The A-List couple, married in 2014, have cemented their reputation as some of the most enviable and functional celebs in Hollywood.

The pair have spoken about their low-stress dynamic before, but George doubled down on the claim on Monday.

Talking to Gayle King on CBS Mornings, he said: “I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we’d never had an argument. We still haven’t! We’re still trying to find something to fight about.”

“I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman. And I feel as if I hit the jackpot.”

“There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world.”

In 2022, human rights lawyer and philanthropist Amal joked that her harmonious marriage is the source of great frustration to her friends and family.

“It’s maddening to some of our friends,” she said in 2022.

“I have a cousin… every time we see him, his first question is, ‘So have you had an argument yet?’ before he says ‘Hello.’”

George and Amal have gone to bat for each other several times in the past, even when powerful politicians were involved.

In 2024, when Amal played a prominent role in preparing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then-President Biden hit out at her work, calling the warrants "outrageous".

George is then reported to have directly phoned a Whitehouse aid to express his fury at Biden's comments.

The peaceful pair aren’t the only Hollywood couple to make this claim, with Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats recently telling Us Weekly that they never argue.
