George Clooney is 'dating Benazir Bhutto's niece'
Mr Clooney has embarked on a long-distance relationship with Fatima Bhutto after meeting her at an international conference last year, the National Enquirer has reported. The 26-year-old is an outspoken poet and journalist born into Pakistan's greatest political dynasty who lives with her brother and step-mother in a prosperous suburb of Karachi.
It quotes a friend of Mr Clooney's as saying: "George has courted her by phone and email, and arranged to meet her abroad when their schedules allowed. "Now he wants her to spend time with him in Hollywood. He's still out there with his usual assortment of eye-candy hanging from his arm. But George insists those days could be coming to an end if Fatima wants to take their relationship to the next level."
"But she didn't take his advances seriously because she thought their age difference would make a serious relationship impractical." Miss Bhutto is reported to be contesting her late aunt's former seat in the Larkana constituency in the next elections. She is also a prominent intellectual who has published a book of poetry, The Whispers of the Desert, and a memoir of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. Mr Clooney's father, Nick Clooney, is a famous journalist and politician in the US, and ran as a Democrat in the 2004 election for a seat in the House of Representatives.
