Celebrity spouses like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are the definition of “power couple.”
Douglas and Zeta-Jones were first introduced in 1998. “I had been told Michael Douglas wanted to meet me,” she told Larry King in 2001. “I was a little nervous because I didn’t quite know what he wanted to meet me about.”
Meanwhile, he 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.’”
