Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are one of Hollywood’s longest-reigning couples, and for good reason. After almost 25 years of marriage, the duo are more in love than ever, and they’re known to flirt on social media.
In their latest exchange, Michael, 80, shared a snap from his adventures in nature, captioned: “Tree Hugging Saturday! What’s everyone up to this weekend? Wishing you all you a great weekend!”
As fans flocked to the comments, Catherine, 55, joined in, quipping: “Spectacular. The tree is nice, too.”

Production officially commenced in March, with the cast and crew heading to Bilbao, Lisbon, London and Swansea for the project.

One of Hollywood’s most solid couples, Catherine and Michael are consistently asked for the secret to their enduring marriage. Back in 2021, Catherine told PEOPLE that while they’ve had their “ups and downs,” the “constant is love and respect.”

“I’m really working 16 hours a day, or I’m not. He’s doing the same, or not. So we’ve had in our relationship huge amounts of time where we’ve been just us. We lived on the island of Bermuda for 12 years, bringing up our kids. We respect each other’s space, and our humor is just long-lasting.”
Michael and Catherine’s love story
Michael and Catherine first crossed paths at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998. Immediately smitten with the Mask of Zorro star, the A-lister had approached her while she was sitting in a bar and, after getting to know Catherine, told her: “You know, I’m going to be the father of your children.”

The following year, Michael popped the question at his Aspen home on New Year’s Eve and by 2000, the duo tied the knot at the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City. A star-studded wedding, estimated to have cost $1.5 million, Catherine walked down the aisle in a Christian Lacroix gown, complete with a billowing train and a veil that reportedly cost $140,000.
