In a recent report, popular Hollywood celebrity-couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have separated. Sources revealed that the couple have not filed a divorce but are “taking a break.”
Though the couple have been married since the year 2000, they have not been photographed together for quite some time. Zeta-Jones is often seen on red carpet walks, alone. Sources indicate that the reason behind the split is the very fact that Michael has been battling with cancer for the last three years and Zeta-Jones has been struggling with bipolar II disorder. ”The stress has taken a toll on their marriage.” said a personal friend to the couple.
When contacted by the source, Zeta-Jones’ representative indicated “Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage. There will be no further comment.”
