Looking at the lasting love between Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, the public also has more faith that in the world there will always be eternal love.

Love story

The beauty born in 1969 said: “At that time, I was attending a film festival, that’s where film contracts are signed. I thought Michael Douglas wanted to meet me for work. So, I never thought, ‘Oh my God, he wants to date me’… And just a few hours after meeting me, he said he wanted to be the father of my children.”

However, at that time, Catherine Zeta-Jones did not immediately “nod” to agree to date the actor 25 years older than her. Michael Douglas then often used his phone to text with the purpose of winning over this “hot girl”. Then Michael Douglas’ persistent pursuit was rewarded with a “nod” from the beauty.

When they started dating, the couple faced a lot of sarcasm, due to the age difference. Many of the criticisms were directed at Catherine Zeta-Jones, saying that the beauty wanted to “climb high” and date Michael Douglas in exchange for status and roles in Hollywood productions.

Hollywood star icon

When mentioning the top beauties of Hollywood entertainment, the public will immediately think of the once-famous “beauty icon” Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Catherine Zeta-Jones through many famous works such as: The Legend of Zorro, No Reservations, Ocean’s Twelve… Possessing a beautiful and extremely sexy appearance, right from the time she first entered the Hollywood film industry, Catherine Zeta-Jones was often assigned to take on leading roles.

Catherine Zeta-Jones herself once shared that her intention to meet Michael Douglas was initially purely for work purposes. Because at that time, while Catherine Zeta-Jones was still a young actress, Michael Douglas was already famous for his role as a famous producer and actor in the Hollywood film industry.

Despite the prejudice and sarcasm of “old husband – young wife”, the couple is always happy.

Born in 1969, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a Welsh actress who has won an Oscar and a Tony Award. After starring in a number of British and American television series and supporting roles in major films, Catherine Zeta-Jones quickly became an A-list star in Hollywood.

In addition to her film career, Catherine Zeta-Jones also makes the public admire and envy her long-lasting marriage with her husband, actor Michael Douglas, who is 25 years older than her. They both have one thing in common: they were both born on September 25, only 25 years apart.

Stormy marriage

During nearly 20 years of marriage, besides the sweetness, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have also experienced conflicts, even leading to the decision to separate.

The couple’s marriage was interrupted in 2010, when the actor was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. At that time, Catherine Zeta-Jones was a bit shaken. The reason was not because of having to take care of her sick husband. The beauty was pressured by sarcastic comments that she would abandon her husband to avoid having to take care of the actor.

In addition, Catherine Zeta-Jones herself has struggled with her mental health. Catherine Zeta-Jones was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and she chose to be hospitalized for a while.

They admitted that those turbulent years were a big challenge for both of them. After Michael Douglas overcame his illness, in 2013, the American media reported that he and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones decided to separate.

Shortly after, the couple’s representative also confirmed that: “Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas need time to reconsider to save their marriage.” The famous couple decided to temporarily live apart after Michael Douglas returned from the Cannes Film Festival in May 2013.

In 2014, the couple decided to reunite, and since then, there have been no major conflicts between them. Sharing about the breakup in his marriage, actor Michael Douglas said: “I don’t think there would be much chance of fixing the relationship if one of us had moved on. We shared everything.”

What is the secret to longevity?

After nearly 20 years of marriage, the couple has two children, Dylan (22 years old) and Carys (19 years old). In 2018, in an interview, the top Hollywood beauty shared the secret to maintaining family happiness through a very open marriage.

According to Catherine Zeta-Jones, that has helped her and her husband maintain a good and romantic relationship after nearly two decades together. “Both Michael and I have a very open relationship. You have to be open and honest, share everything with each other…”, Catherine Zeta-Jones said.

On their 20th anniversary, Catherine Zeta-Jones admitted that the older they get, the more they look alike: “It’s funny because Michael and my parents are the same age, when they see us together, they don’t even suspect that there’s a 25-year age difference.” The beauty said that her husband never made her feel that the age difference would tear them apart.
