George and Amal Clooney’s  million family home hit by devastating flood

George and Amal Clooney’s $18 million family home hit by devastating flood

George and Amal Clooney’s $18 million English mansion has been submerged in water by the recent floods that have hit Berkshire and south Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom. Rivers in the area have become saturated after weeks of heavy rainfall, with flood alerts issued across the country. Boasting nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as sprawling reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen, a conservatory, and 5.5 acres of land, George and Amal’s house in Sonning is the epitome of luxury. However, its riverside location has resulted in the tennis court and garden covered with water after the banks burst. Sonning-on-Thames is a riverside village, which is a 45 minute train ride from the capital. The property, Aberdash House, is located on a 5.5 acre private island on the River Thames. George and Amal acquired the UK home just before they wed in 2014, and moved in two years later after renovations. In a profile for British Vogue released in 2018, the reporter, Nathan Heller, headed to their island home on Sonning-on-Thames in Oxfordshire and described …

George and Amal Clooney’s internal parenting struggle with twins’ nanny: ‘I felt like my mother’

George and Amal Clooney are one of Hollywood’s favourite A-list couples, best known for their glamorous red carpet appearances, philanthropy and romantic love story. However, we don’t often get a glimpse into what the couple are like as parents, and on the rare occasions we do, it’s been a revealing insight into the family dynamic, such as the strict house rule for their twins that they revealed in summer 2025. The two are the proud parents of twins Alexander and Ella, who were born on 6 June 2017, and the Jay Kelly actor recently described them as ‘rotten to the core’, in a playful way, joking about how the two tease him in Italian, a skill they picked up spending summers at the family’s Lake Como villa, a language he doesn’t understand. But what are George and Amal like as parents? © WireImageAmal Clooney and George Clooney at the Jay Kelly Headline Gala at the 69th BFI London Film Festival They appear to be relatively hands-on, where possible, as he revealed in an interview with …

George Clooney’s wife Amal set the afterparty agenda in disco diva mini dress

Amal Clooney always makes a splash on the red carpet, but her after-party looks might just top them. The human rights barrister and wife of the Jay Kelly actor, George Clooney , reminded us of that very fact in 2022 as she stepped out in London. Often, the red carpet looks for a movie premiere or awards ceremony takes all the limelight, but Amal proved the power of a great party dress when she was seen leaving her hotel ahead of the afterparty at 180 Strand for the Trouble in Paradise London premiere on 7 September 2022.

George Clooney’s wife Amal puts It-girl spin on iconic Versace look in shimmering mini dress

Amal Clooney stole the show on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, but her after-party look was even better. The human rights barrister, 47, put a modern spin on Elizabeth Hurley‘s iconic safety pin gown by Versace from the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral, as she joined her husband, George Clooney, at Netflix’s Golden Globe afterparty at Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills. Amal’s Versace mini dress also featured safety pins, which, rather than holding the side together, connected a crop top to a mini skirt. Both of the pieces were made from shimmering green chainmail, which caught the light beautifully. © GettyAmal Clooney put a modern spin on a dress from 1997 as she attended Netflix’s Golden Globe afterparty The star’s daring look was paired with her Gianvito Rossi ‘Plexi’ pumps with a gold toe, which she has worn to a number of A-list events, including the New York Film Festival premiere of George’s film, Jay Kelly, last September. © GettyAmal rocked the green Versace dress as she posed with Ted …

French Government Defends Granting Citizenship to the Clooneys

French Government Defends Granting Citizenship to the Clooneys

Actor George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney were granted French citizenship because “they contribute, through their distinguished actions, to France’s international influence and cultural outreach,” the French government said Wednesday, defending their naturalization that was questioned by a junior French minister. The naturalizations of the Kentucky-born star of the Ocean’s series of heist movies, his wife and human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, and their twins Ella and Alexander were announced last weekend in the Journal Officiel, where French government decrees are published. Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, a junior minister at the Interior Ministry, expressed misgivings Wednesday that some of the Clooneys’ new French compatriots may think that the star couple was granted special treatment. The actor speaks only what he himself says is “horrible, horrible” French. “The message being sent is not good,” Vedrenne said in an interview with broadcaster France Info. “There is an issue of fairness that, in my eyes, is absolutely essential.” The couple purchased an estate in France in 2021 and Clooney has said that it’s their primary residence. Non-French residents of …

Trump slams Clooneys for acquiring French citizenship – POLITICO

Trump slams Clooneys for acquiring French citizenship – POLITICO

George Clooney is a prominent and longtime fundraiser for the Democratic Party. In July 2024, he published a much-noticed op-ed in the New York Times, urging then U.S. President Joe Biden to step back as the Democratic nominee after Biden’s disastrous performance in a TV debate with Trump. Less than two weeks after, Biden withdrew from the race. Trump referenced that episode in his post, mocking Clooney’s political judgment. “Remember when Clooney … dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!), who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat,” he wrote. The fundraiser Trump mentioned was hosted by Clooney in support of Biden’s campaign. According to a book by two U.S. journalists, Biden did not recognize the actor at the event. Trump continued his attack by dismissing Clooney’s film career. “Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He …
