George Clooney and Wife Amal's Twins, Alexander and Ella, 8, Spotted in Rare Sighting on Lake Como – Photos

George and Amal Clooney recently made a rare public appearance with their twins, Ella and Alexander, during a family outing on Italy's Lake Como.
The couple, accompanied by friends including actor Adam Sandler, were seen departing Villa Oleandra, the Clooneys' 18th-century waterfront estate, by motorboat.
The group made their way to the nearby Villa d'Este, a luxury hotel and restaurant on the lake. A now-deleted Instagram post of the outing offered a glimpse of the couple's private family life, rarely seen despite their high-profile status.
George, 64, and Amal, 47, share eight-year-old twins who have largely remained out of the spotlight. Their birth came as a surprise to many — and to the Clooneys themselves, as early in their relationship, children were not part of the plan.
"We didn't plan on it. We never talked about it until after we were married, which is funny," George previously said. "There was an assumption that we didn't want them. And then, after the wedding, Amal and I were talking and we just felt we'd gotten very lucky, both of us, and we should share whatever good luck we've got."
The couple learned they were expecting during a visit to a doctor in London. The news of twins came as a shock. George recalled the moment clearly — the doctor first pointed out one baby, then quickly revealed the second. "I was like, 'What?'" he said.

Ella and Alexander arrived a month early, born on June 6 at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Alexander weighed five and a half pounds; Ella followed one minute and 49 seconds later at four and a half pounds. The actor, then 56, became a father for the first time.
George described the experience as surreal, explaining that becoming a parent didn't fully sink in until it actually happened. He said, everything felt abstract until the moment he realized he was truly a father.
Over the years, the Clooneys have undergone a quiet yet remarkable transformation — from red carpet icons to devoted parents enjoying a more private life.
The following photos trace that journey, starting with George and Amal's evolution, and ending with a rare glimpse of their twins, Ella and Alexander:
