Despite a 25-year age gap and challenges, such as long separation and health issues, Zeta-Jones and Douglas have managed to stay together for almost a quarter of a century.
Zeta-Jones opened up about the ups and downs of their relationship, including Douglas’s battle with tongue cancer and her own diagnosis of bipolar disorder. But despite it all, the couple found their way back to each other in 2014 after a brief split in 2013.

Despite being in the public eye, Zeta-Jones and Douglas have managed to defy the odds and maintain a strong and happy marriage for over 2 decades. Their commitment to their family have been instrumental in their successful union.

Zeta-Jones further elaborated on her relationship with Douglas and how they’ve managed to stay together for almost 25 years. She reflected on the craziness of marriage, jokingly comparing it to buying a Chanel purse that you may eventually fall out of love with and put up for resale.
Despite the ups and downs, Zeta-Jones has a deep love for her husband and has urged that their 25-year age gap never plays a role in their relationship.
The couple also enjoys going on vacations together and sometimes shares lovely moments from their trips with their fans who are thrilled to see the happy couple still going strong.
