Hollywood power couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have rekindled their romance as Catherine moves back into their New York apartment just six months after their marriage separation.
The 44-year-old Chicago actress made the move shortly after Michael, 69, was spotted wearing his wedding ring again at the premiere of his new movie, Last Vegas.
“He’s back with estranged wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and he couldn’t be happier,” a US report said.
“He was overheard telling pals that the two have reconciled.”
The famous couple split in May this year and have been living separately since, but recently Hollywood heavyweight Michael told NBC host Jay Leno he believed it was not the end for the loving pair.
“Sometimes people take a little bit of a break, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the end. I’m very hopeful,” Michael said.
When prompted further by Jay as to how his relationship with Catherine was going, the star was positive.
“Good I hope. I’ve been away for a while but everything should hopefully be on the up and up,” he said.
The star-studded love affair began in 1998, when Michael and Welsh actress Catherine, who is 25 years his junior, met in France. The couple married in November 2000 and have two children together, Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10.
The US source at the centre of reconciliation claims says their time apart has not distanced the two but instead helped them make each a priority in the other’s life again.
“They know they have some problems but are speaking every day and scheduling future projects with each other in mind,” the source said.
“They’re both wearing their rings; what more is there to say?”
