George Clooney
For years, George Clooney was adamant about a second marriage. He was married from 1989 until 1993 to actress Talia Balsam and, even though he really cared about her, he wasn’t a great husband. “I don’t expect to ever get married again or have children,” he told the British newspaper Sunday People. “I am never at home and every woman gets sick of it. If I was them, I would never put up with me for long, and they don’t.”
Then in 2014, following a long line of high profile relationships (arguably with women who thought they could change his mind), Clooney found love with an attorney. At the 2015 Golden Globe Awards, he shocked everyone when he gushed about his new wife Amal Alamuddin. “I couldn’t be more proud to be called your husband,” he said as he accepted the Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award.
