George Clooney hasn't exactly been spilling the deets on his engagement to Amal Alamuddin, but everyone around him has -- including his father Nick!

The 80-year-old broadcast vet tells Us Weekly, "We are thrilled. We have had an opportunity to interact with this wonderful young woman and these are two great people. We are thrilled at their decision and we hope for them the best." Alright, we get it -- "thrilled" is the word of the week for the Clooney clan! Still, Nick isn't in a position to tell the whole story. "This is his time, not ours," he said, noting that any further details will come from the 52-year-old actor.

George's mother Nina Clooney added that she was "extremely happy" about her son's engagement, telling The Daily Mail, "Amal's a lovely girl. I like her very much."

On Saturday multiple sources confirmed that Clooney had proposed to Alamuddin, and an insider told Us Weekly, "He likes a woman with brains and class. She's the full package … He's happy and found his ideal match. He didn't settle, so good for him."

If the two ever make it down the aisle, this will be the second marriage for Clooney, who was previously married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993. Wonder when George is going to make some sort of a statement about this? It's not really his style, but everyone's waiting on it!
