“Happy happy Birthday to two of the greatest people I know…here’s to many more years filled with Love and Happiness,” Cameron wrote.
Michael and Zeta-Jones have two children together, daughter Carys Douglas, 23, and son Dylan Douglas, 26.
The couple first met at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998 and married in 2000. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on November 18 last year.
For their silver wedding anniversary, Zeta-Jones shared memories from their wedding day at New York City’s Plaza Hotel, where guests included Goldie Hawn, Steven Spielberg and Sharon Stone.
“25 years ago today, I walked down the aisle,” Zeta-Jones wrote at the time, recalling the flowers, candles, Welsh choir and the moment she saw Douglas waiting for her at the end of the aisle. She added that she loved him as much as she had on their wedding day.
Zeta-Jones’ birthday celebration came only days after she marked another family milestone: her father David Jones’ 80th birthday on September 17.
The actress shared a selfie with her father on Instagram and Facebook, writing, “Happy Happy 80th Birthday Dad!!” She also expressed her love and gratitude for having him as her father.
The birthday celebrations offered another glimpse into the close family life Zeta-Jones and Douglas have shared throughout their long marriage.
