Award-winning American actor, George Clooney, and his human rights lawyer wife, Amal Clooney, are expecting twins, according to US media reports.
The babies are due in June, according to CBS’s The Talk host Julie Chen.
Another source close to the couple, quoted by People, said they were “very happy”. The Clooneys’ representatives have not yet commented.
The couple married in Venice in 2014 with a star-studded list of guests who included Matt Damon and Bill Murray.
Rumours that they might be expecting began to circulate last month when Mrs Clooney was spotted wearing a loose-fitting dress.
Clooney’s Ocean’s series co-star, Matt Damon, confirmed the news on Thursday and recalled the moment his friend told him.
“I was working with him last fall and he pulled me aside on set and I mean, I almost started crying. I was so happy for him,” Damon told Entertainment Tonight Canada at a junket for his upcoming film The Great Wall. “And I was like, ‘how far along is she?’ And he goes, ‘eight weeks.'”
Damon continued: “‘Are you out of your mind?! Don’t tell anybody else! Don’t tell anybody else! Don’t you know the 12-week rule?’ Like of course he doesn’t. I was like, ‘just shut up, man.’ And then four weeks later, I’m like, ‘we’re good right?’ ‘We’re good.'”
Damon has no doubt that Clooney and Amal will be nothing but “awesome parents.”
“I’m thrilled for him. She’s amazing. He hit the jackpot. Just on every level. She is a remarkable woman. They’re gonna be great. They’re gonna be awesome parents. Those kids are lucky.”
Clooney, 55, has starred in numerous Hollywood films and has won two Academy Awards.
Mrs Clooney, 39, has represented a number of high profile figures, including former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and Australian Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
