Amal actually met George's parents, Nick and Nina, prior to even meeting George himself. She made such an impression that Nick was sure that the two would wind up together one day. In this case, father certainly did know best.

George and Amal finally officially met in 2013 at a dinner party. The two hit it off immediately, beginning a fairytale romance that was the envy of many. Five years after the initial meeting and the pair is married and raising twins.

Although the couple leads a public life when it comes to raising awareness and money for causes dear to their heart, they lead a private life when it comes to family matters.

This commitment to privacy is why Amal's latest speech was so touching to their fans. George was recently honored at the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award Gala for his lifetime contributions to the industry.
