Amal was born in Lebanon to a prominent family. She got her law degree from New York University and once clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. She lives in London, where she's represented Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Jennifer Peros, Sr. Reporter for US Weekly told INSIDE EDITION, "Amal and George both are huge human rights advocates. They do tons of charity work."

Her mother is a respected newspaper editor, who often appears on a cable news channel talking head on the Middle East.

Clooney's mom is gushing over her future daughter-in-law, saying, "I'm extremely happy. Amal's a lovely girl. They are both very caring people."

The future Mrs. Clooney is fluent in three languages: French, Arabic and English.

Clooney has been married once before, to Mad Men actress Talia Balsam back in the early 90's. After their breakup, Clooney swore he'd never marry again.

His gallery of exes includes Renee Zellweger, Fear Factor contestant Sarah Larson, and sultry Dancing with the Stars contestant Elisabetta Canalis. Clooney also spent two years with former pro-wrestler Stacy Keibler. He's been dating Amal Alamuddin for only six months.

Peros said, "George Clooney has been known as probably the number one playboy bachelor in Hollywood for decades. The fact now that he's met a woman so great and he's getting married so quickly is really surprising. But I guess when you find love, you find it."

The first official confirmation is coming from her law firm, which sent a company-wide email, offering "...best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin...and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married."

Beauty and brains. Apparently, Clooney found the combo irresistable.
