George Clooney’s Message to All the Women in the World: Now Single and Ready to Mingle
George Clooney is now single. He and Italian actress/model Elisabetta Canalis have separated after two years together. "We are not together anymore," the duo tells Us Weekly in a joint statement. "It's very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy."
The couple seemed well recently, spent a lot of time together, often with their families, at Clooney's Lake Como estate in Italy, recently.
"I am very happy at the moment - thanks to my man and my fairytale is continuing," Canalis, 32, told Italian magazine Chi in its June issue. "We are a couple that never gets bored."
But Clooney admitted in January that he wouldn't wed again. "I was married," he quipped on Piers Morgan Tonight. "I gave it a shot." Clooney and actress Talia Balsam were married from 1989 to 1993.
Yet Canalis seemed to be looking to walk down the aisle someday. "I am a firm believer in marriage," she told Chi. "In the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am," she says. "I don't need anything to confirm how happy I am." "[George] reassures me all the time," Canalis said in a late 2010 chat with Italian Vanity Fair. "I feel more embraced than ever before. The idea of being so loved is overwhelming...George has given color back to my life.”
