George Clooney, aka Hollywood’s most convinced bachelor, got engaged to his British girlfriend Amal Alamuddin a few weeks ago, with the happy news making it out in the press late last month. Before Amal, Clooney dated former wrestler and television personality Stacy Keibler.

She did not appreciate hearing the engagement news in the media. In fact, Us Weekly reports, citing sources close to Keibler, she did not appreciate the news at all.

She was “irked” about it because, until she and George broke up, he kept telling her she would be the one to get him to settle down. After the breakup, though she had moved on with another man by then, she didn’t expect another woman to come in and simply swoop George off his feet to the extent of making him want to get married.

Years-old rumors in showbiz claim that Clooney is afraid of commitment, which is why he goes through his girlfriends like other men go through socks. He said so himself that, having been married once, he’d decided this was not a road he wanted to go down on again.

Stacy probably imagined that, if she couldn’t get him to settle down after all the things he said to her, no one could.

“When George and Stacy got together, he told her she would be the one he’d marry — and that they could have kids,” says the spy. Imagine the disillusionment. However, adds the insider, now, “Stacy’s happy for George. She is glad he was able to find true love.”

Stacy too has found true love, having started dating businessman Jared Pobre a short while after the breakup. They were recently married in a very romantic sunset ceremony on the beach, and are now expecting their first child together.

Amal, the woman who has been dubbed by the press as the lady who “tamed” Clooney, is an attorney in international law, whose most famous clients include the controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

She started dating Clooney sometime in October 2013 and, for a short while, they managed to keep the budding romance from the pages of the tabloids. When there was no more hiding it, during a very romantic trip to Dubai, George got down on bended knee and proposed to her with a gorgeous, ethically mined 7-carat diamond.

She said yes, of course. As of the moment of writing, no details about a possible wedding date or location have been revealed to the press, whether by accident or not.
