Douglas and Zeta-Jones reflect on marriage after 2013 separation
Michael Douglas says his 26-year marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones remains strong despite their brief 2013 separation.
Michael Douglas met Catherine Zeta-Jones at the 1998 Deauville film festival when he was 53 and she was 28. Douglas and Zeta-Jones married in 2000 at the Plaza Hotel in New York and have two adult children, Dylan and Carys.
