Puppy love! Amal and George Clooney welcome adorable new addition to their family
George and Amal Clooney looked smitten as they proudly took a stroll with the adorable new addition to their family - a St Bernard puppy called Nelson.
The Hollywood power couple were photographed meandering through the picturesque village streets of Cotignac in the South of France on Saturday with their puppy in tow - believed to have been a surprise for Amal's 46th birthday.
Looking effortlessly chic, the civil rights lawyer donned a vintage Pierre Cardin suede dress all the way from the 1960s. With a pleated skirt, thick suede belt fastened by a geometric buckle, and a rich caramel-hued suede, Amal looked divine in the one-of-a-kind number.
She paired her ensemble with towering leather boots, oversized sunglasses and a Prada 'Cleo' brushed leather shoulder bag.
Her sweetest accessory, however, was the fluffy St Bernard pooch, who appeared to find the cobbled streets of Cotignac a bit too tiresome after a while.

Taking to dog-mom duties like a natural, Amal swept up the bundle of joy, laughing as she cradled the canine for much of its sun-soaked walk in the Cote d'Azur.
She and George, 62, who was dressed down in jeans and a navy polo shirt, visited an art gallery and were joined by friends for lunch on the terrace of the gourmet Picotte restaurant.
Nelson is not the first St Bernard in the Clooney family. The charming pup will be joining the family's much-loved pooch Rosie, who is named after George's late aunt Rosemary.
The Ocean's Eleven actor has long been recognised for his passion for rescuing animals, who end up travelling the world with him. He previously owned cocker spaniel Einstein, who died in 2017, and the couple have since rescued basset hound Millie and Louie, another spaniel.
Amal and George's latest addition comes after reports the couple had secretly purchased a reported $8.3 million 18th Century home, Domain Le Canadel, in 2021.
The idyllic property is situated on an enchanting and sprawling 425-acre Provence wine estate, and comes equipped with a pool, tennis court, boules pitch, vast gardens, an ornamental lake, olive grove and 25-acre vineyard.
The estate is just a 25-minute drive from Chateau Miraval, formally co-owned by George's close friend and fellow actor Brad Pitt, and ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
The couple's sprawling home on the Cote d'Azur is just one of many magnificent properties in their multi-million dollar property portfolio.
George has owned an estate in Lake Como, Villa Oleandra, for over 20 years, while the couple also spend half their time raising twins Ella and Alexander, six, in Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire.
