Yes, Kirk Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones Are Technically Related

When Catherine Zeta-Jones [1] hit the stage with legendary actor Kirk Douglas [2] at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, many people were wondering just why the Chicago star was chosen to honour the 101-year-old with a tribute to his work before presenting the award for best screenplay together. The answer is actually pretty simple: Catherine is Kirk's daughter-in-law. She married Kirk's son Michael Douglas [3] in 2000, and they are proud parents to son Dylan and daughter Carys [4].

While Catherine and Michael briefly separated in 2013 [5], they were able to put the past behind them and now seem stronger than ever. Catherine seems to have a very close relationship to her father-in-law, Kirk, whom she honoured on Instagram in December when he turned 101 [6]. While it isn't known why Michael wasn't in attendance at the Globes on Sunday, Catherine looked more than happy to present with her family member.
