In 2000, Hollywood movie stars Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas spent $1.5 million on a grand wedding.
At the wedding, the bride Zeta Jones wrote happiness completely on her face, and she disregarded her goddess image and laughed unscrupulously, laughing out of a mouthful of teeth, compared to Douglas, who was 25 years older than her, who looked much more subtle.
Zeta and Douglas stood on the stairs together kissing and cutting a big wedding cake together, and while listening to the oath, Zeta Jones put her hand on Douglas's chest, as if to feel his heartbeat.
This "mismatched" marriage looked so happy at first.
Zeta Jones was a film goddess in the 1990s, who won the All England Tap Dance Championship and was in the entertainment industry of the United Kingdom, France and the United States, until he became famous with "Zorro's Mask".
And Douglas is the son of the legendary film emperor Kirk, the Oscar film emperor, super gold absorption ability, a movie in the nineties can cut hundreds of millions of box office, or the first generation of Ant-Man actors.
Before marrying Zeta Jones, his ex-wife, Diane della Luke, was a famous beauty in Hollywood.
Zeta Jones and Douglas fell in love, thanks to the movie "Zorro's Mask".
Zeta Jones was just in her youth, and when Douglas watched the movie, a pair of eyes obsessively stared at her, saying that she was the most perfect woman he had ever seen, and two years later, he chased Zeta Jones to the hand.
After marrying Douglas, Zeta Jones's career began to flourish.
In 2000, Zeta Jones was nominated for a supporting actress at the 58th Golden Globe Awards, and in 2002, she won the 75th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming a member of the Oscar Little Golden Man Club.
For Zeta Jones, marrying Douglas was the happiest thing in her life, after all, she not only liked Douglas, but also admired Douglas's father, the legendary emperor Kirk Douglas.
Kirk Douglas was also so happy with his beautiful daughter-in-law that every time he finished talking to his son Douglas on the phone, he would ask Zeta Jones to answer, and the two would talk alone.
I thought that this family-friendly relationship could be smoothly extended to old age, but the next thing that happened was to tear off the false mask of this marriage.
In 2002, Douglas was first filmed derailed by paparazzi.
In 2008, Douglas and his ex-wife's 31-year-old son, Cameron Douglas, were sentenced to five years in prison because of his father's poor education.
Husbands cheating, stepsons in jail, life is really a chicken feather for zeta Jones, who lives in middle age.
In the few years when public opinion was the biggest, everyone thought she would divorce.
If Zeta Jones and Douglas break up, she will be guaranteed for the rest of her life, and she will receive $2.8 million in compensation, and Douglas will have to pay another $5 million in damages, but she did not give up the relationship directly.
In 2010, on the tenth anniversary of their marriage, Douglas was diagnosed with throat cancer, which cast another dark cloud of misfortune on the marriage.
The media also broke the news, saying that the reason why Glass was diagnosed with throat cancer was because there were too many women he had interacted with.
Soon after this, Zeta Jones fell ill with a serious mental illness and had to undergo psychological counseling and treatment.
In 2013, Zeta Jones finally proposed separation.
Generally speaking, separation is a precursor to divorce, as long as the two enter the process of separation, they are not far from dividing up property and fighting divorce lawsuits.
Douglas was obsessed with the love field hunting, always merciless, was the wrong party in this marriage, thought that Zeta Jones would be heartbroken, so away from him, did not expect things to turn around again.
After a year of separation, the two reunited, and their feelings became rock solid.
After this marriage vignette, douglas the prodigal son turned back, but their marriage, every three to five years, there will still be some small tests.
For example, a former Douglas employee sued him for harassing himself; The Hollywood Reporter writer Susan Baudy also said that Douglas had made indecent gestures against her in public.
But this time, in the face of these endless small tests in the marriage, Zeta Jones chose to be indifferent, and the feelings between her and Douglas were no longer affected by anything, and they often went on romantic dates together.
In November 2020, the two celebrated their twenty-year wedding anniversary, and Zeta Jones specially produced an electronic photo album celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, confessing to her husband that they had loved "7304 days and nights".
In March 2022, Zeta Jones and Douglas also went on a high-profile date at a Hollywood restaurant.
After the date, the two walked out of the restaurant one after the other, Zeta Jones reached the age of 52, still bright and moving, as white as snow illuminated by the magnesium lamp, wearing a holiday dress Shi Shiran walked out of the restaurant, walking with the wind, facing the camera, and smiling mischievously.
Douglas then walked out of the restaurant, wearing a black suit and a blue shirt, and the 77-year-old was still in good spirits, although he was not old.
Four months after the date, zeta Jones's family traveled together to show up at the French resort of Cannes.
The family's position at that time revealed their respective family relationships: Zeta Jones and Douglas were far away, while a pair of children walked closely to their father Douglas.
Zeta Jones wears a black starry sky dress and walks domineeringly on the side, revealing the aura of "hilarity has nothing to do with me".
Their 19-year-old daughter Kelis and 21-year-old son Dylan have grown up, wearing black sunglasses, walking with the wind, looking very cool, handsome and beautiful.
Zeta Jones also once posted a picture of Douglas lying on the bed, eyes closed, the little pet dog sticking out a paw and touching his forehead, he pretended to be helpless, his brow was locked, but there was no real anger at first glance.
Such a scene makes people realize that perhaps, outsiders see the appearance of marriage, thinking that Douglas is a rebellious and bad husband, but in fact, in the eyes of Zeta Jones and his children, he is a good man who is docile and carefree; Thinking that Zeta Jones insisted on not divorcing for 22 years was seduced by love, in fact, she still had a happy life after ignoring her husband's gossip.
From another point of view, Zeta Jones has a husband, a handsome son, and a beautiful daughter in the half of his life, and he is still very confident and dazzling at the age of more than half a hundred, which can also be regarded as a "successful marriage" in another sense.
