Catherine Zeta Jones returned to Netflix’s Wednesday for season two as the morbid teenager’s mum.
Morticia Addams has a fiery marriage to Gomez Addams on Wednesday, leading many Netflix subscribers to think about her real-life romance with acting legend Michael Douglas.
Jenna Ortega is back as the unforgettably dark Wednesday Addams for season two of Wednesday which dropped on Netflix last week.
As Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy, her mum Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta Jones) has a mission of her own as she heads up the school’s upcoming charity gala.
When she isn’t fundraising or looking out for her troublesome daughter, Morticia is spending quality time with her husband Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman).
As fans now wait for Wednesday season two, part two, to come out, here’s everything there is to know about actress Zeta Jones’ real-life marriage to Michael Douglas.
Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas’ relationship timeline
Meeting
Douglas first met with Zeta Jones, who is 25 years his junior, at the 1998 Deauville Film Festival where she was promoting The Mask of Zorro and he, A Perfect Murder.
In 2016 on The Jonathan Ross Show, he shared that he asked his publicist to arrange a meeting between the two of them that evening.
He commented: “I met her in the bar and was a total gentleman.” Douglas recalled telling her: “You know, I’m going to be the father of your children.”
Engagement
The Basic Instinct star popped the question during a New Year ’s Eve trip to Aspen, Colorado in 1999.
First child
Rumours had been circling that Zeta Jones was pregnant which was eventually confirmed by Douglas.
He told People: “We obviously were hoping to hang onto this information a little longer than expected but, yep, Catherine’s expecting, and both of us couldn’t be happier.”
It was then on August 8 that they welcomed their first child Dylan Douglas with the actor’s publicist stating: “They’re ecstatic.”
Wedding
A few months later and the stars tied the knot at a stunning ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York in November, 2000.
Zeta Jones wore a David Emanuel dress and a plethora of famous faces were in attendance like Whoopi Goldberg, Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks.
Second child
The Wednesday star didn’t find out she was pregnant with her second child until towards the end of filming Intolerable Cruelty.
She shared: “The day after, I went to my doctor. I came home and told Michael. He let out a whoop.
“I never wanted Dylan to be an only child. Because of my amazing relationship with my siblings, I couldn’t see him being the Little Lord Dylan on his own.”
The couple welcomed their daughter Carys Zeta Douglas on Easter Sunday in 2003.
Cancer ordeal
In September 2010, Douglas was diagnosed with throat cancer and was undergoing radiation and chemotherapy to treat a tumour at the base of his tongue.
Zeta Jones commented: “The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired. If there’s anything Michael has, it’s strength.”
Thankfully, in January 2011, he revealed on Today that he got the all-clear: “I feel good, relieved. The tumor is gone. But, you know, I have to check out on a monthly basis now to maintain.”
Following his final cancer treatment, the celebrity couple took their children on a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida for Thanksgiving.
Douglas said: “There’s a much deeper feeling. And I’ve talked to other cancer survivors about this, that — that happens, that you just really, really appreciate what’s important in life.”
Break-up
Much to Hollywood’s shock, Douglas and Zeta Jones did separate in August 2013, with a source telling People that the stress of his cancer battle and her struggles with bipolar II disorder had taken its toll.
However, later that year, Douglas positively updated People: “We’re working things out, talking, and we’ll see how she goes.”
This wasn’t the end of their marriage with the famous couple reuniting once again and proving happier than ever.
Opening up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show two years later, Douglas said: “It can’t be a one-way street. But I’m crazy about her. And yeah, I think every couple has their difficult times.
“The only problem is, as you well know, we’re all in the public eye, and it tends to get a little more exposed than most. We’re back stronger than ever.”
Loved-up
Twenty-five years after getting married, Douglas and Zeta-Jones have remained one of the most stable couples in the world of entertainment.
And going from her Valentine’s Day post last year, romance is still very much part of their lives.
Sharing a cute black and white photo of them, she penned: “Happy Valentines Day to my love Michael. Sealed with a kiss.”
In a separate post, Douglas wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day to my darling Catherine! Love you always and forever.”
