Catherine Zeta-Jones' 'beautiful' new family photos get fans talking

Catherine Zeta-Jones was in the mood to celebrate on Tuesday and in the process gave a glimpse into her life away from the big screen.

The Chicago star posted two never-before-seen snapshots on Instagram to wish her beloved dad, David, a happy birthday.

The side-by-side photos featured her dad with her mom, Patricia, many years ago, and a new image of Catherine with her father.

She simply wrote: "Happy Birthday Dad! I love you with all my heart," and added a heart emoji.

Fans adored the throwback photo of her parents and remarked on where Catherine got her good looks from.

Others couldn't believe how much David looked like John F Kennedy back in the day.

The family were lavished with praise from Catherine's followers who branded the family "beautiful."

Before Catherine made her mark on Hollywood, she grew up in Swansea, Wales. Patricia was a seamstress and David owned a candy factory.

She previously confessed she still talks "every day, sometimes three times a day," to her mom and has described her as "the wind beneath my wings."

Speaking to Homes & Gardens in 2021, the 54-year-old reflected on her idyllic childhood.

"Even though I've lived Stateside for 24 years, I still say Wales is my home," she said.

Whenever Catherine is back in the UK, she always makes sure to visit her loved ones.

"Now that both our son and daughter have left the nest it seems like the right time to sell.

"Michael and I plan to spend more time in Bermuda and Europe," she added.
