The pair, who share twins Ella and Alexander, got married in 2014 and welcomed their babies three years later.

During an interview in 2023, the Ocean's Eleven star shared how he makes his relationship with Amal work.

"She does all the heavy lifting and the law degree work, and I try to make it loud," he told The New York Times. "I think it's kind of a good team effort."

"Exposing the problem is a big part of the process, and then we also want to be part of the solution," Amal added.

George also gave insight into how his kids have been doing.

"It would be wonderful," Amal said, referring to how she hopes her tots get into advocacy work. "It’s hard to tell what they’re going to be interested in at this age right now."

"Right now, it's a lot of headbanging music," George joked.

"They're kind and they're curious," Amal said. "That's all we can expect for the time being."

Though George is one of the most recognizable people in the world, he remains humble.

“A lot of people — even who reach a fairly high level of fame — find a way to be able to kind of live a normal life, walk around the streets of New York without being followed and stuff like that,” he recently told GQ magazine. “And there’s, I dunno, five or six of us where it’s just never subsided. And there’s never been that like, ‘Hey, let’s take a walk through Central Park and not get hammered.’ It just hasn’t happened yet.”

“We have to work hard at [it],” he said of the duo maintaining their privacy.
