George Clooney's mother is "extremely happy" her son is engaged to Amal Alamuddin.
Nina Warren is over the moon the Hollywood hunk has popped the question to the British human rights lawyer because she thinks she's a "lovely girl".
Speaking to the MailOnline, she said: "You can say I'm extremely happy, Amal's a lovely girl."
Nina admits she and her husband Nick, who met Amal over a year ago, weren't surprised when they found out the couple had got engaged because they are well suited, due to their similar interest in international affairs.
She explained: "We weren't at all surprised when they told us they were engaged, and we couldn't be happier for them. On an intellectual level, they are equals. That is very important to him. Amal's world couldn't be more different from the Hollywood lifestyle."
Nina also believes Amal, 36, is completely different from George's previous girlfriends - including Stacy Keibler, Lisa Snowdon, and Renée Zellweger - because she has budding career and is very intelligent.
Asked if Amal is similar to other woman who have dated George, 52, she replied: "Heavens, no! She's a lawyer, she is brilliant, she is a very bright woman and at the very top of her career."
Meanwhile, the couple first sparked rumours they had got engaged when the brunette beauty was spotted showing off a diamond sparkler on her ring finger as they indulged in sushi at Nobu in Malibu last Thursday (24.04.14).
The pair were first linked after a dinner date in October and their romance has been getting increasingly more serious in recent months.

Matthew McConaughey may move his family back to Texas.
The 'Dallas Buyers Club' star is from Uvalde, a city located in the Southern state, and his wife Camila Alves admits she loves Texas because it is so "easy and relaxed" and she and her Oscar winner husband have been considering raising their three children, Levi, five, Vida, four, and,16-month-old Livingston, near the actor's hometown of Longview, Texas.
Speaking at the Mack, Jack & McConaughey fundraiser in Austin - which is partly hosted by Matthew to raise cash for local children's charities - Camila told People.com: "It's possible that we do that, that the kids grow up here and go to school. It's different here than in other places, and we really like it.
"It's more relaxed and easy here. It's our home and we love it. It feels so good to be back here with our good friends and family."
Matthew frequently visits his hometown, even buying a house in Lake Austin to be closer to his mother Kay McCabe, and Camila is very grateful to the locals who let the famous family get on with their life and respect their right to privacy.
She added: "The people really take care of us here and they treat us like regular people. The children played and played forever outside, and no one came up to us and no one asked for pictures or anything. Everyone protects us here and lets us just be us."

Meanwhile, the band have also announced they will headline Glastonbury Festival, making their debut appearance at the top of the Pyramid stage bill on Sunday, June 29.

Lindsay Lohan's film 'Inconceivable' is reportedly having trouble securing financing.
The 27-year-old actress vowed to get her life back on track after being released from rehab for the sixth time last year and has stayed sober other than one blip which was captured on her reality TV show 'Lindsay'.
Although she has cleaned up her act, it is alleged that financiers aren't still have major concerns about the 'Mean Girls' actress due to her past reputation and are concerned she won't be reliable on set.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "There is currently no date for filming to begin on Lindsay's 'Inconceivable' ... producers are having trouble getting money for the project. There is always the problem of insuring Lindsay for movies. Her diva behaviour, not showing up on time, or at times, Lindsay doesn't even arrive at all. It's very likely this movie will never get made.
"The only reason 'Inconceivable' was pitched at Sundance was an attempt to garner interest and create buzz about the project. It didn't. Lindsay is currently in Europe attempting raise money for the project, but isn't having any luck."

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have joined the mile high club.
The couple - who married by Lake Como in Italy last year - got hot and steamy under the sheets while they were flying first class to Thailand to visit the Sports Illustrated model's parents.
Chrissy made the racy revelation to the latest US issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, saying: "We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first class. We were under a blanket. We weren't even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that!"
Chrissy, 28, insists she and John, 35, are comfortable being openly affectionate with one another when they're in public and she says the musician likes it when she wears a dress so he can slide his hands along her thighs.
She said: "We're by no means freaky-deaky, but let's just say, we're open to things. We're very OK with PDA. When we go to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing."
Chrissy played it cool when they first hooked up after they met on the set of his 2009 single, 'Stereo', since she didn't want to scare him off and just enjoy their time together.
She confessed: "I'm not going to lie. We hooked up. [When he went on tour] I left him be himself for a while. The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, There's so much more out there. I played it cool for a long time. Never once did I ask, 'What are we?' Marriage was never my goal, because I've never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him."

