New details about George Clooney and his fiancee Amal Alamuddin are here! Check out a photo of Amal Alamuddin's huge engagement ring, and all the details on how George Clooney proposed to his girlfriend and fiancee Amal Alamuddin!

People Magazine reports that friends and relatives of George Clooney told People all the engagement and proposal details.

George Clooney got down "on bended knee" to propose the old-fashioned way on April 22 in London. He presented girlfriend Amal Alamuddin with "an ethically mined emerald-cut diamond estimated at 7-plus carats and two tapered baguettes set in platinum."

Clooney is a traditionalist: he made sure to meet Amal's family before he popped the question. According to People Magazine, Clooney "visited Dubai in March to meet his Lebanese-born, Oxford-educated leading lady's family, spending time on a yacht excursion with her siblings, says a relative of Alamuddin's."

"They found George very easy to get along with, cool," the family member told the publication. "They felt at ease with him immediately."

According to People, the "Gravity" actor helped design the engagement ring too!

Clooney's father, Nick Clooney, told E! News he was "very pleased" with the news of their engagement.

The news comes just after seven months of dating for George and Amal. Amal had reportedly turned Clooney down for a first date two times before saying yes! We bet she's glad she gave in eventually.
