Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are officially the parents of TWO college graduates with their daughter Carys Douglas' recent convocation.
Michael, 80, and Catherine, 55, share son Dylan Douglas, 24, and daughter Carys, 22, both of whom are now alums of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Carys graduated from the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, coincidentally graduating in the same batch as other celebrity scion like James Wilkie Broderick (the son of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick) and Elliott Stephanopoulos (the daughter of George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth).

However, two photos from the set stood out most, capturing her emotional reactions to having her parents by her side. In one snap, she is seen tightly hugging her mom Catherine, holding back the tears.
In another, she and dad Michael lovingly look at each other, the spitting image of the Oscar winning actress, holding onto her degree and a large bouquet of white orchids. "Thank you thank you thank you," she simply captioned her post.

Many of her friends reacted with comments like: "So proud of you, can't believe it all went so fast," and: "You Rocked it!! Look at all the fabulous wonders that are just BURSTING to propel joy for your Life!! Go get em!!! Brown Rocks!" as well as: "Congrats!!! Finally you'll never need to learn anything ever again!!"

"The night before graduation!!!! We are both such proud parents right now!! It's only just begun!!" she gushed.
Her older brother Dylan made a name for himself after graduation in the Gen-Z political sphere, starting a radio show titled Young American with Dylan Douglas, conducting interviews and facilitating conversations that specifically impacted Gen-Z voters in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.

Carys, meanwhile, spent her time at Brown honing her skills as a musician while also involving herself in small projects and short films. Her acting credits include acclaimed shorts like F*ck That Guy, Shell and The Holy Devil, plus a credit as an assistant director on the 2022 short August (coincidentally starring Homer Gere, the son of Catherine's Chicago co-star Richard Gere).
