In the message shared on his Instagram page, along with a photo of the couple on a golf course, Douglas wrote: “To my birthday sister — what a joy to celebrate another year with you!”.
Douglas’ words to his wife left fans confused, and many questioned why the actor referred to Zeta-Jones as “sister.”
“That’s his wife, not his sister. What does he mean by birthday sister?” asked one.
“Did you just call your wife your sister? Or am I tripping?” wrote another.
“That’s his wife, not his sister. What does he mean by birthday sister?” repeated a third.
The truth is that the couple was born on the same day, September 25, but 25 years apart. The actress, who turned 56, also used social media to congratulate her husband on his 81st birthday.
Alongside a series of photos of the couple, Zeta-Jones captioned: “Happy birthday, Michael! Sharing this special day with you is something once in a lifetime!”.
