A Silver Celebration for Hollywood Icons
Oscar-winning stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, 56, and Michael Douglas, 81, presented a united front of marital bliss this weekend, strolling hand-in-hand at the exhilarating Las Vegas Grand Prix. This public outing came hot on the heels of the couple celebrating a monumental personal milestone: their 25th wedding anniversary.
From The Plaza to the Paddock
The pair, who famously tied the knot at New York's iconic The Plaza Hotel in November 2000, have built a formidable life together since first meeting at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998. Their family began with the birth of their son, Dylan Michael Douglas, who is now 25 and joined his parents for their recent Formula 1 excursion.
For the high-octane date night, the Wednesday star showcased her signature chic style. She opted for a sophisticated ensemble of black and white striped trousers paired with a sleek long-sleeved black top. Catherine carried a white bag over her shoulder and wisely shielded herself from the elements with an umbrella.
Michael, meanwhile, embraced a more casual look, keeping a low profile in a cap and a gilet layered over a white long-sleeved top. The couple's evident closeness during the event was a public reflection of the deep bond they had been celebrating privately.
Reflecting on a Quarter-Century Together
Earlier in the month, Catherine had taken to Instagram to mark their silver anniversary with a deeply emotional post. She shared a carousel of cherished throwback photos, including:
- A snap from their wedding day, showing them kissing on the grand marble steps of The Plaza.
- A photo from their first meeting at the 1998 Deauville Film Festival.
- Images from their travels, including a romantic pose in front of the Taj Mahal.
Her heartfelt caption vividly recalled her wedding day, mentioning the 'intoxicating aroma of flowers' and the 'resounding harmonious Welsh choir.' She poignantly addressed her husband, writing, 'I love you today as I did then. Thank you sweetheart.' The post was flooded with well-wishes from fellow A-listers like Joy Sunday and Emilio Rivera.
The strength of their relationship has been tested and proven over the years, notably when Michael was diagnosed with stage IV throat cancer in 2010. After a tough battle, he was declared cancer-free in 2011. He has since reflected that the experience made him 'a free man,' a perspective that has undoubtedly enriched their lasting partnership.
