Arguments are certainly not uncommon within a marriage, and George Clooney has made a surprising revelation regarding such in his 10-year marriage to wife Amal.
The actor, 63, tied the knot with international human rights lawyer Amal, 47, in September 2014, and welcomed twins Alexander and Ella in June 2017.
While promoting his Broadway debut with Good Night, and Good Luck in an interview with The New York Times earlier this year, Clooney touched on his family life and meeting Amal in 2013.

"I wasn't really in the market for being a dad. Then I met Amal and we fell in love," he said. "I have to say that, after that, everything made sense."
Clooney seemingly didn't rate his chances when he first met his now-wife, having assumed the age gap between the pair would mean Amal wouldn't be interested.
Speaking of that first interaction, he explained: "I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ Then I didn’t really think I’d have much of a chance with her because I was 17 years older and she seemed to have everything she needed."

And during a recent appearance on CBS Mornings, Clooney discussed his marriage and how he and Amal never have any falling outs.
"I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we’d never had an argument," the Gravity star said, referencing a previous interview.
"We still haven’t. We’re trying to find something to fight about."

Host Gayle King added: "I remember when you said you'd never get married and never have kids. Now you're married and you have two children."
"Look what happened to me," Clooney joked, before adding: "I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman. And I feel as if I hit the jackpot.
"There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world. So it’s great."
Elsewhere in the discussion on CBS Mornings, Clooney responded to Donald Trump's comments that he's a 'fake movie actor'.

The Hollywood star told King: "I don’t care. I’ve known Donald Trump for a long time. My job is not to please the president of the United States. My job is to try and tell the truth when I can and when I have the opportunity. I am well aware of the idea that people will not like that.
"People will criticise that. Elon Musk has weighed in [about me]. That is their right. It’s my right to say the other side."
Trump previously posted on Truth Social: "So now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act.

"He’s turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are."
