LOS ANGELES— Amal Clooney gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, on Tuesday, her husband George Clooney’s publicist said, the first children for the international human rights lawyer and her movie star spouse.
Amal Clooney and the Oscar-winning star of films like “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Three Kings” married in Italy in 2014, making them one of the world’s biggest celebrity couples.
“This morning Amal and George welcomed Ella and Alexander Clooney into their lives. Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine,” publicist Stan Rosenfield said in an email.
He added cheekily, “George is sedated and should recover in a few days.”
Rosenfield did not say where the twins were born but the couple appear to have been spending much of their time recently in England, where they have one of several homes.
People magazine reported on Tuesday that former U.S. President Barack Obama visited the Clooneys at their home in the countryside west of London on May 27.
Amal Clooney, 39, and George Clooney, 56, adopted a low profile during her pregnancy, keeping the news private for months before it was confirmed in February by the actor’s close friend, Matt Damon.
