These are the first children for both George and Amal, but the high-powered couple have no shortage of fans, and plenty of well-wishers for their new adventure as first-time parents. The Clooneys, who dated for about a year before they married, tied the knot in 2014 at a wedding [in Venice](http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/george-clooney-and-amal-alamuddins-wedding-photos). During the last year, Amal has maintained her position as a public [advocate for human rights](http://time.com/4499106/amal-clooney-isis-war-crimes/?iid=sr-link1) and a consistent [anti-genocide](http://time.com/3687958/amal-clooney-turkey-armenian-genocide/?iid=sr-link6) champion, while Oscar winner Clooney kept up his role as a [public figure](http://time.com/4678775/clooney-trump-bannon-hollywood/) and [spirits entrepreneur](http://time.com/4716549/george-clooney-amal-baby-names/). But the world got wind that the [births were imminent](http://time.com/4797707/george-clooney-twins-due-date/) when he declined attending a humanitarian awards event, choosing instead to stick close to home in preparation for the twins’ arrival.
