George and Amal Clooney continue to defy the odds with a marriage that remains, by George’s account, argument-free.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings to promote his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, the 63-year-old actor and director reflected on life with Amal, 46, whom he married in 2014.
Speaking with host Gayle King, Clooney said, “We’re having a really great time in life,” and credited much of his happiness to his family.
“Our kids are 7, about to be 8, which is a pretty great age,” he said of the couple’s twins, Alexander and Ella. “They’re really curious and funny. Every parent thinks their kids are great—our kids are funny and make us laugh.”
Revisiting a previous conversation with King, Clooney reaffirmed an earlier claim that he and Amal have never had an argument.
“I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we’d never had an argument. We still haven’t. We’re trying to find something to fight about!”
Clooney also discussed how he felt about where he has landed in life.
“I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman. I feel as if I hit the jackpot. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world. So it’s great.”
Clooney has recently taken a step back from directing and towards acting roles that will leave him with more time for his family.
People questioned the nature of their relationship if they truly never argue.
Some argued that it's possible to find a perfect match.
Money probably smooths over a lot of potential conflicts.
And maybe their busy careers help?
Some were more charitable in their assumptions.
George Clooney can currently be seen in Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway.
