How did Amal and George first meet?
George and Amal – an acclaimed international criminal law and human rights expert – first crossed paths in Italy in 2013 where the Hollywood actor owns a holiday home.
At the time a mutual friend brought Amal along to Clooney’s home when he visited.
Talking of their first meeting, George previously said: “We met in Lake Como.

“She was a friend of a friend who came to visit and then I chased her for many months, calling and writing, those kinds of things.”
In a separate interview, he added: “I was in Lake Como, single, and a friend of mine said ‘is it ok if I bring my friend over I’m on my way to the Cannes Film Festival.
“My mum and dad were staying with me in Como at the time and a couple of other friends, and so I was like ‘sure bring her over’.
“In walks Amal and she’s stunning and funny, and the smartest person in every room she walks into, and I was really taken with her.”
The pair started dating the same year, and six months into their relationship George popped the question.
Looking back on the night he proposed, George said: “I got down on my knee and said ‘I couldn’t imagine spending the rest of my life without you'”
Although the actor went on to reveal the proposal took longer than expected, adding: “I literally said, ‘look I hope the answer is yes because I need an answer, I’m 52-years-old and I could throw my hip out soon if I don’t get an answer.'”
After Amal said yes, the couple tied the knot in September 2014 during a ceremony held in Venice.

Three years later, Amal and George announced they were expecting twins.
Amal welcomed their son Alexander and daughter Ella in June 2017 with the twins now both three-years-old.
George has since opened up on how Amal changed his life, saying: “I was like, ‘I’m never getting married. I’m not gonna have kids.’
“‘I’m gonna work, I’ve got great friends, my life is full, I’m doing well.’
“And I didn’t know how un-full it was until I met Amal. And then everything changed.
“And I was like, ‘Oh, actually, this has been a huge empty space.’
“I’d never been in the position where someone else’s life was infinitely more important to me than my own. You know?
“And then tack on two more individuals, who are small and have to be fed.”
The Graham Norton Show will air tonight on BBC One at 10.45pm.
