Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones split

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have split. The pair — who haven’t been photographed together since April 22 — are said to be taking a break.

Catherine and Michael have walked red carpets solo, vacationed separately with their kids, and in recent days, Douglas has been relaxing on a yacht off the coast of Sardinia – with Zeta-Jones at home in New York, People magazine reports.

Sources say neither star has filed for divorce or moved toward a legal separation.

The pair married in 2000, and have faced more than their fair share of ups and downs over the last three years – between Douglas’s 2010 cancer battle and Zeta-Jones’s struggles with bipolar II disorder.

“The stress has taken a toll on their marriage,” a source said.

Douglas, 68, and Zeta-Jones, 43, who have two children, Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10, together, decided to spend time apart soon after he came back from the Cannes Film Festival in May. Zeta-Jones had recently returned from a scheduled second round of treatment to monitor her bipolar disorder.

“They want the best for their kids, no matter what happens,” a source said.
