From the moment they were born, George and Amal Clooney made it a point to keep their children out of the spotlight. They would “never post pictures” of them.
George threatened to sue a media outlet that had released images of their children.
In interviews, the adoring parent frequently brings up his children, who have been in the spotlight previously, alongside his wife.
When it comes to their two children, Hollywood power couple George and Amal Clooney keep a low profile. The legendary actor is incredibly committed to his family; in fact, he once took a leave from acting to focus on his lovely wife.

George’s longtime friend and producing partner, Grant Heslov, who has known him since the 1980s, revealed how meeting Amal had impacted his life in a November 2020 interview. “I literally have never seen him happier,” Grant said.

George reportedly talks about Amal without being asked since he loves her. In the same Grant interview, George discussed his bachelorhood before meeting Amal. “I was like, ‘I’m never getting married. I won’t have kids.”

The actor said he was happy being a bachelor before marrying. Since he was successful, he focused on his career.

George thought his life was full because he had a good career and friends. He realized his life was empty after meeting Amal, noting, “I didn’t know how un-full it was.” Then everything changed. “Oh, actually, this has been a huge empty space.”

George said marriage transformed his life since he had never cared more about someone else than himself. The presence of their children also affected him.

The “Ocean’s Twelve” actor said fatherhood transformed his outlook. He enjoys being selfless and no longer seeing himself first. It’s great. “We feel lucky,” remarked the Oscar winner.

Alexander and Ella Cloney, twins, were born in London’s St. Mary’s Hospital on June 6, 2017, making Amal and George first-time parents. Their daughter Ella arrived two minutes after her brother Alexander.

George and Amal have never revealed Alexander and Ella’s photos since they were born.

The Clooneys’ Kids Rarely Appear in Public
The overly cautious father vowed to sue a French magazine for posting photos of his children some years ago.

In July 2017, George said, “Over the last week, photographers from Voici magazine scaled our fence, climbed our tree, and illegally took pictures of our infants inside our home.”

The media outlet claimed the photos were Alexander and Ella’s first. The site noticed how eager people were to see the photos. George, Amal, Alexander, and Ella were photographed at their Lake Como, Italy, home.

After the magazine’s front cover featured grainy photographs, George said, “Make no mistake, the photographers, the agency and the magazine will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

George later wrote an open letter to the UK tabloid Daily Mail urging them and other media outlets to cease posting images of his son and daughter for fear of “real-world consequences.”

The filmmaker wrote that his wife’s profession as an international law and human rights lawyer “confronts” and prosecutes terrorist groups, putting his family at risk. Thus, the pair must protect their children’s privacy.

He added that since they don’t use social media, he and Amal have never sold a child photo. They “never post pictures” of themselves to protect their lives.

George said he could manage “intrusive” photos as a prominent figure, but his children didn’t.

He tried to hide the twins, but they were seen with their mother at one year old.

 

In a rare public appearance in December 2018, Amal Clooney left The Four Seasons hotel in Midtown Manhattan with Ella and Alexander in her arms. Wearing denim pants and Adidas sneakers, they held matching teddy bears.

That year, an informant said Alexander and Ella resemble their famous parents. “They’re too beautiful, simply adorable,” said the insider. George also thanked God for his kids’ mother’s sight in 2017.

The Clooneys love their kids despite keeping them private.
George’s son Alexander entered a room where his father was being questioned in 2020, and the proud parent was so happy to see him that he forgot the interviewer was there.

The child had brown hair and unusual teeth. His dad put him on his lap and talked to him, ignoring the interviewer.

The “Ocean’s Eleven” star said his youngster comes up and bangs on his bedroom door in the morning. “It is I, Alexander Clooney,” Alexander told the actor.

Then George opened the door and Alexander ran in. Golden Globe winner stated he would laugh out loud when this happened.

George discussed parenthood in December 2020, saying he teaches his kids pranks. His reading to Alexander and Ella includes “Peppa Pig” and “Dr. Seuss.”

The kind parent also said he chopped his kids’ hair during COVID-19 confinement. He and his children’s mother discussed their children on “CBS Mornings” in September 2022.

George stated that the pair taught their children Italian and French. Amal said Alexander is a “big prankster” who frequently pranks his dad.

He also proudly said that his son is a Batman fan and that when he informed him he played the role, he replied, “Yeah, but not anymore.”

Unlike her brother, Ella is shy. George noted how intriguing it is that his twins have diverse personalities. Alexander surpasses his sister in height.

George Clooney revealed in a May 2019 interview that his two-year-old children could count from one to twenty in English and Italian. He claimed they resemble their mother.

People say the youngsters adore painting and their parents always plan exciting summer activities. The family of four “spent the summer in Europe,” a source revealed in 2022.

In September 2023, a source said Ella and Alexander were enjoying summer with their parents. “They take boat rides, do water spots, and have playdates with a small group of friends their age,” the insider said.

George mentioned Alexander and Ella in a GQ interview in 2024, but he did not elaborate. His friend and acting icon Brad Pitt joined him to discuss their lives, professions, and friendship.

In August 2024, the “ER” star discussed how a few celebrities as famous as him live a normal life.

Many famous people find a method to live a normal life, walk around New York without being watched, and so on. There are five or six of us where it never goes away, George said.

George addressed his 7-year-old twins after explaining that he and a few others avoid media controversy since it hasn’t happened yet.

“So I have a goal of trying to protect, I don’t want pictures of my kids,” the actor said, repeating his wish for seclusion.

George said, “[We] don’t want photos of our kids out there. We must work hard to keep private, which is difficult.”
