George Clooney and fiance Amal Alamuddin might be tight lipped on their recent engagement -- but that doesn't mean Alamuddin's bosses are! The British human rights lawyer's law firm has gone public with its first official confirmation of the secret betrothal. That means it's real you guys! George Clooney is actually engaged!

"The barristers and staff of Doughty Street Chambers offer their best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin, a member of Chambers, and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married," the firm said in a statement to Reuters.

Barrister Geoffrey Robertson also commented that Alamuddin is respected by her colleagues and is a, "brilliant and passionate defender of human rights." In addition, Robin Jackson, chief executive of her law firm, told the news outlet, "She brings a bright light to everything she is involved in, and I am so delighted at her happy news."

On Saturday, news broke that Oscar-winning actor-director popped the question to the 36-year-old sometime in the past two weeks.

On April 23, the pair dined at Craig's in West Hollywood and, according to an eyewitness, they were toasting their engagement, reported Us Weekly.

The duo made their first public appearance together at the White House screening of Monuments Men in February. Since then, Clooney and Alamuddin vacationed together in Africa in March and also took a trip to the Seychelles.

George is going to be owing some of his famous friends like Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt some serious cash after this shocking engagement. The Cloones has famously bet his famous friends that he won't ever be getting married again (he was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989-2003). Looks like by winning big in love -- Georgey boy is losing some big money! We guess it's worth it!
