They’re here! Hollywood actor George Clooney and his human rights lawyer wife Amal have welcomed their twins.
Bambinos Ella and Alexander Clooney arrived on Tuesday, five months after the glamorous power couple first went public with news of the pregnancy. “This morning Amal and George welcomed Ella and Alexander Clooney into their lives,” Clooney’s publicist said in a statement.
“Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine. George is sedated and should recover in a few days.”

“I was working with him last fall, and he pulled me aside on set, and I mean, I almost started crying. I was so happy for him. And I was like, ‘How far along is she?’ and he goes, ‘eight weeks,'” Damon tells ET.
The father-of-four says he warned Clooney, 55, to keep the news secret for a while longer.
“‘Are you out of your mind?! Don’t tell anybody else! Don’t you know the 12-week rule?'” Damon says he told the first-time father-to-be. “Like, of course he doesn’t. ‘Just shut up, man.'”
He says Clooney told him a month later that “we’re good”, joking that the actor “had it coming”.
“I had them one at a time you know and that was plenty,” says Damon.
“Look, the two of them, they’re just great people and they’re going to be great parents. It’s going to be a huge challenge, I mean, one baby cries, wakes the other up. It’s going to be on in that household (but) he doesn’t sleep a lot anyway. He’ll be alright. I’m serious, he’s got a hell of a work ethic.
“I’m thrilled for him. She’s amazing. He hit the jackpot, just on every level. She is a remarkable woman. They’re going to be awesome parents. Those kids are lucky.”
Clooney and 39-year-old Amal, who married back in September 2014, aren’t the only celeb power couple getting ready to welcome twins. Beyonce and rapper husband Jay Z are also expecting a baby duo in coming months.
We wish them all the best and we’ll keep you posted on their pregnancies!
