Michael Douglas was once married to Diandra Luker, but he is currently happily married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. Before they ended their relationship, he spent over twenty years working with Luker.
Before deciding to part ways, Michael Douglas and his ex-wife Diandra Luker were wed for eighteen years. After Michael was forced to pay his ex-wife $45 million, their divorce became the most expensive in Hollywood history.
He is currently wed to Catherine Zeta-Jones, 59, a fellow Oscar-winning actor. Dylan Douglas, 23, and Carys Zeta Douglas, 21, are the couple’s children.
However, Douglas is not married to Catherine for the first time. He had previously been married, but the marriage was expensive for him.
When Michael Douglas and Diandra Luker, 68, got married in 1977, they had just experienced enormous success with the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” And they welcomed their son Cameron Douglas a year later.
It has been stated that after their divorce in 2000, Michael was ordered to pay his ex-wife a total of forty-five million dollars.
She furthermore received their combined Santa Barbara, California, house. But Diandra’s work did not end there. She returned to court in 2011 with a new claim for money.
This time, Diandra insisted that she should receive half of the money her husband received from the follow-up to the first movie, citing her support of him during the filming of Wall Street. However, the outcome of her legal proceedings would be crucial because Michael Douglas had only received a cancer diagnosis two months prior. After that, Diandra was charged with extorting money from a sick man.
She ultimately made the decision to speak out about the situation after enduring so much criticism.
The woman uttered, “Michael, I, and the gods were unaware of Michael’s illness.” “I am not into going after sick people for things that don’t belong to me,” she continued.
Since Diandra lost the case, her ex-husband stopped giving her money.
Until 2019, Diandra led an opulent life in Mallorca, so it appears that she has no financial concerns.
The villa she had occupied with her ex-husband Michael Douglas, named “S’Estaca,” is situated in a lovely spot with a view of the sea and the Sa Foradada cliffs. On a sizable property of 100 hectares, the mansion is said to have 10 bedrooms, a loft, two cottages, terraces, a pool, a wine cellar, and private access to the sea.
Douglas acquired Diandra’s portion of the villa in 2019, and it appears that she has since relocated to Ibiza, where she now frequents and frequently posts photos on social media.
Along with her in Ibiza are her 20-year-old twins, Hudson and Hawk, whom she conceived through a surrogate relationship with her former partner Zach Hampton Bacon III, and her 2005 daughter, Imara de Morrell Douglas, whom Diandra adopted from Russia.
The New York Post claims that in 2022, Diandra also sold an apartment in New York for an incredible $17 million.
