Sept. 25 marks a very special day for married couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. They are both celebrating their birthdays, with Douglas turning 80 and Zeta-Jones turning 55. Zeta-Jones shared a very sexy photo to celebrate and joked, “In my birthday suit! After over 25 years of sharing my birthday day with my husband, I am running out of gift ideas! This is gift option two, golf balls being option one … of course 🤣”

While the two have a pretty large age difference, they haven’t let it stop them. They have been married for almost 25 years and share two children together, Dylan and Carys, who are now all grown up and pursuing careers of their own.

When they met back in 1998, Douglas reportedly knew she was the one right away, but Zeta-Jones needed a little convincing. Douglas explained in a previous interview, “I said to her after about half an hour [of hanging out], ‘You know, I’m going to be the father of your children.’ It sounded good, and she said, ‘You know, I’ve heard a lot about you, and I’ve seen a lot about you, and I think it’s time I say good night.’”

Something must have changed her mind because they eventually began dating, got married and had their two children. They seem to be going strong and are always posting snaps of having fun together, despite two busy acting schedules.
