The Oscar-winning actor and the British-Lebanese lawyer also vacationed in March in the exotic Indian Ocean archipelago, which contains some of the most beautiful beaches and luxury villas in the world. The Telegraph reported that they are currently staying on the North Island, a lush, secluded area touted for its privacy.
"We want people, famous or not, to be able to relax on their holiday," St. Ange told the outlet, in comments published on Saturday. "They shouldn't have to worry about being spied upon."
The newlyweds were also recently spotted at Victoria International Airport on the island of Mahé in Seychelles, E! News has learned. X17Online also reported that they were honeymooning in Seychelles.
A week ago, Clooney and Alamuddin exchanged vows at a $4.6 million wedding celebration at a posh waterfront hotel in front of family and friends, including celebrities such as Bill Murray, Matt Damon and Bono, and made their marriage official two days later in a civil ceremony at Venice's city hall (pictured above).
