On the brink of celebrating their third year anniversary, here’s a look at 11 things you probably didn’t know about George and Amal Clooney’s relationship!
11. How They Met
George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin reportedly met through a mutual friend in September 2013 at a charity fundraiser, but they didn’t take their relationship public until October 24 when they were photographed for the first time having dinner together in London. At the time this photograph was taken, Clooney’s rep denied reports that they were dating, but today, they are much more open about their relationship. In an interview with Ellen, George admitted that it was kind of love at first sight when he saw the now 39-year-old lawyer which is probably one of the reasons their relationship seemed to move so quickly. “It was one of those funny things. From the minute we met we just hit it off. From the minute we met, we sort of felt like we were gonna be together,” he said.
