Hollywood's most-sought after bachelor George Clooney is engaged to girlfriend Amal Alamuddin. Nicholas Clooney, George's father, confirmed the engagement.

"It's true, and we're thrilled... We think it will be a great marriage," Nicholas Clooney said.

Fans of George Clooney thought the star has finally found love in Amal Alamuddin, despite his pessimistic outlook on marriage. Clooney's negativity on marriage can be tracked as far back as 1995. In an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, Clooney had said that he won't remarry. Barbara Walters had asked Clooney how he can be certain of this to which the star replied that he wasn't very good at it (pertaining to the divorce from wife Talia Balsam).

In 1996, George Clooney was interviewed by Vanity Fair, and again, reiterated he wasn't suited for marriage.

"I probably—definitely—wasn't someone who should have been married at that point. I just don't feel like I gave Talia a fair shot. I was responsible for the failure of that marriage," he claimed.

Flashforward 10 years later (2006), George Clooney was named as "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine. Clooney was asked again on his bachelor status, to which he replied with uncertainty whether he would remarry and then claimed that marriage is not something he was looking out for and not even considering at that moment. It was a step up from his statement to Barbara Walters when he said he was certain that he wouldn't remarry.

In 2008, George Clooney was back to his pessimism on marriage when he spoke to British newspaper Sunday People.

"I don't expect to ever get married again or have children. I am never at home and every woman gets sick of it. ... If I was them, I would never put up with me for long—and they don't, "he had revealed.

In 2011, Esquire published an essay wherein Clooney confessed to love it that people forget that he was ever married. Then in 2012, Clooney told Hollywood Reporter that he doesn't even think about marriage at all.

Earlier this year, in an interview with The Express, George Clooney said that people just don't believe him when he says that he'll never marry again nor have children.

George Clooney could not have made it any clearer that he is not husband material. What do fans have to say? Will the marriage to Amal Alamuddin push through?

Who is Amal Alamuddin?

I am happy about #GeorgeClooneyEngaged and wish them the best. I hope it really happens for her sake. She must be pretty special. — Laurie Donaldson (@Laurdonhope) April 27, 2014

Maybe #GeorgeClooney wants kids though. Perhaps that's why he decided to remarry? 52 isn't too old to start a family. #georgeclooneyengaged — Angelica Talan (@ClarendonMoms) April 27, 2014
