Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are synonymous with one another. They are known for many things, perhaps it is their stellar acting careers, their family background, their past before they met, or the fact that they is 25 years between them. Their age gap is significant but it doesn’t seem to bother them in the least, if anything, it seems to make their relationship stronger. Catherine shot to fame with her role in The Mask of Zorro, while Michael was recognized for his role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a role which earned him an Academy Award for his production work.
The lives of the Douglas’s is one that is enviable. They have two children together and travel the world whenever possible. However, with the good also comes the bad. Both Catherine and Michael have felt the negative aspects of fame with the constant hound of the paparazzi, as well as battled their own health issued in the limelight. Michael has battled stage IV throat cancer, while Catherine has, and will continue to, battle bipolar II disorder. Both of them had a lot to take on at the time of their medical issues, so much so that the stress of it all tore their relationship up.
Catherine and Michael made it through their separation as better people and a stronger couple. They are together today because of what they went through, which they both say made them more appreciative of who and what they have in their lives. It takes something horribly hard to happen to you in order to regain some perspective. We have a feeling that through this walk back at the life of these two love birds, we are going to love their professional work even more.

There is a 25-year age gap between Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. While it is not a big deal these days, it was when the two got together – it was all anyone could talk about. Michael had been married once before and had one son, Cameron Douglas, with his first wife, Diandra Luker. Catherine had never been married and had no children. Despite their differences, the two hit it off right off the bat.
