VENICE, Italy — George Clooney and human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin were married Saturday in a private ceremony in Venice, the actor’s representative said.
Clooney’s longtime representative Stan Rosenfield announced the news in a single sentence. It’s expected to be the only communication on the much-anticipated marriage of the actor who long reigned as Hollywood’s most-eligible bachelor.
Clooney and friends had coolly sipped champagne before gliding up the majestic Grand Canal on Saturday evening, waving to well-wishers on shore and a flotilla of photographers chasing a glimpse of what were his final public moments of bachelorhood.
Clooney, 53, had long vowed he would never marry again after his 1989-93 marriage to Talia Balsam. He dated a series of models and actresses that made his love life tabloid fodder, until meeting Alamuddin, 36. They were engaged in April. The Associated Press
