Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have allegedly called it quits.
In its March 14 issue, New Idea claimed that Zeta-Jones skipped the SAGs awards because there was no reason for her to accompany Douglas at the awards show.
After all, the longtime couple has allegedly ended their marriage.
“Catherine’s absence was the talk of the SAGs especially since Michael was nominated for an award, and his son didn’t seem especially thrilled to be there. Catherine adores awards season. It’s very unlike her not to be here. It didn’t help that Catherine seemed to be over-enthusiastic about posting on Instagram in support of her husband without offering any explanation as to why she wasn’t with him, and Michael was in no mood to talk about it,” the source said.
But other sources are saying that Zeta-Jones skipped the awards show because she needed some time away from her husband. After all, not always being together can do wonders for their relationship.
On the contrary, other insiders are saying that Zeta-Jones and Douglas just might get used to being apart that their marriage would crumble for good.
“The time apart hasn’t been good for Catherine and Michael. Michael’s the kind of man who wants his wife around as much as possible, so the distance has caused strain between them. They’ve come back from the brink of a split before, so fingers crossed they can work through this,” the source said.
And if the rumors of a split will be proven to be true, the tabloid claimed that this would be the second time that Zeta-Jones and Douglas’ relationship considered filing for a divorce.
In 2013, the couple reportedly separated so that they can evaluate and work on their differences. But after their short split, Zeta-Jones and Douglas found their way back to each other.
However, if they will push through with their separation now, it’s highly likely for their marriage to really end in divorce.
Still, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt because there could a lot of reasons why Zeta-Jones didn’t accompany Douglas to the awards show.
It is possible that the actress was sick or that she had other engagements that’s why it was Douglas’ son that accompanied him there.
And Zeta-Jones did not explain her absence on social media because she didn’t think that it was a big deal.
