Catherine also said the photo was taken by their friend, photographer Jean Pigozzi, during a night out in New York.

The mother of two, who shares her children with Michael, also posted a black-and-white photo of Michael to her Stories, writing: “Happy birthday to my husband.”

Meanwhile, Michael posted his own stunning photo of Catherine, writing: ‘To my birthday sister, I love you with all my heart! May your new year be the best!

Earlier this year, during an interview for the TV show Lorraine in May, Michael spoke candidly about the moment he realised his wife was ‘the one’.

The Basic Instinct star traveled back in time and fondly remembered the moment he fell in love with Catherine. It was all because of their shared passion: golf.

Speaking to Ross King, he said: ‘You know, Catherine loves golf. That was actually the closest we got.

“It looked good and I said, ‘What do you think about golf?’ She said, ‘Oh, I love golf!’ and I said, ‘Oh, do you do that?’ That’s too good to be true.”

“Yes, she plays well,” Michael added.

Discussing his new role as Benjamin Franklin in the AppleTV+ drama miniseries of the same name, he said, “It’s been a great few years.

“I’ve done things I’ve never done before, comedy, which I’ve never really done before. I’ve never done green screen.”

The Hollywood couple met in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival, where the actor was promoting A Perfect Murder starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
