My dad taught me the value of listening and learning [but] the most important lesson [is] never to put people down…[Bell’s Palsy is a] tricky thing. So, you develop a better personality and learn how to make jokes about it.

Clooney, Balsam Divorce
The couple divorce after nearly three years of marriage. Clooney claims the reason for this divorce was his youth.
I probably, definitely, wasn’t someone who should have been married at that point, I just don’t feel like I gave Talia a fair shot.
George’s father, Nick:
Talia is a lovely girl. But they probably shouldn’t have got married while George’s career was on the verge of such a white-hot period. In truth, neither of them is to blame. There was just too much going on in their lives to give marriage the effort it needs. They both wound up getting hurt, which is really too bad.

Stacy called it quits. She wants to have children and a family someday. She knows where George stands on that. They talked and they quietly stopped being a couple several weeks ago.

George and Amal are trying to keep things very low-key but they also aren’t really trying to hide this, it doesn’t seem. I think it’s like they want the people they love to know that this is real, that they plan on being together forever
Daily Mail op-ed: No conflict with mother-in-law
After The Daily Mail reports George Clooney’s future mother-in-law does want Clooney to marry her daughter, Amal, because of religious differences, and the actor responds in an op-ed:
First of all, factually none of the story is true. Amal’s mother is not Druze. She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage, but none of that is the issue…The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous.
After the op-ed was published, The Daily Mail removed the article from its website, The Mail Online, and issued a statement:
The MailOnline story was not a fabrication but supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist. She based her story on conversations with a long standing contact who has strong connections with senior members of the Lebanese community in the UK and the Druze in Beirut. We only became aware of Mr. Clooney’s concerns this morning and have launched a full investigation. However, we accept Mr. Clooney’s assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, Miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother, Baria, for any distress caused.

We have to work very hard to keep our pictures OUR pictures. If you see someone taking a photo with a phone … you can help by notifying security.
