When it comes to Hollywood romances, one of the best couples that springs to mind is Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.
Read on to learn all about their relationship; from how they met to their sweetest moments.
How did Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas meet?
In August 1998, at the Deauville American Film Festival, Danny DeVito introduced Catherine and Michael to each other.
The couple quickly began dating and on December 31, 1999, Michael popped the question.
Catherine obviously said yes.
The couple ultimately tied the knot on November 18, 2000, at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Catherine and Michael did live apart for a brief period in 2013. At the time, a spokesperson for Catherine told US Weekly that she and Michael were “taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage.”
They reconciled in 2014 though, and Michael told E! News that he and Catherine were “stronger than ever.”
As of November 2024, the couple are still together.
What’s the age difference between Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas?
Catherine and Michael actually share a birthday.
Catherine was born on September 25, 1969, while Michael was born on September 25, 1944.
