"I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do. So I don't feel like I have to apologize for it or rein it in," she said. "And I remember when I became a mom, which was obviously a new frontier, (George) was the first one to say, 'I know you've got this speech at the Security Council. You have to go; I've got the kids, don't worry about it.'" The Clooneys share 8-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, born nearly three years after they were married in September 2014. Amal has spoken to the United Nations Security Council on multiple occasions, including about war crimes in Ukraine. "I feel so incredibly lucky to share every day with him. And now we're four. And I don't take any of it for granted," she added. "I treasure the laughter and the joy that I get from just being with them." The interview was published a week after she and George attended Buckingham Palace for the 2025 King's Trust Awards on June 25. The couple met with King Charles and young people recognized for inspiring work in their communities.

"Creating private moments and spaces is becoming increasingly difficult. But that's also why we entertain a lot at home," she told Glamour, adding that she uses "a phone basket" to collect guests' cell phones. She continued, "It's important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange." Clooney also alluded to "intrusions" that threaten her family's privacy. "I would say becoming a parent means you're more troubled by some of the intrusions. So we do the best we can to minimize any impact on our children," she said. "We don't put our children out there; we've never put their photo out there or anything like that."
