In case you're a little behind on just who Amal Alamuddin is, here's a cheat sheet to George Clooney's new wife!
1. Alamuddin was born in Beirut, Lebanon.
2. George Clooney's wife studied at Oxford and NYU.
3. She is fluent in three languages: English, Arabic, and French.

Clooney has been married once before, to actress Talia Balsam, from 1989 to 1993, but since then hasn't settled down with any one woman in particular. Clooney was known for dating a string of women every couple of years, most recently Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis (2009-2011) and former WWE personality Stacy Keibler (2011-2013), USA Today reports.
"I haven't had aspirations in that way, ever," George Clooney told Esquire of marriage in December 2013. "I was married in 1989. I wasn't very good at it."
Hopefully he'll be better at it this time around!
