And even though the couple has been trying to keep a low profile in the celebrity world these days, Douglas admits that he's going to be in the spotlight for some time, thanks to their busy work schedules. Both Douglas and Zeta-Jones have quite a few projects lined up this year.

He said, "I've got to promote 'Antman' till I'm another year older, 'til I'm 78 or something, Catherine's got a fun picture she's looking forward to doing. We try for as much as much as we can for the summer to be with the kids."

The Welsh-born beauty added, "We like to be with the children."

Even though the couple separated back in 2013, they have been working on their marriage ever since. They first tied the knot back in 2000 in New York City.
