Michael Douglas Reveals Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Monogamy Ultimatum

Douglas says Zeta-Jones ended his dating life with a monogamy demand, and he made five breakup calls in one day, according to his memoir.

  • In his new memoir, One Helluva Ride, Michael Douglas reveals that Catherine Zeta-Jones issued an ultimatum during their courtship, demanding he end five concurrent relationships to pursue her exclusively.
  • After seeing Zeta-Jones perform in The Mask of Zorro, Douglas encountered her at the Deauville American Film Festival and was captivated. He told her that evening, "I'm going to be the father of your children."
  • Separated from his first wife, Diandra Douglas, the actor was dating five other women who understood his non-monogamous circumstances. Douglas later remarked, "I don't know if I slept with so many women. I was a healthy product of the '60s."
  • The couple married in New York in November 2000, solidifying a relationship spanning over two decades. They have two children together: Dylan Douglas, 26, and Carys Douglas, 23.
  • Beyond his private life, One Helluva Ride details Douglas's six-decade career, including his roles in Basic Instinct and Wall Street. The memoir also explores his affair with Kathleen Turner and his relationship with his father, Kirk Douglas.
