Amal Clooney steps out with one-year-old twins Alexander and Ella

We’d barely seen them since they were born last year, but George and Amal Clooney’s cute toddlers, Alexander and Ella, have finally resurfaced.

Amal Clooney had her hands full in New York City this week, stepping out for a rare public appearance with her toddler twins.

The human rights lawyer, 40, and husband George Clooney, 57, welcomed Alexander and Ella last June.

Motherhood clearly suits Amal, who looked incredibly chic as she emerged from the Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday, carrying both of her kids at the same time.

She was dressed all in black, with leather jeans, a long leopard print vest, black beret, and towering platform boots.

Meanwhile, her adorable twins were both clutching matching teddy bears, with Ella’s face partially covered by a fluffy white beanie.

It’s one of the few times the Clooney babies have been spotted out and about.

The last time they were photographed in public was during a family holiday in Sardinia in June.

Earlier this week, Amal took to the stage at the 23rd annual United Nations Correspondents Association Awards, while her husband watched on proudly from the audience.

She was honoured as 2018’s Global Citizen of the Year at the gala, and made a powerful speech in which she criticised Donald Trump for naming the US press the “enemy of the people” and giving oppressive regimes the “green light” to jail and kill journalists.

Since becoming parents, George and Amal have spent the bulk of their time in England and at the Clooney home at Italy’s Lake Como.

They attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May, and it’s understood they’re currently frontrunners to be named as godparents to the royal baby when it’s born early next year.
