Amal Clooney Praises George Clooney For Being A Reliable Husband And Father

The alleged-upfront interview with Ms. Clooney about the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Clooney did stir up a slew of comments online. The interview features the human rights lawyer, who declared that she “cannot rely on Mr. Clooney as a husband, and equally as a father of the twins.” An Instagram post by Oprah Daily painted a much more elegant picture: Clooneys hand in hand greying up a formal event, the power duo donned in tailored suits and gowns.

The caption accompanying the post was heartwarming; the comment section, on the other hand, broke out into a modern-love debate. One user thought nobody was holding back when she asked, “What’s so special? Shouldn’t a strong woman expect that from their spouse?” The responses kept coming, including one who stated, “I swear the bar has been set so low for men. Imagine if this post had been said about a woman 😂 ‘George Clooney can count on Amal Clooney as a wife and a mother’ 🥴.”

The opinion in the comment about men being praised for doing the bare minimum did not go unheard. Another comment read, “Men doing the bare minimum makes headlines 😂” while others added, “The bar has been set so low, sadly.” An excellent point there-why is it newsworthy that a man is dependable in his own household?

Not all were cynical, some took the couples to their defense. One said, “Literally thee perfect couple. And he wasn’t intimidated by her being an attorney. Rare. Her own career and life. ❤️🔥,” while another complimented their appearance, “Gorgeous, classy couple George & Amal Clooney.”

The Clooneys have ever been a source of intrigue in Hollywood, partly because they don’t fit into the usual celebrity relationship clichés. Once flaunted as Hollywood’s Most Eligible Bachelor, George finally settled down quite late in life with a powerhouse attorney who had no need to sacrifice her career on his. Their relationship has been billed as equal, making the reaction to this interview all the more curious.

Is it really that groundbreaking to be a present husband and father? Or could it be the fact that people are still surprised by it that indicates just how far we still have to go? Either way, the Clooneys are among the few couples who are able to raise the mundane aspects of most partnerships to enviable levels, but whether that is a good thing depends on whom you ask.

As for the Internet, antimatter thus becomes opinions. Some scoff at past accolades, one goes gooey about romance, and another weighs in on their weight (“Too thin, both of them.”). So one thing for sure: this is one thing Amal and George indeed are neither losing a wink of sleep over.
