CATHERINE ZETA-JONES & MICHAEL DOUGLAS 25-YEAR MARRIAGE CURSE!

Her career's taking her across the world - and he's desperate to follow

- 

With her children finally grown up and flown the nest, and her husband on unofficial retirement from acting, Catherine Zeta-Jones has spent the year reigniting her career, filming in Romania, France, Spain and Ireland.

And as she continues to dazzle on a press tour for upcoming release Wednesday, those in the Welsh beauty's inner circle say that as her 25 wedding anniversary looms, the actress, 55, is struggling with how to balance her reemerging career and the needs of her newly retired husband Michael Douglas.

According to sources, Catherine had hoped that Michael's decision to step back from acting in 2022 would free her up to do more work, especially with their children Carys, 22, and Dylan, 25, moving out and on. But instead, it's had the reverse effect - now Michael, 80, has too much free time and all he wants to do is spend it with her!
