  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Children: Dylan Michael Douglas (b. 2000) and Carys Zeta Douglas (b. 2003).

The pair became red carpet regulars and were frequently praised for their charisma and enduring bond.


⚠️ 2013 Separation: The Marriage Hits a Rough Patch

In summer 2013, People magazine reported that Douglas and Zeta-Jones were living separately, having quietly taken a break starting in May that year.

  • Neither filed for divorce.
  • By November 2013, they were reportedly reconciled.
  • In 2015, Douglas told Ellen DeGeneres that their marriage was “stronger than ever.”

🤔 2023 Divorce Rumors: Are They Living Separate Lives?

In October 2023, RadarOnline published a controversial report suggesting Douglas and Zeta-Jones were “divorced in all but name,” quoting an unnamed source:

“They have this arrangement that’s working for them because nobody knows about it. They’re definitely living separate lives.”

However, no official statement or divorce filing has ever emerged. The couple continues to appear together publicly, including at film festivals and red carpet events in 2024 and 2025.


🎂 Shared Birthday and Public Tributes

Catherine and Michael famously share a birthday, and they’ve often used the occasion to post heartfelt messages. In 2024, Zeta-Jones raised eyebrows and admiration when she posted a nude portrait in honor of their shared day — a gesture interpreted by many as a bold statement of unity.


📅 Where Things Stand in 2025

As of May 2025, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones remain publicly married. Though reports hint at a more unconventional arrangement behind the scenes, no official news confirms a legal separation or divorce.

Until such confirmation arrives, they remain one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples — weathering storms together, or at least appearing to.
