Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are celebrating their daughter's graduation after she completed a film degree.
The 80-year-old actor and Zeta-Jones, 55, have been married since November 2000 and as well as their girl Carys they have son, Dylan, 24, who also attended Brown University – graduating in 2022, just like his sister.
Douglas– who is also father to 46-year-old son Cameron, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker, which lasted 18 years before ending in 2000 – marked Carys' milestone by posing for a photo that saw him and Catherine kissing Carys, 22, on each cheek as she stood in the middle of them beaming.
Zeta-Jones posted the snap on her Instagram and captioned it: "We are both such proud parents right now!! It's only just begun!!"
The image was taken the night before Carys' graduation ceremony, with her wearing a white full-length dress, while Douglas opted for a navy suit and Zeta-Jones was in a black two-piece suit.
Carys received her degree in Film and International Relations from the Ivy League university, located in Providence, Rhode Island.
Zeta-Jones, who starred in The Mask of Zorro, also posted more details from the celebrations on her Instagram stories, including a cake decorated with the message "Congratulations Graduation Class of 25" and group photos of Carys and her fellow graduates on the steps of the university.
Other images showed emotional embraces and joyful moments shared among the graduating class.
In a 2010 interview with AARP The Magazine, Douglas reflected on how fatherhood later in life had changed his perspective.
He said: "My career was the most important thing in my life, followed by marriage and children. And it's completely reversed now. I never anticipated starting a family and the joy of raising kids at my age."
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2024, Douglas also recounted an incident where he was mistaken for Carys' grandfather during a visit to the university.
He said: "This is not grandfather's day, this is parents' day. I say, 'I am a parent. That was a rough one."
Douglas also described how life had shifted as he and his wife entered a new phase of parenting.
He added: "Catherine and I have been together, it'll be 25 years this year. So it's been a good ride and I've been very fortunate, happy with the choices that I've made and now am kind of really backing off and smelling the roses a little more, traveling more."
The actor also called Carys and Dylan "extraordinary beings" and said they have been "a joy" to raise.
