Catherine Zeta-Jones discusses marriage longevity and privacy

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has shared insights into the longevity of her 25-year marriage to Michael Douglas. In an interview with The Sunday Times Culture, she attributed their success to maintaining professional independence and personal space.

Zeta-Jones noted that their busy filming schedules allow for a balance of closeness and autonomy. She remarked that having the freedom to pursue individual projects, rather than constant daily togetherness, has been vital to their relationship.

The couple also discussed their decision to move to Bermuda to raise their children, Dylan and Carys. Zeta-Jones explained that the move was a response to the intense pressure of paparazzi in New York, describing the experience of taking their children to kindergarten amidst photographers as “terrible.” She stated that relocating to the island was the best decision they ever made for their family's privacy.
