Gallery: George Clooney splits up with Elisabetta Canalis and we look at her style

George Clooney fans will be celebrating this morning with the news that George Clooney has split with Elisabetta Canalis after nearly two years together.

The 50-year-heart throb – who has previously dated British beauty Lisa Snowdon and was married to actress Talia Balsam for four years until 1993 – has released a joint statement with Elisabetta confirming the split, and asked for “privacy” in the wake of the break-up.

The pair said: “We are not together anymore. It’s very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy.”

George and 32-year-old Elisabetta were seen just last week on a night out at the Il Gatto Nero restaurant in Lake Como, Italy, and she has previously revealed she hoped to marry – despite the ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ star saying he never would again.

She said: “I am a firm believer in marriage, in the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am.”

Discussing his opinion on marriage recently, George – who is currently filming a role in ‘Gravity’ alongside Sandra Bullock – said he had given it a chance.

He said: “I was married. I gave it a shot.”

We can’t but feel sorry for the Italian actress, who seemed to have the style and sophistication that matched George’s.

Unlike Lisa Snowdon she went for the Italian chic look consisting of long slinky ballgown dresses in rich golds and reds as well as little black numbers. See her style gallery below.
