It’s been slightly over a decade since George and Amal Clooney married, and their relationship is still going strong.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings on Monday, the “ER” star spoke about his marital life and what it’s like to be a dad.
“Amal and I are having a really great time in life. Our kids are 7, about to be 8, which is a pretty great age. They’re really curious and funny,” Clooney told host Gayle King.
While reflecting on his relationship with his wife, Clooney recalled a joint interview they did on the same show two years earlier.
“Amal and I, you know, we were here with you once before, and remember we said we’d never had an argument? We still haven’t,” Clooney said. “We’re trying to find something to fight about.”
The couple first met in 2013 and tied the knot a year later in 2014. In 2017, they welcomed twins, Alexander and Ella.
The actor added that he is thankful to have met his wife, even though it happened later in his life.
“I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman, and I feel as if I hit the jackpot,” Clooney said. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world.”
During their joint appearance on “CBS Mornings” in 2022, Clooney told King that it was “easy” to keep their marriage strong.
“Like, the easiest thing in our lives by far. We’ve never had an argument,” Clooney said.
“It’s maddening to some of our friends. I have a cousin, actually, every time we see him, he’s like, his first question is, ‘So have you had an argument yet?’ before he says hello,” Amal Clooney said.
But arguing can be beneficial
It’s common for couples to fight, and arguments might even help enrich a relationship, relationship therapists previously told Business Insider.
“Disagreements will happen, how you respond is what makes the disagreement healthy or not healthy,” JaQuinda Jackson, a licensed therapist in private practice, said.
Getting into a disagreement can teach a person more about where their partner stands regarding specific issues, she said. Being able to reach a solution also helps both parties practice conflict resolution.
Representatives for the Clooneys did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent by BI outside regular hours.
