Like any new parent, George “is excited but nervous,”
according to a source close to the couple’s
circle. “It’s going to be an adventure. We’ve sort of
embraced it all . . . with arms wide open,” he told
the French program Rencontres de Cinéma in February.
As the big day approached, the two stayed
close to their countryside home west of London
and were spotted strolling hand-in-hand along the
riverbank nearby. They entertained family and
friends—including Cindy Crawford and Rande
Gerber (who flew in last month as a surprise for
George’s 56th birthday) and former U.S. President
Barack Obama—at their newly renovated $12 million
Georgian mansion. Boasting a pool, theater,
tennis court and sprawling front lawn (neighbors
might catch George atop his giant lawn mower, a
gift from Amal for his 55th birthday), the estate is
just one spot the twins can call home. (The Clooneys
also have residences in L.A., Mexico and Lake
Como, Italy.)
But while Ella and Alexander’s passports will
no doubt be full, their lives will be even fuller. “I’ve
been telling George since he was 30 that I thought
he would be a great parent,” says Nick Clooney.
“This change is more profound than any change in
his life, and he is excited.” Baria Alamuddin is still
moved by the “indescribable joy” she witnessed after
the twins were born (not to mention her amusement
at witnessing George in blue scrubs “similar
to the ones he wore in ER”). “Seeing these two angels,
these stunningly beautiful babies . . . cuddled
together, and seeing the joy on Amal and George’s
faces, it’s one of those deeply felt beautiful feelings
you can’t express in words,” she says. ”These babies
are going to add so much joy to their lives.”
