After he and his wife Amal welcomed their twins Ella and Alexander on June 6th, George Clooney is the happiest he has ever been, according to his good friend Rande Gerber.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the former model (who co-founded the tequila brand Casamigos with Clooney, which has since reportedly been sold for $1 billion) revealed that the A-list couple are embracing their new roles as parents.
‘He’s so happy right now,’ Gerber said. ‘Just in life in general and having those kids, you know, it’s an incredible feeling for him.’
Gerber and his wife Cindy Crawford, who are parents to aspiring models Kaia, 15, and Presley, 17, have been on hand to provide support, advice and the odd tequila-based joke: remember the custom Casamigos onesies that the couple sent as baby shower gifts (inadvertently revealing the gender of the twins in the process...)?
Naturally, the couple were also among the first to visit the twins, flying across the Atlantic earlier this month to meet the new arrivals.
‘I did see the babies, Cindy and I went to London and went to the house and spent some time with them,’ Gerber revealed, adding that ‘the kids are the perfect mix of George and Amal. I mean, they really are so cute!’ With genes like theirs, we’re not surprised.
‘[Amal is] a natural, and she looks so beautiful,’ he continued. ‘They’re doing great. I’m happy for them.’
The couple confirmed their new arrivals with a statement to Page Six on June 6th delivered through their representative, reading that 'this morning Amal and George welcomed Ella and Alexander Clooney into their lives. Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine.'
'George is sedated and should recover in a few days,' the rep jokingly added.
