Catherine Zeta Jones<\/strong>And Michael Douglas<\/strong>In 2000, they were married. Even before their wedding, everyone assumed the romance wouldn\u2019t last. These two are the subject of many divorce rumors. There\u2019s one simple reason inquiring minds expect a split.<\/p>\n

From Different Eras<\/h2>\n

Zeta Jones’ and Michael Douglas’ age difference is the source of frustration in tabloids. The Ocean\u2019s Twelve<\/em>Star was born in 1969 and Douglas in 1944. They were both born coincidentally on September 25, just 25 years apart. He\u2019s effectively old enough to be her father.<\/p>\n

What does Catherine Zeta Jones Feel?<\/h2>\n

Zeta Jones visited the United States in 2001, just a year after their relationship began. Larry King Live<\/em>Promote America\u2019s Sweethearts<\/em>. Larry King asked her about their early years together and what she thought about the age gap. King\u2019s wife, Shawn Southwick, was 26 years younger than him. He stated \u201cit works, though right?\u201dZeta-Jones kindly replied, \u201cso you\u2019re one of the rare people in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Zeta-Jones justifies the age gap<\/a>2001 \u201cWell, I think, historically, older men and younger women have been together. But all of a sudden, you come to a generation where it becomes, like, I don\u2019t know, another agenda going on. And when my mother was telling me about men and telling me the facts of life, she never actually put an age bracket on it. And it\u2019s so funny because Michael and my parents are the same age. So they\u2014my parents, when they see us together, never even question that there was a 25-year age difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The age difference never bothered Zeta-Jones or anyone in their families, yet it\u2019s still heralded as the main reason for a potential split. Last month The Globe<\/em> claimed Douglas couldn\u2019t keep up with Zeta-Jones because of their age difference. 2019 NW<\/em> believed the age gap would split Douglas and Zeta-Jones, yet they\u2019re still together.<\/p>\n

They’re not the only ones<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s another couple who see a disproportionate amount of divorce rumors caused by an age gap: Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart. They have been together for 23 years, almost as long as Zeta Jones and Douglas. Tabloids constantly spew stories about Flockhart fearing for Ford\u2019s life because of his age, or simply the age gap causing a Ford divorce.<\/p>\n

Ford and Flockhart remain happily married, despite all the rumors. Zeta-Jones is also happy with Douglas. A significant age gap can be a problem for the people in the relationship more than it does for the couple. Everybody\u2019s different, and these couples clearly don\u2019t see the gap as a reason to break up.<\/p>\n
