Michael Douglas denied there’s any “crisis” in his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, despite reports the couple recently split.
“We, we are fine. My wife and I are, are fine. We take a temporary separation — but the press, it gives you stuff to write about,” he told a reporter in Berlin, according to ABC News.
“I have a crisis at home? No, I think the press has a crisis,” he said.
Last week, Douglas, 68, said that he and Zeta-Jones, 43, were “taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage.”
The couple separated due to stress from his battle with oral cancer and Zeta-Jones’s struggle with bipolar disorder, sources have said in the past.
But they aren’t ready to call it quits, Douglas said in Berlin while promoting his Liberace biopic “Behind the Candelabra.”
After a reporter asked why he’s still wearing his wedding ring, he responded, “I’m married.”
The pair, married for 13 years, have two kids together.
