In the course of their 18 year marriage, Zeta-Jones and Douglas have dealt with a ton of divorce rumors. Especially when they took a break in 2013. In a 2016 interview with Good Housekeeping, Catherine opened up about her relationship’s highs and lows, “It’s a long road and I think people today are so quick to throw in the towel on marriage. You have to give it your best shot and not give up when the first problem arises, because that won’t be the last problem. There will be many more down the road.” After this, not many tabloids have uttered the word “divorce”.
