Clooney Celebrates Engagement With Celebrity Friends

Actor George Clooney celebrated his engagement to his lawyer girlfriend Amal Alamuddin by partying with friends Bono and Cindy Crafword on Sunday, May 11.

The Hollywood heartthrob popped the question to Brit Alamuddin in April 2014 and they have reportedly marked the upcoming nuptials by joining celebrity friends for dinner at supermodel Cindy’s restaurant in Malibu, California.

Cindy and her husband Rande Gerber were spotted arriving at Mexican eaterie Café Habana with flowers, while U2 frontman Bono tried to keep his arrival under wraps by sporting a hat and a pair of sunglasses.

A source told E! News, “People got a show they didn’t expect and other (patrons) said it was the best Mother’s Day ever.”

The couple dressed casually for the celebration, but all eyes were on Amal’s seven-carat diamond and platinum engagement ring. It’s reported worth is around $720,000 (£450,000).

Clooney and his fiancé met at a fundraising event in 2013.

The Daily Mirror reported back then that George sent a flirty message to the lawyer after meeting her at a charity event, where she actually refused to take his number.

He reportedly sent her an email joking that the ‘reported hottest man in the world should meet with the hottest human rights lawyer in the world,’ as the lawyer was voted the ‘hottest barrister in London.’

Although she found the email to be very amusing very amusing, she still made the bachelor wait a few days for a reply, as their friend told the paper.