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin have been congratulated on their engagement by the law firm she works for.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - who has been dating the human rights lawyer since late last year - has yet to comment on the reports that he's got betrothed to the British human rights lawyer but Doughty Street Chambers, the legal company that she is employed by, appear to have confirmed the news with a statement wishing the happy couple their best.
A statement from the firm said: "The barristers and staff of Doughty Street Chambers offer their best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin, a member of Chambers, and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married."
The couple were first linked after a dinner date in October and their romance has been getting increasingly more serious in recent months.
The 36-year-old brunette first fuelled rumours George had proposed when she was spotted showing off a diamond sparkler on her ring finger as they indulged in sushi at Nobu in Malibu last Thursday (24.04.14).
The 52 -year-old actor previously claimed he'd never get married again following his split from ex-wife Talia Balsam and is famed for dating a string of beautiful women including Lisa Snowdon, Stacy Keibler and Elisabetta Canalis.

Lee Ryan has deleted his Twitter account.
The 'All Rise' singer took to the official Blue page to inform followers he would be shutting down his personal account, @LeeRyanMusic, and that they could keep up-to-date with him from the account he shares with bandmates Antony Costa, Duncan James and Simon Webb.
He wrote: "Life is such a beautiful thing, too good to waste. Follow me & Blue here as I'm closing my @LeeRyanMusic account // Lee (sic)"
The reflective tweet comes in the wake of Lee's apology in which he admitted to receiving a "wake-up call" following his arrest for drink driving and being found in possession of a Class A drug last month.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "I know I've let people down. Being arrested and ending up in a cell was the biggest wake-up call to me. It made me ­realise there is a problem I can't keep ignoring. I need to do something about."
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star was supposed to check into the Priory over Easter weekend following an intervention from his bandmates, but according to reports he will postpone his stint in rehab to perform a gig abroad with Blue.

Sarah Lancashire could never be a police officer.
The 49-year-old actress portrays Sgt. Catherine Cawood in new drama 'Happy Valley' and, though she found life "interesting" when she worked with some real-life officers to research the role, she doesn't think it's a job she would be willing to take on.
She said: "One of the most interesting things I learnt when I went out with them was how undermanned they are and also that their life can change within five minutes.
"We had this incident where we were called out to a house where the bailiffs had turned up and needed to take some belongings away. It turned into the filthiest fight and that's when I stayed in the van. The whole day changed. It's interesting, but it's not for me."
Former 'Coronation Street' star Sarah worked hard to ensure she was convincing in her role, and felt a "huge relief" when told she was allowed to show compassion to victims.
She explained: "Lisa [the police advisor] was always on set to help with the procedural stuff, she had a very keen eye on making sure everything was accurate.
"I really did need her there all the time, just for tiny things like putting handcuffs on or in one scene I deliver bad news to somebody and she said, 'Look, it's OK to cry and hug them.'
"That was a huge relief because it's human nature and your instinct, but it tends not to be how we see that world portrayed."
'Happy Valley' - which also stars Steve Pemberton, James Norton and Siobhan Finneran - begins on BBC One on Tuesday night (29.04.14).

Stefan Dennis says security was increased on the set of 'Neighbours' to protect the identity of Kate Ramsay's killer.
The veteran 'Neighbours' actor - who plays Paul Robinson in the Australian soap - says the cast would get a "rap across the knuckles" if they were careless with the script, and all final copies had to be shredded after filming to prevent anyone from finding out who murdered Paul's niece in the super secretive storyline.
Stefan exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "If it's a genuine mistake you would probably get wrapped across the knuckles if they found out you had been careless, but all the scripts at work get taken to the shredders. We have security bins at work, we are not allowed to throw them out at home.
"There is that slight danger of someone going through our rubbish it's happened before. Someone once left there scripts in a car and it got stolen and they had to re-write the entire block. So they are very careful and the security is quite high on the scripts."
Stefan thinks viewers will have a tough time figuring out who Kate's murderer is following her shock death in the episode which aired on Channel 5 last Monday (21.04.14) when she was shot dead and collapsed in the arms of boyfriend Mark Brennan, just after accepting his marriage proposal on her birthday.
He said: "We all knew from the start [who had killed Kate] but in saying that, it's going to be a drawn out process for the next couple of months in quite a clever way, there is going to be a lot of twists and turns. I have to take my hats off to the writers."

