George Clooney has shared an insight into his marriage to Amal Clooney, making a surprising claim about their decade-long union in a new TV interview.

George Clooney shares surprising insight to marriage with Amal

George Clooney made a shocking declaration that marriage is “easy” and that he and wife, Amal, still have never fought after a decade together.

Two years after telling Gayle King that communication in his marriage to the human rights lawyer is “the easiest thing by far” and that they’d “never had an argument,” the Wolfs actor, 63, doubled down on the claim.

“I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we’d never had an argument,” he told King during a Monday interview on CBS Mornings.

“We still haven’t,” he continued. “We’re trying to find something to fight about!”

“I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman,” continued the Oscar winner. “And 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.”

George and Amal appeared together on the program in 2022, when the topic first arose with the talk show host.

“It’s maddening to some of our friends,” Amal said at the time. “I have a cousin, actually, every time we see him he’s like, his first question is, ‘So have you had an argument yet?’ before he says ‘hello.’”

An incredulous King then asked if the couple had “seriously” never argued, to which George jokingly replied, “Would you like us to now? Would that make you feel better?”

Amal largely chalked the perfect pairing up to good fortune.

“It’s 99 per cent luck just to meet the right person,” she told King, adding that they strive not to be “cynical” or “guarded” with each other in order to avoid conflict.

George married the human rights lawyer, 47, in a star-studded ceremony attended by Matt Damon and Emily Blunt in Venice, Italy, in 2014. The couple subsequently welcomed twins Ella and Alexander in 2017.

“Our kids are 7, about to be 8, which is a pretty great age,” George told King during Monday’s episode. “They’re really curious and funny. Every parent thinks their kids are great. Our kids are funny and make us laugh.”

This isn’t the first time the actor, who is currently starring in Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway, has gushed about his wife.

When asked by Page Six in 2023 if he thought he was “punching above” his weight with his accomplished wife, he admitted, “Yes, and I still do [think that].”

“Everyone would say the same thing,” he laughed.
