George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are engaged

A source close to the couple confirmed to people magazine that the notorious bachelor popped the question. 

‘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,’ the insider said.  ‘I think it's like they want the people they love to know that this is real, that they plan on being together forever.’

Clooney had vowed to never repeat his marital vows but it seems his new lady in his life may have changed his playboy ways.

It was reported that the actor's stunning British girlfriend, was seen showing off a ring at Nobu in Malibu, California, on Thursday.

While the couple has not even confirmed their relationship, if the report is correct, things are certainly going well.

According to reports, the 52-year-old actor and the 36-year-old humanitarian lawyer indulged in a sushi dinner with George's friends model Cindy Crawford and actor Edward Norton.

The report had it that the British beauty had something very special to show the model: 'Multiple sources confirm that they saw Amal showing off a ring to Cindy, the wife of Clooney's business partner Rande Gerber, sparking rumors of an engagement.'

When contacted by the MailOnline George's representative Stan Rosenfield did not deny the engagement rumours but instead refused to comment.

The publicist said: 'I do not comment on his personal life.'

Rosenfield did comment on his client's relationship when the Ocean's Eleven star was first tied to Amal in October, calling the pair 'just friends'.

Since then the couple have been spotted being very affectionate with each other while on safari in Tanzania.

While the actor normally has in the past dated models, cocktail waitresses and even a female wrestler, the Lebanese stunner is not just beautiful, but is also very intelligent.

After studying at St Hugh’s College, Oxford and the New York University School of Law, Amal is now an adviser to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, who is the special envoy to Syria.

Prior to dating Amal, the star dated former wrestler Stacey Kiebler for two years with their relationship ending in July.

While known as a diehard bachelor, George has been married before briefly to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993.

Since then the actor has said while he is not completely closed off to the idea of marriage he is not the marrying type.

In December he told Esquire: 'I haven’t had aspirations in that way, ever. I was married in 1989. I wasn’t very good at it.'

The star would not comment definitely on whether he would go down the aisle again.

'I was quoted as saying I’ll never get married again pretty much right after I got divorced and then I’ve never talked about it since.'

George also said that while some people might think it strange that he doesn't have any children, he doesn't feel any need to rush out and start a family.

He said: 'What do you do? Should I go, "I got to get me some kids right now!" and rush out and impregnate someone?

'Look, what I do know is that I was raised in a loving, happy family. I don’t have any dislike or distrust of that.'
