Miss Alamuddin is a lawyer who specialises in international law and human rights.

She is a graduate of the New York University School of Law and in 2011 she started representing WikiLeaks founder Assange in his fight against extradition to Sweden.

She schooled at Oxford and NYU School of Lawand is fluent in French and Arabic and co-wrote a book entitled, "The Law and Practice of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon."

She also has been appointed to numerous U.N. commissions and is an advisor to former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Syria.

She is also the author of several book chapters and articles on international criminal law.

Last year she topped the 21 Hottest Baristers in London list for women, created by Yourbarristerboyfriend.tumblr.com.

Her entry on the site begins: ‘Amo, Amas, Amal. These are three short words that come to mind when thinking about this dazzling beauty.’

Besides dating George, Alamuddin has nothing to do with showbiz.

But that doesn't mean she has no followers. Before deleting her Twitter page, she had nearly 1,800 followers including Ashton Kutcher and Julia Gillard, the former prime minister of Australia.

The pair - who were first linked after a dinner date in October - have been getting serious in recent months and were most recently seen at a special screening of George's new movie at the White House in February. 

Clooney has dated a string of stunning women over the years from British model Lisa Snowdon to Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis and former pro-wrestler Stacy Keibler.

But when asked in a recent interview who is or was the greatest love of his life, the Gravity star replied: ‘I haven’t met her yet.’

Clooney's recent ex Stacy Keibler was a professional wrestler, actress and model.
 
He was also married to "Touched by an Angel" star Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993.
