Marriage as a gem
Take it from Catherine Zeta-Jones’ mother-in-law, the actress Diana Dill David and Kirk Douglas’ first wife, who married again by the time she was 80.
Marriage is like precious jewelery. If you can’t afford to lose it then you have to take care of it. Or better yet, don’t wear it.
Diana might be referring to her daughter-in-law’s expensive gems. She warned Catherine she must only wear things she is prepared to lose. Catherine took this as an advice to her marriage.
Accidentally, the Welsh actress is the current model of the luxury jewels house Di Modolo.
“I carry a lot of jewellery with me, but I often get worried something is going to happen. My mother-in-law says that a woman should never put something on you can’t afford to lose.”
Catherine and actor Michael Douglas have been married since November 2000. Recently, while the actress worked on the American remake of the German film “Bella Martha,” “No Reservations,” there were reports that she and costar Aaron Eckhart became close that stung the relationship with her husband. The once-divorced Michael was spotted alone with their children Dylan Michael Douglas, 7, and Carys Zeta Douglas, 4.
He and ex-wife Diandra Luker Douglas of 23 years have one child, Cameron. She got $45 million out of divorce settlements.
The actress promised herself never to get divorced saying that “marriage is a life-long commitment.”
“I fell in love with my husband at first sight, and I still feel the same way. At some point, my little babies are going to run out of the nest and I don’t want to look at Michael and say, ‘Hey, remember us?’ I’ll never get divorced, never!”
Who could resist Michael? Catherine told Parade (July 2007 issue, via Sydney Morning Herald) that the actor charmed him by using the line “I want to father your children.” Months later the two were dating and Catherine was in loved.
Though some sources revealed that Catherine would like to have another baby, she admitted that their to two children are enough.
