Douglas\u2019 latest post referred to his wife as his \u201cbirthday sister,\u201d and it has fans scratching their heads. However, after some digging: we know if fans should worry or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Sept 25, on their dual birthdays, Douglas shared a darling photo of the two of them on Instagram. He shared the photo with the caption reading, \u201cTo my birthday sister\u2014what a joy celebrating another year with you! Congratulations on your spectacular game at the Celebrity Ryder Cup.

It has fans worried. However, don\u2019t freak out; it\u2019s nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Michael has called Catherine his \u201cbirthday sister\u201d before. In fact, in 2024, he shared a photo of her saying, \u201cTo my birthday sister, I love you with all my heart! May your new year be the best! @catherinezetajones \u2764\ufe0f.\u201d (You can <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DAU3GVWsb87\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:see the post HERE;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">see the post HERE<\/a>!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But fans were even more confused when Jones\u2019 birthday post didn\u2019t have a pet name.
