The source described the opulent eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom property as the family's "precious family home". Yet, according to the Express, the mansion has grown quieter since Carys, 21, and Dylan, 23, flew the coop.
The insider suggests that the market listing "could be a sign" of the couple's struggle with the quiet following their children's departure. This speculation arises amidst memories of the duo's temporary split in 2013, which they overcame to rekindle their relationship.
During their short separation, 'Franklin' star Michael conceded: "Every couple has their difficult times."
On her part, 54 year old Chicago sensation Catherine - who has family links to Ireland - has always been outspoken in her aversion to divorce, having once called it "repulsive" and not an option she would consider.
While it might seem like trouble in paradise, the truth could be as simple as the couple looking for a new pad now that their kids have flown the coop. "Selling the house is a huge step. They're at a new life stage now," the insider told New Idea.
Catherine Zeta-Jones - who was visited by Ireland's leader on the set of Wednesday - opened up to The Wall Street Journal about why they're selling: "Now that both our son and daughter have left the nest it seems like the right time to sell."
She also let slip, "Michael and I plan to spend more time in Bermuda and Europe."
The A-list pair first met in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival, got engaged in December 1999, and were married by November 2000 in a lavish ceremony. After a brief separation in 2014, Michael Douglas announced they were "back stronger than ever".
PEOPLE magazine has highlighted the couple's journey through serious health scares, including Michael's victorious fight against throat cancer in 2011 and Catherine's ongoing management of bipolar disorder. As of February 2024, their love was still evident, with Michael sharing a Valentine's Day tribute: "Love you always and forever."
