Speaking to US Weekly about Catherine, the actor said:

“She does [still give me butterflies],” he admitted. “She cleans up pretty good.”

Douglas also mentioned the award show was a chance for him and his wife to reconnect with old friends whom they don’t get to see too often. 

“We live back east and we live in the country. So, we look at it as an opportunity to come out and see a lot of old friends and go to these shows, see people we love or admire,” he said. 

“We’re fans to of a lot of the stuff that we see on television and in the films, so that part is great and sort of treat it like a real experience rather than a necessity or part of your requirements.”

The pair first met at the 1998 Deauville Film Festival in France and wed two years later, as per People. They have two children together, Dylan, 19 and Carys, 16. 
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Douglas admitted the first time he and Catherine met did not go down too well. 

“I looked at her, and I said, ‘Catherine, I’m going to be the father of your children,'” he admitted. “The first time I met her! You think that went over big?”
