Catherine Zeta-Jones was told romance with Michael Douglas would never last

Wednesday actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has admitted that nobody thought her marriage to Michael Douglas ‘would ever last' as the couple prepare to celebrate a huge wedding milestone.

55-year-old Catherine is about to celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary with 80-year-old Michael, but many doubted that their relationship would stand the test of time due to their age gap.

Despite their 25-year age gap, the loved-up couple have proven that age is just a number as Catherine has described their life together as full of ‘love and fun’. The couple are also proud parents to 25-year-old Dylan and 22-year-old Carys. It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.

The couple officially tied the knot in the year 2000 in a lavish ceremony in New York, and Catherine recently opened up on people doubting their relationship. She told The Sun: “We’ve been married 25 years, it’s something to celebrate. And they said it would never last! It’s a journey of learning and loving and fun, and the prospect of reaching a 25-year anniversary is really quite thrilling. I remember my mum and dad celebrating theirs”.

Speaking of her big anniversary, Catherine said she will be filming for Wednesday on the actual day but they think there will be a party coming up soon for it.

She said: “I think I’ll be shooting season three of Wednesday, but we will be celebrating. We’ll do something around the holidays. But 25 years is a big one. It’s a real milestone. We’re excited. I think we are going to be doing a party around the holidays because I will be shooting. We also have our birthdays, which we share [25 September], so it’s going to be pretty busy!”

Catherine previously reflected on the 'up-and-downs' of her marriage. The loved-up couple did briefly separate in 2013 but came back together the following year.

In an 2023 interview with The Telegraph, the actress said: “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!"

Despite their ups and downs, Catherine said they are ‘very good together’ and that she never really felt like he was 25 years older.

Catherine plays the iconic Morticia Adams in Wednesdays with Jenna Ortega playing the role of the protagonist, Wednesday Addams.

It is no secret that Lady Gaga has been cast for the second series of the show, however, she was nowhere to be seen in part one on Netflix. Lady Gaga's character is described as a mysterious figure, a legendary Nevermore teacher who encounters Wednesday.

Wednesday season 2 part 1 is available on Netflix, with part 2 set to be released on 3 September.
