THE CLOONEYS' ITALIAN IDYLL

NOT for them the proverbial seven-year itch. In fact, if these recent photographs of the Clooneys are anything to go by, life is as blissful and brilliant as you can imagine for two of the world’s brainiest and most beautiful people.

Ahead of their upcoming seventh anniversary, George and Amal Clooney jetted off to their Italian pad with four-year-old twins Ella and Alexander in tow.

The actor and his hotshot lawyer wife are highly protective of their privacy, so it was indeed a rare sighting when they were all snapped heading out on Lake Como in Italy recently.

Amal (43), as always, oozed elegance and George (60) was as stylish as ever as they helped their kids off the boat and headed to a nearby restaurant.

The family reportedly arrived at their 18th century home, Villa Oleandra, ahead of the twins’ fourth birthday on 6 June. It was the first time they’d been there in two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“They brought along their giant St Bernard puppy, Rosie,” a source told E! Online. “And will be spending as much of the summer as they can there.”

BEING snapped out and about in Italy meant seeing Amal and George for the first time in ages and their appearance for a dinner in July sent fans into a frenzy.

Amal wore a ruched white dress that caused speculation about whether she was sporting a baby bump or if it was just a trick of the eye. Could we be looking forward to another genetically blessed baby, many wondered for days before a representative for the couple dashed all hopes.