Holly Willoughby and Keith Lemon have praised ITV's new breakfast show, 'Good Morning Britain'.
The news programme - which features a quartet of presenters including Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlote Hawkins and Sean Fletcher - got off to a flying start this morning (28.04.14) as it replaced 'Daybreak' in the early morning slot on ITV.
'This Morning' presenter Holly was one of the viewers who awoke extra early to catch a glimpse of former 'BBC Breakfast' star Susanna, 43, on her new show and it seems the blonde beauty was impressed.
She wrote on Twitter: "Good Morning Britain is looking rather lovely... Good morning y'all! Xxx #goodmorningbritain (sic)"
Meanwhile, 'Celebrity Juice' comic Keith was happy to wake up to Susanna and former Sky News presenter Charlotte on TV.
He tweeted: "Enjoying this new morning telly show #GMB some tidy birds. (sic)"
On the first show, Susanna confidently conducted a one-on-one interview with employment minister Esther McVey regarding new benefit laws in Britain, and later she and Ben, 39, welcomed their first celebrity guest, Paul O'Grady, for a chat.
'Good Morning Britain' has earned positive reviews, with some critics likening it to fast-paced morning news show 'Good Morning America' in the US.
The new breakfast show's set is also a drastic change from the sofa-and-coffee table set-up seen on 'Daybreak' as the show's hosts are instead seated around a large glass desk for the majority of the programme.
It seems Susanna, Ben, Sean, 40, and Charlotte, 38, have already hit it off as they finished each other's sentences and quipped about their "chemistry".

Lorde has hit out at "spineless" music critics.
The New Zealand singer has taken to her Tumblr account to post a blog slamming Complex magazine which gave rapper Iggy Azalea a poor review for her new album 'The New Classic', after featuring her on the cover.
Lorde posted: "Bugs me how publications like complex will profile interesting artists in order to sell copies/get clicks and then shit on their records. It happens to me all the time - [music website] Pitchfork and that ilk being like 'can we interview you?' after totally taking the p*ss out of me in a review. (sic)
"Have a stance on an artist and stick to it. Don't act like you respect them then throw them under the bus."
Iggy backed Lorde on Twitter, posting: "I agree @lordemusic media LOVE to flop about, But when you're completely spineless Im sure its hard to stick to even ur own opinion #GoGirl. (sic)"
Complex magazine later responded to Lorde's blog post, explained its reasoning behind the review in a comment piece from associate editor Insanul Ahmed.
He said: "No one should stick to their opinion when new facts (possibly in the form of new music) are made available that can alter your views. Art and artistry are fluid things.
"Celebrities seek attention and media coverage every time they do something great, why would the camera stop rolling when they do something not so great? And even if they do, it isn't meant to be disrespectful - it's meant to be critical."

Beyoncé and Jay Z have announced a joint US tour for later this year.
The 'Drunk In Love' hitmaker and her rapper husband, who have two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy together, will kick off their 'On The Run' tour on June 25 in Miami.
Beyoncé took to Facebook to unveil a tour poster today (28.04.14), showing the couple in an embrace wearing black balaclavas, along with ticket details.
The post reads: "#OnTheRunTour This Summer. Exclusive Beyhive pre-sale begins tomorrow (29.04.14) at 8am."
The 32-year-old star and her husband, 44, have collaborated together on a number of occasions and performed on stage at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.
Rumours spread of a joint tour in recent weeks and after the pair wrapped on their own individual tours, with Jay performing 52 dates in support of his 'Magna Carta...Holy Grail' album and Beyoncé concluding her 'Mrs. Carter Show' world tour last month.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé's sister Solange praised her work ethic and how she manages to juggle her career with being a wife and mother.
She told ASOS magazine: "I have never seen anything like it in my life, from anyone. It's absolutely insane.
"Now that she's become a mother, and the way that she's able to balance that is so inspiring. If I am ever feeling like I want to open up my mouth and complain about how hard I am working, I think, 'Uhhh! Sit down!'."
