Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas’s six-year marriage is at breaking point once again, after months of bitter fighting.
“The cracks have been showing for quite some time now,” says a friend. “They used to spend loads of time together. Not any more. Back when they first got together and had really hectic schedules, they always made time for one another. But now, with endless time on their hands, they can barely stand being together.
“Whenever they’re in the same room it usually turns into a blazing row,” the friend reports. “It’s a very combustible situation.”
Michael infuriated Catherine recently when he joked with reporters he wanted to star in a movie with his wife so he could “off” her, saying, “I’d be the villain, because nobody likes older guys with younger women. We’ll get her a young leading man and I’ll be the bad guy. And I’ll ‘off’ one of them.”
Insiders say it is no coincidence Michael’s “joke” came after Catherine was photographed holding hands with her 39-year-old No Reservations co-star Aaron Eckhart during an awards show in Miami.
