Michael Douglas, the renowned Hollywood actor, has long been a subject of public fascination, especially regarding his romantic life. His marriage to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has recently come under scrutiny, with reports suggesting that the couple may be living separate lives while remaining married on paper.
Douglas first gained public attention for his tumultuous love life, which includes a six-year relationship with actress Brenda Vaccaro in the 1970s. He then married Diandra Luker in 1977, a union that lasted nearly two decades before ending in a highly publicized divorce in 1995, with Luker receiving a settlement of $45 million.
In 2000, Douglas married Zeta-Jones, and the couple welcomed two children together. However, their relationship has faced challenges, including a period of separation reported in 2013. Despite these issues, Douglas claimed their marriage was stronger than ever in 2015.
Recent allegations from RadarOnline suggest that Douglas and Zeta-Jones may be living separately, with an insider stating, 'The marriage is over, but they don’t want to finalize the divorce.' This arrangement reportedly suits them as it keeps their private lives out of the public eye.
The couple has maintained a façade of unity, and as of early 2025, there have been no official reports of a marital split. Zeta-Jones even celebrated her birthday last year with a risqué Instagram post, which many interpreted as a sign that their marriage remains intact. Whatever the reality, it seems both actors are adept at keeping the details of their personal lives under wraps.
