Let’s talk about one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples—Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. If you’re a fan of their work or their relationship, you might already know they share the same birthday. September 25th is a special day for both of them, but as it turns out, Catherine’s not exactly thrilled about it anymore. During a recent appearance on Live! with Kelly and Ryan, Michael spilled the beans about his wife's feelings on the matter. Believe it or not, she’s over celebrating together and wants her own spotlight.
Michael Douglas Opens Up About Catherine’s Birthday Blues
Here’s what went down: Michael, who’s been in the spotlight for decades, revealed that while sharing a birthday sounded romantic when they first met, Catherine's now over it. “We both have the same birthday, 25 years apart,” Michael explained during the show. “Back in the day, it seemed like the ultimate romantic gesture. But now? She hates it! Catherine wants her own day, her own celebration. She deserves it, of course, but it’s funny how things change over time, isn’t it?”

This year, Catherine, who’s now 49, celebrated her birthday in style by giving Michael a sweet shout-out. She posted a video on Instagram featuring clips from his 1995 film The American President. It was her way of saying, “Happy Birthday, my love.” In the caption, she wrote, “Happy Birthday to my very own President! My husband Michael. I guess that makes me First Lady! Stranger things have happened! Go figure😂 Oops, it’s my birthday today too.😘”
18 Years of Love and Counting
As it turns out, November 18th isn’t just another day on the calendar for this power couple. That’s the day they’ll celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary. Over the years, they’ve been asked countless times how they’ve managed to stay together for so long. Catherine’s answer? It’s all about perseverance. “It’s a long road, and I think people today are so quick to throw in the towel on marriage,” she said in a 2016 interview. “You have to give it your best shot and not give up when the first problem arises, because that won’t be the last problem. There will be many more down the road.”
