George Clooney is a man still besotted with his wife, Amal Clooney, ten years after they tied the knot.
The Clooneys were seen in Lake Como, Italy with friends this week as they planned an upcoming ultra-private fundraiser for their Foundation for Justice, and George couldn't keep his eyes off Amal.

As she exited the motorboat George kept a close arm on his wife, helping her to keep her balance on the dock, and she quickly wrapped her arm into George's elbow.

"Many of the causes we take on, it can be years before we see a clear path to justice," their website reads. "CFJ continues to work on issues that have long faded from the headlines.

In 2022 they held the inaugural Albie Awards which "shine a protective spotlight on brave individuals and groups from around the globe who, at great personal risk, have devoted their lives to fighting for justice".
Emily Blunt, Donnatella Versace and Charlotte Tilbury were among guests in 2024.

In 2024 Valentina De Santis assumed the role of owner and CEO, making her the first woman in charge of the famous properties in 100 years.
