Clooney`s engagement to Amal Alamuddin officially confirmed

Los Angeles: Hollywood superstar George Clooney`s engagement to British lawyer Amal Alamuddin has being officially confirmed.

Clooney, 52, and Alamuddin, 36, were hit with engagement rumours a week ago after just seven months of dating when the attorney was spotted wearing a diamond ring, reportedly. Nick and Nina Clooney, the actor`s parent, who have been married for almost 55 years expressed their delight on the couple`s engagement. "We are very pleased. We like Amal and we are very excited for our family and thrilled for them. They are both wonderful people and hope they have a terrific life ahead of them. This is George and Amal`s time," Nick said. Doughty Street Chambers, Alamuddin`s law firm, had also released a congratulating statement after the engagement news. This will be the second marriage for George, who was previously married to Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993.
