‘Being a father at 56 will change a lot of things’ – Hollywood star George Clooney

For the first time since news broke that George and Amal Clooney, are having twins, the 55-year-old actor has finally broken his silence.

In an interview on French TV show “Rencontres de Cinema, Clooney said; ‘We are really happy and really excited. It’s going to be an adventure. We’ve sort of embraced it all with arms wide open.”

Clooney said his friends can’t help but tease him about becoming a dad later in life.

In his words, ‘my favorite part is, you know, all my friends who are my age, and I have many of them, they’re already done. Their kids are all grown up and away to college and they are laughing. We went out to dinner the other night, and it’s a table of eight guys and all their kids are away in college, and we are sitting there and they were all being very supportive, ‘Everything is going to be great, you’re going to love it,'”

He continued to say, ‘then it got really quiet, and they all just started making baby crying and the whole table just busted up laughing. So I’m feeling a bit better about being 56 by the time we have them. It’s going to change a lot of things but that’s OK, that’s life”.

 

Husband Divorces Wife for Joining Different Political Party

A 44-year-old man, Iliasu Salami, on Thursday in Iseyin, Oyo State, lost his five-year-old marriage to irreconcilable political differences between him and his estranged wife, Rashidat.

Rashidat’s refusal to show up in court after several summonses and the evidences tendered by the husband on the political differences between them are enough to show that no love is lost between the couple, the President of a customary court, Chief Adelodun Oyegbenle, said.

“It is unfortunate that the defendant (Rashidat) did not attend any of the court proceedings despite court summonses.

“This court hereby dissolve the five-year-old union,” he ruled, and ordered Salami to pay N10,000 monthly upkeep allowance for the two children of the failed marriage.

Salami had approached the Iseyin Customary Court, seeking the dissolution of the marriage over allegations of disobedience and insubordination.

He told the court that his wife had no regard for him, adding that his opinions did not count in their affairs.

He said his wife joined a different political party against his instruction and wish. Salami, however, did not state his or ex-wife’s party.

“All efforts to resolve the issue by both families failed,” Salami said, and pleaded with the court to terminate the marriage.
