Zeta-Jones, who’s been married to Douglas since 2000, has been using Instagram to document both their indoor and outdoor antics for some time, ever since entering quarantine with her family amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Last Wednesday, the actress shared a new video in which she belted out a soulful rendition of My Love by Paul McCartney and Wings. 

Zeta-Jones and Douglas have been quarantining at home with their children, 19-year-old son Dylan and 16-year-old daughter Carys.  Douglas also has older son Cameron, 41, with his ex-wife, producer Diandra Luker.
