The couple has not officially confirmed the news, but Clooney's good friend Matt Damon revealed it to Entertainment Tonight Canada that the couple will welcome the twins in June. Damon told ET Canada that Clooney shared the pregnancy news with him last fall.

"I was working with him last fall and he pulled me aside on set and I mean, I almost started crying. I was so happy for him. And I was like, 'how far along is she?' And he goes, 'eight weeks'," he said.

"'Are you out of your mind?! Don't tell anybody else! Don't tell anybody else! Don't you know the 12-week rule?' Like of course, he doesn't. I was like, 'just shut up, man.' And then four weeks later, I'm like, 'we're good right?'" And Clooney replied: "'We're good.'"

Talking about Alamuddin, Damon said she is amazing and they are going to be awesome parents. "She's amazing. He hit the jackpot. Just on every level. She is a remarkable woman. They're gonna be great. They're gonna be awesome parents. Those kids are lucky," he said.

Clooney and Alamuddin have been married for two and a half years now. They tied the knot in Venice, Italy, in September 2014.

In January, a Lebanon daily reported that Clooney and Alamuddin are expecting twins – a boy and a girl. However, the daily also reported that she is due in March.
