George Clooney and Amal are the proud parents of eight-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.
The A-list couple mostly keep details about their family firmly under wraps in order to protect their children's privacy, but there has been the occasional insight shared by George and Amal about their life as a family of four over the years.
The human rights barrister and law lecturer, who married the Ocean's 11 actor in Venice in 2014, revealed that George had a "careful" tactic when it came to their twins learning to talk.

In an interview with British Vogue in 2018, which was published when the fraternal twins were coming up for their first birthday, Amal shared an adorable anecdote about Alexander and Ella beginning to say their first words.
"We've had some 'Mamas' and 'Dadas,'" the mother-of-two told the publication, adding: "George was very careful to ensure that 'Mama' was the first word."

While the answer is up for question, some suggest that 'Dada' is the most common first word for babies as it's easier to pronounce the 'D' sound over an 'M' sound.

The fact that George was so insistent that the twins say 'Mama' first is an adorable indication of how much he values his wife and puts her first.
The Clooneys' bond with their growing children
Now that the kids are older, it seems they've developed their own personalities. In an interview with the New York Times, George told the delightful story about the type of music his son and daughter listen to.
"We're riding in the car to school and I make them listen to heavy metal because I just like it when they sing," the Good Night, and Good Luck actor explained.

At the recent Tony Awards, George spoke to E! News on the red carpet and explained that his kids would love to meet Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift in real life.

He joked: "The funniest part is that they have no idea of references. Robert De Niro will be at the house, and they're like, 'Who's that?' They don't care."
