Michael Douglas’ Kids Dylan & Carys Support Him During Rare Appearance

Michael Douglas Broke Up With 5 Women After Going Public With Catherine Zeta-Jones Romance

Michael Douglas was no solitary man during his latest outing.

The Basic Instinct actor was supported by his son Dylan, 26, and daughter Carys, 23—who he shares with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones—as he was honored at the Art of Freedom Gala 2026 Nov. 4.

Michael received a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Tibet House US at the event in New York, honoring his decades of peace activism and longtime role as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, a role he's held since 1998.

The 82-year-old sported a navy suit, posing alongside Dylan, who opted for a walnut-colored suit over a patterned shirt, and Carys, who wore a long-sleeved black top tucked into a tea-length khaki skirt adorned with an irregular pattern of sequins for the occasion.

After the event, Michael—who also shares son Cameron, 47, with ex-wife Diandra Luker—shared a photo of himself posing with his youngest children at the event.

"A wonderful night in NYC with @carys.douglas and @dylan__douglas," he wrote on Instagram. "Thank you to @tibethouse.us for honoring me with the Art of Freedom Award. Truly grateful for this special recognition and for such a memorable evening!"

And while Catherine wasn't able to attend the gala, their family's outing comes after the Wednesday actress recently opened up about what has made her and Michael's 26-year marriage last.

“Being kind to each other,” she told E! News last month. “And we have a very similar, sick, dry sense of humor. Which, in any circumstance that you find yourself in, within 28 years—we were two years together before we go married—you’ve got to find humor in it. It may not be funny at the time, but you got to look back at it and go, ‘You gotta laugh at that now, remember when that happened?’”

In addition to patience, the 57-year-old also cited giving one another “free reign” to pursue projects that appeal to them as a key to making their relationship work.

“He loves nothing more than when he sees the joy my acting brings me,” Catherine explained. “I don’t want to be away from him for seven months, coming back and forth, but we make it work. We always find those times and those long weekends where we can reconnect, and then off we go.”

Michael isn't the only star to step out with his kids lately. Keep reading for more about celebs and their mini-mes...
