“George is beside himself. Pals said he is pleading with Amal to come home!” dished an insider. “He wanted them to enjoy the new property together, but after an explosive argument she ran off there with Alexander and Ella. She’s told him if he comes, he’ll have to stay in the guest house!"
The source added, “He does not want the marriage to end. He loves Amal, and he loves their children. This is excruciating!”

The Clooneys had just completed an all-cash $350,000 deal to acquire the two-villa plot, which was made through a trust to keep the sale hush-hush.
But an ENQUIRER mole spilled: “The villas are located in an ultra-luxury complex. It’s the kind of place where their neighbors are billionaires, very secluded. Everything is the finest in all of Italy. They will be in very good company.”

A broker involved with the deal said he had signed a nondisclosure agreement and wasn’t able to reveal the buyer. But off the record he laughingly bragged that “Mr. Clooney” liked the house very much!
A source who visited the property described how it was “perfect” for George, as it has its own helipad and is located close to a landing strip, the local marina and a golf course.

In an ominous hint at their troubles, the pair failed to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary together in September.
“People already thought it was weird they didn’t spend their anniversary together, and it definitely raised eyebrows when Amal missed a big party for George’s Casamigos tequila brand, while [business partner] Rande Gerber’s wife, Cindy Crawford, was there,” tattled a spy. “There was talk that a divorce could already be underway.”

He will do whatever it takes to make her happy!" the insider revealed. “George has reached out to her and begged, ‘Let’s get back together for the kids!’"
