Catherine Zeta-Jones is ”thrilled” about Michael Douglas’ recent Emmy Awards win.
As he picked up the award for Best Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie Award for HBO’s ‘Behind The Candelabra’ at the ceremony, Michael, 68, took the opportunity to praise his estranged wife and Catherine couldn’t be happier for him.
She told ‘Access Hollywood’: ”I’m thrilled for him. It was wonderful – so well-deserved.”
Michael has been open about his rocky marriage to the Welsh beauty, acknowledging the long-term couple are on ”a break”, but are hoping to resolve their differences.
He said: ”Catherine is great. She is doing wonderful, talked to her [and] just got a lovely note from her. I’m very hopeful that we’re going to work things out.
”As I said we’re just taking a break, a couple of issues, sometimes you gotta do that.”
Michael and Catherine – who first began dating in March 1999 and have children Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10, together – have not been pictured together since announcing their separation in August, with the veteran actor choosing to attend the Emmys solo.
He is said to be taking refuge in New York City, staying with his friend George Soros while he works on his 13-year marriage.
