This joyous celebration comes months after the pair sparked rumors that they had hit a rough patch in their nearly 22-year marriage, as Zeta-Jones failed to accompany Douglas to the Screen Actors Guild Awards even after he earned a Best Actor nomination.
“As Catherine’s friends will tell you, she loves a red-carpet event, so it just seemed odd that she wouldn’t be there to support him,” an unnamed insider close to the couple, who also share two children together, exclusively spilled to OK! back in March. “There were some whispers ... people were left to wonder what’s really going on between Catherine and Michael.”

Citing the pair’s 25-year age gap and Zeta-Jones’ recent career moves, the source likened the couple to “two ships passing in the night.”
“Friends fear they are just going through the motions at this point,” they added.
Representatives for Zeta-Jones and Douglas later denied these rumors, denouncing them as “totally false.”
