Amal Clooney, the international human rights lawyer and mother of two, maintains a focused diet and fitness routine that accommodates her busy schedule. Her day reportedly begins with Miyeokguk, a traditional Korean seaweed soup, as breakfast.
For lunch, Clooney relies on lean protein. Her chef prepares meals that have included salads, spaghetti with turkey meatballs, and chicken breast with lemon sauce. While she prioritizes healthy lunches, family pizza nights are a weekly occurrence, with her favorite being a margherita accompanied by a rocket salad.
George Clooney has previously spoken about their reliance on their private chef, Viviana Frizzi, who has worked for the family since 2013. He noted that Frizzi's culinary skills, including handmade gnocchi, make dining at home more appealing than going out, especially with young children. "She can make anything, including handmade gnocchi with pesto that would make you cry," George Clooney said of their chef.
In terms of fitness, Amal Clooney is an avid tennis player, reportedly besting her husband, who has a background in sports and has won tennis tournaments. George Clooney has commented on his wife's athletic ability, stating, "Amal is a really good athlete. When I was younger, I won some tennis tournaments. I played a lot of sports – I still play a lot of sports, and I can actually play [well]. And Amal just beats the hell out of me."
Additional fitness activities attributed to Clooney include an hour of walking daily, 20 minutes of weight lifting, and Pilates.
Clooney has also spoken about the challenges of navigating public attention following her marriage to George Clooney. She noted a shift in her personal and professional lives after becoming a public figure. Initially, she felt conscious of her public image potentially influencing her professional perception, worrying about being viewed one-dimensionally. However, she stated her refusal to let public scrutiny dictate her choices or impede her ability to live her life and pursue important matters for her family and relationships.
"Ultimately if you're good at what you do, that is going to shine through or not," she remarked regarding maintaining her professional credibility amidst public attention. She also acknowledged that managing the level of exposure was a new experience to navigate.
