In an excerpt from One Helluva Ride shared by People magazine, Douglas, 82, revealed that the pair fell for each other while shooting the adventure comedy in Mexico. At the time, he was separated from his then-wife, Diandra Douglas, although they were still legally married.
“The truth is that during the production of Romancing the Stone, Kathleen and I fell hard for each other and began a relationship,” Douglas wrote, explaining that their connection grew through their work together and mutual attraction.
The actor also admitted that their repeated denials over the years were untrue. “It was a lie meant to protect my wife and son, a lie we told the world for 40 years,” he wrote.
Douglas and Diandra divorced in 1995, and he has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones since 2000.
