Michael Douglas has admitted it was uncomfortable to share his home with ex-wife Diandra Luker in Mallorca, off the coast of Spain. The couple split in 2000 after 22 years of marriage.
Following their divorce, they arranged an on-and-off agreement for six months for their 250-acre S'Estaca estate outside the village of Valdemossa. However, Douglas was tired of it at one point, leading him to purchase Diandra Luker's share of the property after taking it off the market in late 2020.
Michael Douglas mentioned that his current wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, is more comfortable living in the monumental property since his ex's name is off the deed. After staying for three months in the Spanish destination, the Fatal Attraction actor told the island's local newspaper, Ultima Hora:
"It was very uncomfortable sharing the property with my ex-wife Diandra. Six months for each of us wasn't pleasant for anyone. Everything is now sorted out. The house is 100% ours — Catherine's and mine. I never wanted to leave, and my children will continue to come and my grandchildren and their children. I am sure that for generations, this island will be theirs."
The actor and producer added that the house belongs to his family and his wife is very happy since they don't have to share it with Diandra Luker. He said that he could make a nice life for himself and his family on the island.
