Amal Clooney is scaling back her jet-setting as she prepares for motherhood.

The human rights lawyer, 39, has travelled around the world for her job – visiting countries such as Iraq and Egypt.

But her husband George Clooney, 55, says the couple – expecting twins in June – plan to restrict the places they visit.

The Ocean’s Eleven star, an activist who travels to war-torn countries, said: "We decided to be much more responsible, to avoid the danger. I won’t go to South Sudan any more or the Congo, Amal will no longer go to Iraq and she’ll avoid places where she knows she isn’t welcome."

He told a French magazine the couple will "have the chance to live between three countries: Italy, America and England" – where they have homes. 

"But as soon as the children go to school, it’ll be necessary to choose where to settle." He denied reports they were expecting a boy and a girl, saying they did not know the gender.
