Michael Douglas Broke Up With 5 Women for Catherine Zeta-Jones Relationship

Michael Douglas changed completely for Catherine Zeta-Jones. 

In the Fatal Attraction star’s new memoir One Helluva Ride, out Oct. 6, he owned up to his past playboy behavior, admitting he had to end relationships with five women when his romance with The Mask of Zorro actress in the late 1990s became official. 

“From the moment I met Catherine and we formed a family,” Douglas wrote in the memoir, per The Los Angeles Times, “I was a new man.”

Indeed, Douglas—dad to Cameron Douglas, 47, with ex Diandra Luker, as well as Dylan Douglas, 26, and Carys Douglas, 22, with Zeta-Jones—didn’t hold back in the memoir when it came to his relationship history.

Indeed, he admitted he was unfaithful in his first marriage, also confirming affairs with his Romancing the Stone costar Kathleen Turner, as well as Basic Instinct costar Jeanne Tripplehorn.

However, Douglas did shut down decades of speculation that he was having an affair with his other Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone.
