'Loving life' Catherine Zeta-Jones gushes over Michael Douglas on 15th wedding anniversary
THEY'VE definitely been through their ups and downs, but Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas now appear to be stronger than ever.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have been married for 15 years
The pair celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary yesterday and in true A-lister spirit, couldn't resist sharing a throwback snap on Instagram to mark the special day.
Catherine posted an adorable photograph of Michael kissing her head, alongside the message: "Happy Anniversary dearest Michael! Loving our life together, here's to the next 15!"
Fans immediately took to the social networking site to share their well wishes with the Hollywood couple, with one person posting: "Wow! Congratulations! love you both."
Another simply posted: "Beautiful couple," while one added: "God bless you both a life time of love."
Catherine and Michael first met at the Deauville Film Festival in France in August 1998, after they were introduced by their mutual friend Danny De Vito.
The Welsh beauty previously confessed flirty Michael’s first words to her were: "I'd like to father your children."
They started dating in March 1999, raising some eyebrows thanks to the 25 year age difference between them.
Michael then popped the question on New Year’s Eve, before they tied the knot on November 18 2000, in a lavish ceremony at New York’s Plaza Hotel.

Hollywood couple got married in 2000
The couple supported each other when the American actor was diagnosed with tongue cancer back in August 2010.
Michael underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment to treat the tumour, which the star attributed to a combination of stress, his previous alcohol abuse, years of heavy smoking and even oral sex.
In August 2013, it was reported the couple had began living separately earlier that year, but had not taken any legal action towards separation or divorce.
A representative for Catherine subsequently confirmed that they "are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage".
