Hollywood actor George Clooney and Lebanese-British barrister Amal Clooney just reached a huge milestone in their relationship.
The Academy Award-winning actor George and the barrister Amal celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary on September 27, 2023. To celebrate the occasion, the couple chose to celebrate with a low-key evening party at home and a gift exchange. When picking out a present for his wife, George decided to go the traditional route. Amal, on the other hand, bought her husband something more unconventional. As it turns out, neither of them was particularly excited with the present they received!
While speaking to Extra at the Clooney Foundation for Justice’s Albie Awards on September 28, 2023, George revealed what he gave his wife. “What is the gift? What is it you found out? It was clay,” The Descendants actor said. According to long-standing conventions, a willow or pottery are the typical items couples are supposed to buy when they hit the nine-year mark. “It wasn’t an exciting one,” Amal admitted. George clarified his choice. “Pottery for a ninth anniversary, so I gave her a pot,” he stated.
Amal still maintained her previous opinion, calling the gift, “something not very exciting.” She also joked that the two of them will have to wait another 16 years until the traditional anniversary gift is anything impressive.
In another interview with Access, George shared the gift that his wife Amal gave to him in return. Like Amal, George wasn’t very satisfied with the present. “She got me a robe that said ‘Hubby’ on it,” he said, jokingly. “It was almost too much.” Amal laughed and added that she didn’t think her gift would “become public knowledge.” She also noted that the two of them had “a pajama anniversary,” which explained her choice. George continued to lightly make fun of the clothing item. “It’s the end of everything, really: wearing a silk robe with ‘Hubby’ on it.” When the interviewer said she needed visuals, George laughed, “No, honestly.
