From an unconventional romance to one of the world's most coveted singles settling down and getting married, there are plenty of fun facts about how George Clooney and Amal became a couple. If you want to know how this relationship plays out, here's George and Amal Clooney's complete timeline!
They met at a party in July 2013
The actor met the love of his life through a mutual friend at a party he hosted. The party occurred at one of George Clooney's houses near Lake Como in Italy. On the other hand, Amal was on her way to Cannes with a mutual friend. Although George Clooney admits there is an immediate attraction, the romance begins much later. They started talking because she had to send pictures of his parents at the party, which is how their affair began.
Their first date was in London.
Later that year, in October 2013, George Clooney asked Amal on a date in London. At the Abbey Road studios, he was working on his directorial debut, Monuments Men. George reminisced that London was the perfect place for a first date. Amal chose a modern and stylish restaurant for their first date. When they came out, they were surrounded by the paparazzi, but Amal handled it all like a pro. That must be the effect of being a good lawyer. After the first date, things got dire for this couple.
They are on vacation around the world.
Even though George is working on another movie, he's still having a good time with Amal and traveling the world together. That year they enjoyed each other's company, including Christmas in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After they emailed repeatedly, George realized that he and Amal were more than just friends, so they wouldn't let time pass. They went entirely ahead, knowing each other and building their relationship. But they still need to finish their adventure.
Amal and George visit Africa.
George and Amal's trip to Africa is significant in their relationship. The two went on a safari in February 2014. In an interview, George revealed that when he looked back at the photos, he realized he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. The couple went hunting in Tanzania and then took a tropical vacation in Seychelles. George and Amal are pictured on the beach holding a tropical fruit. The actor said the travel and Amal looking at the giraffe made him want to propose.
Proposal in 2014
Surprisingly, the actor is the chef in the family. And for this special occasion, he decided to cook Amal a special dinner in April 2014. After sitting down, George asks her to take something from the drawer. When Amal went to get a lighter, she found a ring instead. The actor got on his knees, proposed, and did everything a gentleman should do. Amal was shocked and kept staring at the ring as George knelt and waited for an answer for almost 20 minutes until she agreed.
They got married in September 2014
If getting married in the same year and receiving a marriage proposal seems rushed, it doesn't seem to be the case for this loving couple. They exchanged vows on a beautiful altar in a luxury resort in Venice, Italy. Their marriage proposal and marriage shocked many ardent fans of the single guy. Friends and family joined them in their multi-day love affair with many celebrations to celebrate the newlyweds. Among the guests, there are many famous people.
