After an ill-fated marriage to Talia Balsam in 1989, George Clooney swore off marriage; and we believed him. However, just two weeks ago, he exchanged vows with the amazing Amal Alamuddin. As excited as we are that George found such a smart, beautiful, strong, and simply spectacular woman to spend the rest of his life with, we can’t help but be just a tad shocked. After all, George Clooney is Hollywood’s resident bachelor! He’s chased quite a few women in his time– some of whom it looked like he was going to end up with– but always kept to his promise to never again get married.
