toilet paper or the other one farts in bed?

Firstholiday · 29/08/2025 18:57

Definitely gay. I used to read loads of items saying Rande and him were the actual couple, that Cindy C is gay as well. Amal is the ideal wife if going into politics and apparently she loves the glamorous existence too. Who wouldn't though, two beautiful kids, mega rich? After years of men being a disappointment, I would quite happily be her! I think thats also why Angelina distanced herself, because she's not the fake type

she's not Kate Middleton who fought for that life, Clooney is famous but his private life is actually private. A few public events can be interesting I am sure.
