George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, walked the carpet in style on Thursday at the 2nd annual Albie Awards in New York City, organized through the Clooney Foundation for Justice.

“She inspires me in everything she does,” George shared with ET’s Rachel Smith while smiling sweetly at his lovely wife. “And by the way, yesterday was our 9th anniversary!”
“Said it wouldn’t last, you know what I’m saying?” George added sarcastically, Joking with Rachel, “In fact, you literally said that! She said it.
George also asked his brilliant wife, “Do you feel like a power couple, my love?” to which she humbly replied, “Not really.”
On a serious note, Amal explained that the anniversary felt particularly special by getting to celebrate it while also honoring those who have dedicated and risked their lives for justice across the globe.
“Well, we’re really happy. This is our second Albies,” the human rights attorney shared with a smile. “We hope to do it every year and it’s really an honor to be able to put on a stage tonight five amazing people. Many of whom we worked with in Ukraine and Congo and Syria, and places that still, you know, sometimes seem to be forgotten.”
