Catherine Zeta‑Jones has publicly said she has not finished reading Michael Douglas’ memoir, offering a sassy explanation, according to Page Six. BBC later quoted Douglas describing marriage as “a lot of work” while recalling their 2013 split. Entertainment Weekly asked whether Zeta‑Jones had read the candid book, and Yahoo reported her “tired” reaction and highlighted a marriage rule Douglas claims changed everything. The tone differs between a light‑hearted excuse and a weary response, but both confirm she remains unfinished.
Future coverage will focus on any additional remarks from either spouse as the memoir’s publication nears, and on whether Zeta‑Jones' explanation influences public perception of the couple’s relationship. Yahoo’s earlier piece also cited the rule Douglas says reshaped their partnership, suggesting the memoir may contain further personal insights.
