Catherine Zeta-Jones has opened up about her marriage to Michael Douglas who is 25 years her senior. 

Following her appearance as Morticia Addams in Tim Burton’s Wednesday, the star shared details of her own off screen marriage that has hit headlines for its ‘ups and downs’. 

She reflected on the almost 25 years she has spent with the actor and how their relationship has been tested through a separation and multiple health diagnoses. 

The pair tied the knot in 2000 and split briefly in 2013 amid Micahel’s tongue cancer struggles and Catherine’s bipolar disorder diagnosis – they managed to find their wait back to each other a year later in 2014.

During an interview with The Telegraph, she pondered over their battles as a couple and made some funny comparisons to her collection of designer purses. 

Catherine revealed: ‘It’s impossible for there not to be ups and downs if you live with the same person and wake up with them every day.

‘I’ve been waking up to Mike for nearly 25 years. I love being married but it’s a crazy thing when you really think about it. “Will you marry me?” “Sure!”

‘But then you think about the Chanel purse you spent a fortune on, and actually I don’t really like it any more – I’ll put it up for resale.’

Admitting there have been rocky moments, the Hollywood star spoke fondly of her older husband and urged their age gap never plays a role in their relationship.

‘We respect each other and I never really feel that he’s 25 years older than me.

‘I remember people saying, “When you’re 50, he’s going to be 75.” Well, that’s just maths.’

Not afraid of sharing their love for one another online, Michael posted a sweet tribute to his wife with whom he shares a birthday, for her special day. 

Underneath an Instagram throwback post of the pair, the Last Vegas star penned: ‘Happy Birthday Catherine! I love you always & forever [sic]’. 

In return the famous face uploaded her own acknowledgement with a selfie and some sweet words: ‘It’s our Birthday!! After 24 years of celebrating our special day together, I still look forward to it. 

‘I love you!!! a la votre!!!!!!!!!! [sic]’. 

The couple share two children together, son Dylan Michael and daughter Carys Zeta.
