With their marriage on the rocks, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are unloading many of the properties in their real-estate portfolio in preparation for a possible split, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Sources say Douglas's advanced age – the Wall Street star turns 81 in September – has become a major issue for Zeta-Jones, who at 55 is a quarter of a century younger than her "old man."
"He's looking more fragile than ever and he's not as quick-thinking or as mobile as he used to be, and that's been a problem for Catherine," our insider said.
Zeta-Jones has grown tired of playing caretaker as her husband slows down with age.
The Chicago actress "has become more of a caretaker to him than a wife and she's frustrated," our source added.
They said: "Her career has taken a back seat to caring for Michael.
"Catherine wants to travel the world and play golf, do more movies and work with interesting people, and Michael can't keep up with her. Instead, he sits at home and worries about the state of the world. It's just become a sad situation for them."
Now the couple's children, Dylan, 24, and Carys, 21, are grown, they've been putting many of their properties up for sale.
In 2018, they put the Bermuda compound they've owned for decades on the market for $10.6million.
Three years later, they listed their penthouse apartment on Central Park West in New York for $21.5million, but later took it off the market.
Penthouse listings and estate sales have insiders speculating the couple are poised to announce their split.
