George And Amal Clooney Celebrate A Decade Of Argument-Free Marriage

The couple shares insights on their harmonious relationship and family life in a recent interview.

In a world where celebrity relationships often crumble under the weight of public scrutiny and personal pressures, George and Amal Clooney stand out as a beacon of marital bliss. Recently, during an appearance on CBS Mornings, George Clooney reiterated a remarkable claim he and his wife have made since they first got together: they have never had an argument since their marriage in 2014.

"We still haven’t," Clooney told host Gayle King on April 21, 2025, adding with a laugh, "We’re trying to find something to fight about!" This lighthearted admission reflects the couple's unique dynamic, which has intrigued fans and friends alike for over a decade.

The Clooneys first crossed paths in 2013, and by September 2014, they had tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy. Their relationship has been characterized by mutual admiration and respect, with George often expressing his gratitude for having met Amal, a celebrated human rights attorney. "I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman, and I feel as if I hit the jackpot," he shared during the interview. "There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world."

Now, nearly a decade into their marriage, the couple is raising their seven-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, in New York City. George described their children as "really curious and funny," and noted that they make him laugh daily. "Every parent thinks their kids are great. Our kids are funny and make us laugh," he said, highlighting the joy of parenthood.

Despite their busy careers—George currently stars in the Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck and Amal recently took on an academic role at Columbia University—the couple manages to balance their professional and family lives. A source close to the Clooneys mentioned that they are "loving being in NYC" and have made time to reconnect with friends and explore the city together.

Amal's commitment to her career does not go unnoticed by George. He expressed appreciation for her dedication, noting that she even skipped the opening night of his Broadway show to stay home with their children. "It’s great that we can support each other in our careers while also being there for our kids," he remarked.

Interestingly, the Clooneys' claim of never having an argument has raised eyebrows among their friends. Amal herself has commented on the incredulity surrounding their harmonious relationship, saying, "It’s maddening to some of our friends. 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.”

While some might find it hard to believe that a couple can go over ten years without a disagreement, relationship therapists suggest that arguments can actually enrich relationships by teaching conflict resolution. JaQuinda Jackson, a licensed therapist, previously stated, "Disagreements will happen; how you respond is what makes the disagreement healthy or not healthy."

However, George and Amal seem to have found a way to navigate their differences without conflict. George attributes part of their success to the timing of their relationship. Having married later in life—he was 53 and she was 36—allowed them to approach marriage with a mature perspective. "I think because I started so late with Amal, it helped make me the perfect partner for her," he explained.

As George continues to shine on stage, he also shared a humorous anecdote about his recent decision to dye his hair for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck. "I know it’s not good," he joked, referring to his new dark locks, which have become a source of laughter for his children. "Nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dyeing your hair," he quipped, showcasing the light-hearted atmosphere in their home.

In a Hollywood landscape often dominated by dramatic breakups and scandals, the Clooneys' relationship offers a refreshing counter-narrative. They have cultivated a love story that is not only enduring but also filled with laughter, respect, and unwavering support for one another. As they continue to navigate their busy lives in New York City, it’s clear that the Clooneys are committed to each other and their family, proving that sometimes, the most extraordinary love stories are the ones that unfold quietly, away from the spotlight.

As George Clooney put it, "Amal and I are having a really great time in life." With their shared values and commitment to each other and their family, the Clooneys exemplify what it means to build a lasting partnership.
