Academy Award-winning Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has wished her two-time Academy Award-winning husband, Michael Douglas, a happy birthday.
Rather remarkably, Zeta-Jones turns 57 on the same day her husband turns 82 (which makes him older than Zeta-Jones’ father, David, incidentally, as he turned 80 just over a week ago). While she was born on September 25, 1969, in Swansea, Wales, Douglas came into the world in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on September 25 in 1944.
Per People, the couple met in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival. They got engaged in December 1999 and married the following November. The couple now have two children together: son Dylan and daughter Carys.
Since meeting, they have acted together in one movie. That was in the 2000 crime drama movie “Traffic.”
Despite a brief breakup from 2013 until 2014, they are now living in wedded bliss. Zeta-Jones has taken to social to media to wish her beloved hubby a happy 82nd birthday on the same day she turns 57.
