George Clooney Opens Up About Marriage with Wife Amal — and Why They’ve ‘Never Had an Argument’

“Every­body gets ticked off when I say it, but we’ve nev­er had a fight,” the actor said of his mar­riage to wife Amal

George Clooney is shar­ing a rare glimpse into his mar­riage with human rights lawyer Amal Clooney — and it turns out their rela­tion­ship is as peace­ful as it is inspir­ing.

Dur­ing an inter­view with CBS News’ Seth Doane, the Oscar-win­ning actor revealed that he and Amal have man­aged to avoid argu­ments alto­geth­er through­out their mar­riage.

“When you’re younger, you want to be right about every­thing — ‘Don’t paint that col­or on the wall,’ ” George joked. “Amal and I — and every­one gets ticked off when I say this — we’ve nev­er had a fight. We nev­er had an argu­ment.”

For George, the secret lies in learn­ing what real­ly mat­ters.

“At this point in my life, if she wants to paint the wall red, I don’t care,” he said. “You get to a point where you just go, ‘Why would that be a dis­cus­sion or an argu­ment?’ We have an amaz­ing rela­tion­ship because we’re so sup­port­ive of each oth­er. I just don’t care about the small stuff any­more.”

A Love That Began in Venice

George and Amal first met in July 2013 through a mutu­al friend. The con­nec­tion was instant — so much so that George pro­posed less than a year lat­er, in April 2014.

“I knew fair­ly quick­ly that I want­ed to spend the rest of my life with Amal,” George recalled. “When I asked her, we had nev­er talked about it. There wasn’t a ‘Maybe we should get mar­ried.’ I just knew I had some­one I cared about more than any­thing.”

The cou­ple tied the knot in a roman­tic cer­e­mo­ny in Venice in Sep­tem­ber 2014 — the same city that has become a recur­ring back­drop in their love sto­ry.

Family Life and Endless Admiration

In June 2017, George and Amal became par­ents to twins Alexan­der and Ella. Since then, the cou­ple has bal­anced high-pro­file careers with fam­i­ly life, often choos­ing to stay out of the spot­light to pro­tect their children’s pri­va­cy.

Their admi­ra­tion for one anoth­er, how­ev­er, con­tin­ues to shine in pub­lic moments. At the 2023 DVF Awards in Venice, Amal accept­ed the DVF Lead­er­ship Award and paid a heart­felt trib­ute to her hus­band.

“I am here in Venice with my hus­band; he is a ris­ing star,” she joked dur­ing her speech. “Venice is the place where almost nine years ago we were mar­ried. You, my love, like this city, take my breath away and make our lives mag­i­cal. It’s some­times hard to believe you exist — thank you for being the bright­est light in my life.”

From Hol­ly­wood red car­pets to qui­et fam­i­ly moments, George and Amal Clooney prove that true part­ner­ship isn’t about per­fec­tion — it’s about per­spec­tive, patience, and unwa­ver­ing respect.
