Michael Returned the Favor With His Own Tribute
Michael Douglas confessed to falling in love with Catherine Zeta-Jones while filming a movie.
Michael shared a glamorous red carpet photo of the pair on his own Instagram, pairing it with an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, One Helluva Ride, out October 6.
"I had never fallen in love on a movie screen before. Until I saw Catherine," he wrote. "She was magic, in a way that went beyond beauty. And I was certain, as much as I had ever been about anything, that she was the one."
He continued with an even more sentimental note. "It's the kind of moment that only comes around once in your life, if you're lucky. The one time that you know, without any doubt in your mind, that you're meant to be with someone," he wrote.
Catherine responded in the comments section shortly after. "Thank you, darling. Thank you. Happy Birthday to you too my love," she wrote.
Their Love Story Goes Back to 1998
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have been married since 2000.
The pair first crossed paths at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998, several years before either turned to social media to celebrate their relationship.
They married on November 18, 2000, at New York City's Plaza Hotel, and now share two children, son Dylan, 26, and daughter Carys, 23.
Catherine has previously said communication is the secret to their 26-year marriage. "My husband is 25 years older than me; that's not a secret," she told WSJ Magazine in 2021. "With any relationship, it wouldn't be normal if there weren't any ups and downs."
