Who is the woman that has Hollywood's most eligible bachelor smitten?
April 28, 2014 — -- George Clooney has yet to speak publicly amid the rumors he's engaged to girlfriend Amal Alamuddin. Regardless, everyone is wondering who this woman is that could possibly have locked down one of the most eligible Hollywood bachelors.
While Clooney's rep added that he doesn't comment on his client's personal life, what is certain is Alamuddin is unlike anyone the actor has dated before.
Since their first outing together in London last October, followed by a private White House screening of one of his latest movies, there's been no denying that Clooney, 52, is smitten with Alamuddin, 36.
She's met some of his celebrity friends like Emily Blunt and John Krasinski and taken a trip to Tanzania with Clooney earlier this year, according to People.

This exotic beauty is Oxford-educated (St. Hugh's College) and fluent in French and Arabic, her profile states.
Alamuddin "is the co-editor (with David Tolbert and Nidal Jurdi) of a book entitled "The Law and Practice of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon." She is also the author of several book chapters and articles on international criminal law published by Oxford University Press," her profile states.
