Amal Clooney<\/strong><\/a> admits she had to adjust to a different lifestyle after tying the knot with George Clooney<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While speaking at a Cartier Dialogues event in Bangkok earlier this month, the international human rights lawyer, 48, detailed how things had shifted.<\/p>\n

“I used to have my work life and my personal life, and they could look quite different, and I was able to not have them mix and then I got married and that changed quite a lot,” Amal said, per a People<\/em> article<\/a> published on Friday, June 26. “And at first I was kind of conscious of that one-dimensional view where I felt like, well, I can’t be seen wearing this dress or doing this because I’m in front of a judge on Monday.”<\/p>\n

Amal continued, “But you know it just doesn’t matter as much as living your life, and ultimately if you’re good at what you do, that is going to shine through or not. I wouldn’t allow that factor to stop me from doing things that were important for my family or for my relationship. It was easier when I could decide what kind of exposure I got. It was something new to navigate.”<\/p>\n

After Amal was introduced to the Ocean’s Eleven<\/em> actor, 65, at his Lake Como house by a mutual friend, the pair fell in love and tied the knot in 2014. The couple welcomed twins, Alexander and Ella<\/a>, in 2017.<\/p>\n

Both Amal and George have gushed over one another over the years, praising their harmonious relationship.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Glamour<\/em> in July 2025, Amal shared how grateful she was<\/a> to have found a “supportive” partner like George.<\/p>\n

“I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do. So I don’t feel like I have to apologize for it or rein it in,” she told the outlet. “And I remember when I became a mom, which was obviously a new frontier, he was the first one to say, \u2018I know you’ve got this speech at the Security Council. You have to go. I’ve got the kids, don’t worry about it.'”<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner has been equally effusive about his wife, telling The New York Times<\/em> in February 2025 that he was “proud” to be her husband<\/a>. He added that he felt as though “everything made sense” after they fell in love.<\/p>\n

“There’s a thing about finding the person that you needed to find, particularly at a certain age, and everything from then on is easy,” he said.<\/p>\n

The actor added that he’s less likely to sweat the small stuff in relationships as he ages, sharing a personal anecdote to make his point.<\/p>\n

“We renovated our house,” George said. “Amal would go, \u2018I want to paint this wall yellow.’ Well, if I was 27 years old and doing construction work, I would’ve been like, \u2018Well, that’s a stupid color.’ But the truth of the matter is that at 60, you just go, \u2018OK.’ There are so many things that would have caused friction that don’t.”<\/p>\n
