5. Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones
They’ve had their series of ups and downs as a couple, because who hasn’t? However, through it all they’ve maintained a strong relationship together. They have worked through Douglas’s 2010 diagnosis with stage four mouth cancer, and Zeta-Jones facing her diagnosis of bipolar disorder. The pair met at a film festival in 1998, and were married in 2000.
Today Douglas is 72 and Zeta-Jones is 47, with a 25 year age difference between them. They have two children, Dylan (16), and Carys (13). In speaking with the Daily Mirror about his wife, and their marriage, the actor said, “Catherine was extraordinary. She really took hold of the issue in a way, with due respect, that is not always true of the Brits.” He added, “In the end we were able to see the big picture and move on.
Now, we’re closer than ever.” Michael has also said that surviving cancer has helped him learn to live in the moment.
