On the set of his movie Suburbicon late last year, George and Amal Clooney couldn’t seem to contain their happiness— and his coworkers couldn’t help but wonder. “George and Amal were both glowing,” says a set source. “There were hints and rumors about her being pregnant. She seemed careful with food and didn’t have any caffeine.” During Amal’s several visits to the set, “she greeted everyone with a friendly handshake and a huge smile. She acted very down-to-earth. She didn’t ask for anything and just wanted to hang out in the background. George wouldn’t really let her, though. He would bring her around the set, beam and introduce her as ‘my wife, Amal.’ It was very cute to see how excited he was.”

Several weeks later the world was finally let in on their not-so-little secret. The former perennial bachelor, 55, who stunned everyone in 2014 by proposing to Amal, a Lebanese-British human-rights lawyer, is about to become a first-time father—times two. Multiple sources confirmed to People that Amal, 39, is expecting twins—a boy and a girl— this spring. “George is excited but nervous,” says a source close to the couple’s inner circle. “He is excited about the kids, but also has the normal amount of nerves that come with being parents.” For her part, Amal “strikes me as someone who’ll be a fantastic mother,” says another insider. “Intelligent, loving, funny, smart, nurturing. She doesn’t seem someone who will let kids get away with being Hollywood children.”
