Keep reading to know more about how she celebrated the big day.
Catherine Zeta-Jones shares a birthday with her husband Michael Douglas. While Zeta-Jones turned 55, Douglas celebrated his milestone 80th birthday! To commemorate her birthday or perhaps as a birthday present to her husband, Zeta-Jones uploaded a spicy picture to social media!
“In my birthday suit! I am running out of gift ideas!” she joked in the caption.
In the picture, the actress is wearing nothing but high heels as she stands in front of a sink and stares at herself in the mirror. The morning sun is illuminating her beautifully.
Fans were floored by the picture. With one person commenting, “Let’s be fair if Catherine looks like that now, every day is a birthday for Michael!”
“Listen, if my body looks like this at her age, I’m gonna post all the nudes and not care about what any of y’all think,” another person added.
This was not the only picture she shared on the big day. She also shared an old throwback of a previous birthday the two of them had shared. The picture was taken by Jean Pigozzi as the couple was celebrating their birthdays as 30 and 55-year-olds, respectively.
“Happy birthday to Michael and me!!” she said in the caption. “This was us on our birthday 25 years ago! I love you with all my heart.”
On his part, Douglas also made a birthday post for his beloved wife. He posted a picture and a sweet video, where Zeta-Jones is accompanied by U2’s Bono singing the birthday song as they hold up a sole cupcake.
“To my birthday twin, I love you wholeheartedly!” Michael Douglas wrote in the caption. “Wishing you the best year ahead.”
The couple met in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival and were engaged just a year later in December 1999. They welcomed their first child together on August 8, 2000. The baby was present at their wedding ceremony just a few months later, in November 2000. In 2003, they welcomed their second child.
“I met her in the bar, and she was a total gentleman,” Douglas recalled of their first meeting on The Jonathan Ross Show years later. “I asked her: ‘By chance, do you want to come back and have a nightcap?’”
When she met him later that same night, he told her, “You know, I’m going to be the father of your children,” which the actress did not like and told him she had heard enough about him and then ended up leaving the date.
Douglas on his part, did not give up and arranged for a letter with roses to be delivered to the set of Entrapment, a movie which Zeta-Jones was set to film in Scotland.
While they have been together since then, the road has not been easy. In 2013, the couple separated for a while before reconciling a year later.
