• As a self-sworn bachelor, George Clooney’s romantic adventures have always captured the imagination of his fans.
• Despite his initial promise to never marry after his first marriage ended, he eventually found a second chance at love.
• Let’s take a closer look at George’s first wife, who our readers believe is even more beautiful than his wife, Amal.

This feature dives deep into the stories of both relationships. We’ll explore how George and Amal’s relationship blossomed, the public’s opinion on who is more beautiful, and the significant differences between the two women. Let’s start by uncovering the story of how George and Amal met most unexpectedly.

George met Amal most unexpectedly—through a mutual friend. It was a serendipitous encounter that neither of them saw coming. George didn’t even have to leave his house to meet the woman who would become his wife.

Amal was visiting Italy with a friend who decided to introduce her to George at his home near Lake Como. The actor humorously recounts the events leading up to their initial encounter. His agent said that he’d found the woman George would marry, a notion he initially dismissed as a joke.

A friend of Amal shared, “[Amal] was looking for Mr. Perfect, and he was nowhere to be found.” But when she and George met, she found what she had been looking for.

After weeks of writing to each other, George made a trip to London and made a plan to woo her. He invited her to Abbey Road Studios for a movie scoring session—an invitation Amal accepted despite her hectic schedule.

He placed the engagement ring in a box with a lighter and asked Amal to light the candles he had conveniently blown out. When she found the ring, she was confused, thinking it was left there by someone else. “It was a disaster,” he said.

George, still in his position on the floor, finally had to ask for an answer. “Listen, I really would like to marry you, but I also am not young and I’ve been on my knee now. And I could like lose a hip, you know? And then she goes, ‘Oh, yes,'” he recalled.

His current wife has been called the world’s hottest lawyer but what do fans have to say about his ex-wife? Public opinion is divided, with some praising Amal’s sophistication while others reminisce about his ex-wife’s natural beauty.

When we posted a side-by-side photo of Amal and George’s ex-wife online, it sparked a heated debate about who was more beautiful. One Amomama reader commented, “Amal is very striking and sophisticated. Talia is more natural and pretty.” Many others simply said, “First wife of course!”

There were also comments about how similar the two women looked. “They’re like sisters,” one reader noted. Despite the differing opinions, many agreed that both women are beautiful, each in their own unique way.

Who is Amal Clooney?

Amal Clooney, born Amal Alamuddin, is not just the wife of a Hollywood star. She is an accomplished international lawyer specializing in human rights. Amal co-founded the Clooney Foundation for Justice with George.

Her impressive resume includes cases at the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the European Court of Human Rights.

Her dedication to human rights and her high-profile cases have made her a respected figure in the legal community. In addition to her courtroom achievements, Amal is also an educator.

She is often seen as a fashion icon, but it is her legal work and humanitarian efforts that truly define her. Her public image is that of a sophisticated, intelligent, and accomplished woman.

Now, let’s turn our attention to George’s first marriage and the woman who once held his heart.

Before meeting Amal, George was married to actress Talia Balsam. Just like George, her career started in the late ’70s. They met in 1984 during a local play and quickly fell in love.

After breaking up and reuniting years later, they got married. However, the marriage lasted only three years before it started to unravel. George has openly admitted that he was not ready for marriage at the time.

Despite this, George and Talia have moved on with their lives. Talia is now happily married to actor John Slattery, with whom she shares a son, Harry.

“We were together five years before we were married,” he said. The couple got married in December 1998.

“We travel a lot—sometimes alone, sometimes together. And I think that independence is a big part of it; having your own life is a big part of being happy together,” he added.

Talia continues to have a successful career in acting and has nothing but kind words for George, stating, “George is charming. He remains charming.”

As for George and Amal, their relationship is still thriving, and they have built a lovely family together.

George and Amal’s relationship continues to thrive, marked by mutual respect and admiration. In June 2017, the couple welcomed twins, Ella and Alexander. Although it came as a shock for George, he was ecstatic to become a father.

He often expresses how fortunate he feels to have found Amal, describing her as the perfect partner. “Every single day of my life, I just feel lucky… Sometimes in life, it doesn’t happen on your schedule, but you find the person that you were always supposed to be with,” he once said.

In the end, the comparisons between Amal and Talia highlight the distinct qualities that make each woman remarkable. While public opinion may differ, it is clear that both women have had a great impact on George’s life, shaping him into the person he is today.
