Michael Douglas reveals secret romance with Basic Instinct co-star
On Sunday, 82-year-old actor Michael Douglas revealed a secret romance with co-star Jeanne Tripplehorn during 'Basic Instinct' filming in his memoir 'One Helluva Ride', noting that public speculation about Sharon Stone helped mask their relationship.
The romance occurred while Douglas was separated from then-wife Diandra Luker. Douglas admitted he 'fell very hard for Jeanne despite our nearly twenty-year age difference,' yet chose not to end his marriage to pursue another serious relationship.
Before publishing, Douglas contacted Triplehorn, 63, to request permission to reveal their history. Triplehorn has been married for 26 years to actor Leland Orser, providing context for the decades-old disclosure.
Douglas also disclosed a secret relationship with 'Romancing The Stone' co-star Kathleen Turner, 72, who responded: 'Good heavens, what a fuss about something 40 years ago! I love Michael and I look forward to enjoying the book.'
'One Helluva Ride' is available now, detailing previously undisclosed chapters of Douglas's life. He divorced Luker in 1995 and has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones since 2000, providing personal context for the memoir's revelations.
