George Clooney is engaged! The king of bachelors has found his future Mrs. Clooney in Amal Alamuddin, his lawyer girlfriend. So who is Amal Alamuddin? We have everything you need to know about George Clooney's new girlfriend!

Oscar winner George Clooney, 52, is engaged to British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36, whom he began dating last fall. George Clooney and his girlfriend have been spotted together in London, New York, Tanzania and the Seychelles, USA Today reports.

Alamuddin was rocking a diamond ring on her left ring finger when the two met Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber for dinner Thursday in Malibu, California.

Who is Amal Alamuddin? Here is a cheat sheet to George Clooney's new girlfriend and future wife!

1. Alamuddin was born in Beirut, Lebanon.

2. George Clooney's girlfriend studied at Oxford and NYU.

3. She is fluent in three languages: English, Arabic, and French.

4. Alamuddin has represented impressive people like Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

5. She is legal advisor to the King of Bahrain.

6. Before deleting her Twitter page, she had nearly 1,800 followers including Ashton Kutcher and Julia Gillard, the former prime minister of Australia.

7. Alamuddin is 16 years younger than George Clooney.

A source with knowledge of the situation confirms Clooney popped the question and told People magazine: "George and Amal are trying to keep things very low-key but they also aren't really trying to hide this, it doesn't seem. I think it's like they want the people they love to know that this is real, that they plan on being together forever."

The engagement happened "not that long ago, I think," the source added.

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."

Looks like his views have changed!
