Michael and Catherine married in November 2000

Catherine and Michael met at the Deauville American Film Festival in France in August 1998 after being introduced to one another by none other than Danny DeVito.

Michael and Catherine started dating and became engaged on New Year's Eve in 1999 at his Aspen home after he proposed with a $1 million diamond ring. They went on to tie the knot in November 2000.

Although the couple experienced many ups and downs throughout their marriage - including a six-month split in 2013 - they have remained tight as ever.
