Political ambitions, or just the general upper class culture of wanting to present as a couple. Being married can still open doors in certain old money elite circles.
I agree with this too. Her exotic ethnicity and religion and politically-correct "career" only add to that status -- a perfect liberal pin-up girl, made even more perfect, indeed, by the fact that she is attractive but not that beautiful; she can serve as a credible pretty-worldly-intellectual-career-woman rather than just another bimbo. Similar to a Huma Abedin scenario, although Abedin comes across as a grinning sycophant moron whereas Alamuddin does not in my opinion.
Although I dislike his left-wing politics, Clooney strikes me as not a bad guy -- he is more into the feel-good "humanitarian" causes, which is an important contrast with most Hollywood socialists who exhibit much harder-edged arrogance and hypocrisy.
(Obviously I am going only by the public personae of these three individuals and I have no idea what they're really like.)
Alternatively, or relatedly, could it be that Clooney is an intelligent person and got tired of the cunt carousel of gorgeous luxury-grubbing bubbleheads, and maybe she gives him a bit more? It's not beyond the realm of possibility.
