One other reason Amal got her name (which means Hope) is the period of her birth. As she was born during Lebanon’s civil war, her birth was hope for her parents that future is bright.

9. Tabloid drama
Upon their engagement, tabloids tried to cause a drama in the family, reporting how Amal’s mother was against the marriage due to the religious differences. This was all false and George Clooney was very happy with the tabloid’s story. He called them “the worst kind of tabloid. One that makes up its facts to the detriment of its readers,” and refused their apology.
10. She is a mother of twins
In June 2017, Amal gave birth to twins Ella and son Alexander. Having one child is exhausting, having two is super exhausting, but being a mother of twins, and with it, a successful woman and wife, is worthy of admiring.
