Katherine Jenkins has thanked George Clooney for choosing the same wedding date as her.
The 34-year-old classical singer has praised the Hollywood actor for selecting Saturday, September 27 to marry his barrister beau, Amal Alamuddin because it meant that Katherine could wed her husband, Andrew Levitas in private.
Talking to the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine about her Welsh wedding, she said: "Thank God for George Clooney! When we found out we’d chosen the same day, we knew we had a chance of keeping our day under wraps as all eyes would be on them!
"I always said I would never sell my wedding and that’s why ours was a celebration of love surrounded by 200 of our family and closest friends."
Speaking about their whirlwind romance, Katherine – who started dating Andrew in February 2014 – shared: "I’ve usually had very long-term relationships. I’ve had three relationships over five years. So yes, for me, this is quick. But when you know, you know. And I absolutely know."
The blonde beauty also revealed that she was looking forward to starting a family with her artist husband and denied claims that she would put her career before having children.
She said: "I’ve read a lot that I put work before everything else. I don’t think that’s the case. I read stuff about global domination and me being so ambitious.
"But if I don’t have a family I think that will be a real disappointment to me. That’s one of my most wanted things."
