‘They\u2019ve got no time for each other’\u2013 George and Amal Clooney make huge decision after years of separate lives<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Their busy lives have taken a toll on the power couple<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There was once a period when George Clooney held two very important but not unrelated job titles; ‘Actor’ and ‘World’s Most Eligible Bachelor.’ I think we’d all agree that these carried equal weight on a global scale, and so George treated both titles with the utmost seriousness. True, every couple of years there seemed to be a revolving door of glamorous, beautiful women who joined George at premieres and luxurious getaways at his Lake Como residence. C\u00e9line Balitran, Lisa Snowdon, Sarah Larson, Elisabetta Canalis and Stacy Keibler among them. And yet, despite the fact that they were all gorgeous women who adored him to within an inch of his life \u2013 Mr. Clooney remained resolutely wifeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, in July 2013, along came a woman named Amal Alamuddin, who walked through the doors of the Clooney Lake Como compound on the arm of their mutual friend, and everything shifted. She was the very embodiment of a superwoman, and she even sported a cape \u2013 the cape of justice, for she was an international human rights lawyer and barrister. She possessed superhuman gifts of intellect and beauty, an irresistible combination that George simply couldn’t say no to \u2013 he had at last met a woman so accomplished that she made him seem, well, frankly a touch lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Following a flurry of email exchanges, the pair stepped away from their inboxes and began dating in the real world. George said of their immediate spark; “It’s the wildest thing. A mutual friend of ours said, ‘I’m stopping by and can I bring my friend?’ And I was like, ‘Of course.’ But it seems other people had already sensed that Amal and George were meant to be. Speaking during an interview with legendary US talk show host David Letterman, George revealed, ‘I got a call from my agent who called me and said, ‘I met this woman who’s coming to your house who you’re gonna marry.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And marry they did, after George proposed on 28 April 2014, “I knew fairly quickly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Amal. When I asked her, we had never talked about it. There wasn’t like ‘Maybe we should get married.’ I dropped it on her \u2026 I have someone \u2026 who I care about more than I’ve cared about anything, so it’s really nice,” Recounting the at-home proposal, which followed a pasta dinner, George told The Hollywood Reporter, “I did all the stuff, got down on my knee and did all the things you’re supposed to do. And she just kept staring at the ring, going, ‘Oh, my God.’ He continued, ‘It was 20 minutes of me on my knee, waiting for her to say yes, because she was so shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple married just five months afterwards at the Amande Canal Resort in Venice. Skip ahead to 2017, when it was announced that the Clooneys were set to become parents \u2013 and, as if that wasn’t thrilling enough, they were expecting twins! Born on 6 June 2017, the statement read, “This morning Amal and George welcomed Ella and Alexander George into their lives. Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine. George is sedated and should recover in a few days,” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of openly professing their love and devotion to one another, George once confessed, “I felt that I had met someone who I would absolutely, you know, trade my life for. I met someone who her life meant more to me than my life. And I’d never had that experience before.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it seems the Clooneys have encountered a spot of not-so-smooth sailing over recent months. The pair have been enjoying glamorous outings in Lake Como, and a source suggests it’s part of a much-needed lift for the couple to reintroduce some spice into their marriage, which is reportedly said to have been struggling for some time and faces another significant test when he begins filming Oceans 14 later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An insider says, “They’ve both been very consumed with work the past couple of years and that absolutely took a toll on the relationship, there just wasn’t any time for each other. They weren’t fighting but they also were getting any work life balance and that eventually kills the passion in any relationship, even for these two. George went through the wringer last year doing that show on Broadway, it took him ages to recover and he sort of let himself go a little. Amal always looks incredibly glamorous, but for a while George just wasn’t really making the same effort with his appearance. He’d just throw on his dad jeans and not think much about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he’s had a wake-up call and has realized he needs to woo his wife again. So, he’s breaking out all the designer duds again and looking really good and Amal has noticed, the spark is back. They are dating each other again, and they’re getting out living life again, after spending a long period hidden away working.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout George’s lengthy interview with David Letterman, he explained how he was blindsided by meeting the woman who would become his wife of twelve years, “I thought 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.’ \u2026 I’d never been in the position where someone else’s life was infinitely more important to me than my own,”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regrettably, it appears that even though a deep and life-altering bond still exists between husband and wife \u2013 even the Clooneys aren’t exempt from the odd conflict. It seems demanding work schedules have left them missing some of the magic that makes them such an aspirational couple. But that’s something they’re determined to put right and made a big decision earlier in the summer to prioritise each other.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They hadn’t planned to spend the summer in Italy, they started out at their home in France but then they were evacuated because of the wildfires there so they ended up packing up and leaving for the place in Como. It was pretty scary, they didn’t know at one point if their home would survive, thankfully it did but it still really affected them. It was a very sobering reminder of just how unpredictable and fragile life can be. The silver lining is that it did push them to savour the moment more. Amal is a very social person by nature, she loves getting dressed up and going out for dinner and George often shies away from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Lately he’s making a big effort to take her out more, it’s like they are back to dating. It has made it easier being in Como because they have so many longtime friends and connections there. They are constantly getting invited out and they have been accepting a lot of the invites. They’re taking the kids out as well, which is fun. It isn’t exactly easy to make it happen \u2013 even in the summer they both have very demanding work schedules. Amal has so much she’s trying to accomplish and George is deep in his prep for Oceans 14. In order to have quality time together they have to schedule it, which is why there are times it’s fallen to the wayside. But they’ve both vowed not to let that happen anymore. They are still very much in love and neither of them wants to take that for granted and risk losing what they have so they’ve been really doing the work to make sure they revive the spark. The good news is that it’s working, they are back in step and very happy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
