Has George Clooney finally met his match?
The parents of Hollywood’s most resolute bachelor are urging George to wed his new girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, say sources close to the perennial bachelor.
Clooney swore he’d never marry again after his three-year marriage to actress Talia Balsam collapsed in 1993 – but Elisabetta has made him reconsider, say his pals.
George, 48, and Elisabetta, a 31-year-old actress/model, have been inseparable since meeting in Italy earlier this year. Elisabetta, who is from Sardinia, has been staying at George’s 15-room Italian villa on Lake Como, and the two have been traveling the globe together, spending time in London, New York, Rome, Mexico and Los Angeles.
George’s parents and friends have all given Elisabetta the thumbs up.
"They are a perfect match," said a friend of the couple. "They are both actors, and they both love sports. They love long motorcycle rides, and they love going out on George’s boat.
"They also like to share romantic dinners, good wine and lots of laughs. And George loves that Elisabetta, whose mother teaches Italian literature, and whose father is a doctor, likes to read and to talk politics."
George’s parents, Nick and Nina Clooney, think Elisabetta would make a great wife for their son – and they’ve been encouraging him to propose.
"Nina told George she would be delighted to have Elisabetta as a daughter-in-law," said the source.
"She and Nick would love for George to get married again and give them grandchildren, and she hopes George will pop the question."
