‘He Said He’d Be A Bachelor Forever!’ George Clooney's Family Members Reveal How Fiancée Amal Alamuddin Got Him To Commit

Hearts are breaking all over the world now that perpetual bachelor George Clooney is officially off the market, but the only tears his family is crying are those of joy.

"We are thrilled for them. We love Amal,” Clooney’s father, Nick Clooney, told RadarOnline in an exclusive interview. “We think they're a wonderful match and wish them well.”

As for any other details on how their heartthrob son popped the question, he added: “This is their day!”

As RadarOnline.com confirmed, the 52-year-old superstar and the future Mrs. Clooney, international law attorney Amal Alamuddin, were spotted celebrating over dinner at two Los Angeles hotspots last week where the 36-year-old bride-to-be was donning some huge engagement bling.

Clooney’s aunt, Starla Clooney, hopes to not only be invited to the wedding of the century, but would love to play a more notable role.

“I’m just as surprised as the rest of the world. George was going to be a bachelor his whole life,” she added.

“This woman must be exceptionally special to him for him to take the plunge. He hasn’t seen her very long. In the past there has at least been some sort of length of time.”

The Gravity star’s most recent celeb conquests have included long-term relationships with Elisabetta Canalis and Stacy Kiebler.

Like with the public, the former forever bachelor has always been open with his family about his aversion to walking down the aisle again after his four-year marriage to actress Talia Balsam ended in 1993.

“I don’t know what split them up, but he said he wasn’t good at marriage,” said his aunt. “He was a struggling actor at the time, so maybe that contributed to it. He didn’t want to invest in it anymore.”
