Written by . Published: August 28 2013
Superstar couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have separated.
Rumors began to swirl over the weekend (24-25Aug13) that the couple, who wed in 2000 and have two children, were heading for a split, and now a representative for the actress has confirmed they have split.
The rep says, "Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to
evaluate and work on their marriage."
The Wall Street actor, 68, and his Welsh wife, 43, have not been
snapped in public together since April (13), and People.com reports
the stress of Douglas' cancer battle in 2010 and Traffic star
Zeta-Jones' bipolar disorder has taken its toll on their
marriage.
