Following the termination of his first marriage to actress Talia Balsam, award-winning actor George Clooney rose to prominence as one of the world’s most renowned bachelors.
After being single again, he told reporter Barbara Walters in a 1995 interview that he would never marry again because his previous marriage “failed.”

George and Balsam married in 1989 and divorced in 1993 after four years. Previously, the Hollywood heartthrob kept his love life private and repeatedly denied rumours tying him to Croatian model Monika Jaksic and actress Katie Holmes.
Many of his co-stars had settled down at the time, but he did not. Despite pledging never to marry again, the two-time Academy Award winner’s plans changed when he met his now-wife, Amal Clooney.
