On September 25, the family of Hollywood actors Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas had double the reason to celebrate. The couple shared their birthdays on the same day!“I love you with all my heart! May this be your best year yet!” Douglas lovingly proclaimed to his wife.
As usual, they publicly wished each other well in their photoblogs. Catherine Zeta-Jones posted a throwback photo from 25 years ago, capturing the early days of their marriage. The photo, taken in New York, shows the couple celebrating their first joint birthday.
“In my birthday suit! After over 25 years of celebrating our shared birthdays, I’m running out of gift ideas for my husband! This is gift option number two—the first was golf balls… obviously,” the actress joked in the caption. She had previously shared that on September 25, 1999, they were already celebrating together—Catherine turning 30 and Michael 55.
The post quickly generated a lot of buzz. Within hours, over 108,000 likes and more than 2,500 comments poured in. Fans were full of admiration, with some saying: “Let’s be honest, if Catherine looks like this now, every day is Michael’s birthday,” “Happy Birthday! Absolutely stunning,” “If my body looked like hers at her age, I’d post every nude photo I had, and I wouldn’t care what anyone thought,” and “Such a great gift for your husband and fans—what a gorgeous sight. Wishing you a joyful and blessed birthday.”
Michael Douglas also wished his wife a happy birthday with a heartfelt post. He shared a black-and-white photo of Catherine and wrote, “To my birthday twin, I love you with all my heart! May your new year be the best yet!” To which Catherine replied in the comments, “Thank you, darling!” with a festive emoji.
The couple tied the knot in New York on November 18, 2000. They have two grown children together: 24-year-old Dylan and 21-year-old Carys. Michael also has a 45-year-old son, Cameron, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker. After Carys graduated high school in 2021, Michael admitted that he and Catherine are now navigating a new chapter in their relationship. “It’s scary. Really scary. You look at each other and think, ‘Well, it’s just you and me, babe.’ You forget how much of your conversations revolve around your kids and their futures, and one day, you’re just left looking at each other.”
