Clooneys hire $318k bodyguards for twins
LONDON: Amal and George Clooney’s twins have just been born last week and their father is taking no chances when it comes to their safety.
George has reportedly hired “baby bouncers” to guard Ella and Alexander.
“Fatherhood was a long time coming for George so he’s not risking his brood coming to any harm,” a source told RadarOnline. “The baby bouncers are just the start.”
The outlet claimed that the bodyguards come at a cool price of $318,000 a year, and added that the new dad also forked out $127,000 for a high-tech security system to be installed at the family’s UK property.
“He and Amal have really spoiled the twins,” the source told RadarOnline. “There’s been so much work done on the house already for them.”
Amal’s job as a human rights attorney does place her in higher danger than the average Joe, and the pair ramped up their safety while she was expecting.
“We decided to be much more responsible, to avoid the danger. I will not go to South Sudan anymore and or the Congo [and] Amal will no longer go to Iraq and she will avoid places where she knows she is not welcome,” George told Paris Match magazine before the birth.
“How can we not be anxious when faced with this immense responsibility? To give birth to a child in this world, nevermind two,” George added.
“We are very happy, very excited, but also a bit nervous. It’s normal.”
