Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are the definition of “power couple.”
“I had been told Michael Douglas wanted to meet me,” Zeta-Jones told Larry King in 2001 of the pair’s 1998 introduction. “I was a little nervous because I didn’t quite know what he wanted to meet me about.”
Douglas, meanwhile, knew immediately that the duo would have a future together — but worried that a cheesy pickup line might have ruined his chances.
“I said to her after about half an hour [of hanging out], ‘You know, I’m going to be the father of your children,’” he revealed during a 2016 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show. “It sounded good, and she said, ‘You know, I’ve heard a lot about you and I’ve seen a lot about you, and I think it’s time I say goodnight.’”
To correct his mistake, he sent her flowers and an apology, which worked as Douglas proposed to his love in 1999 and they said “I do” nearly one year later. They are the parents of a son, Dylan, and daughter, Carys.
