New York - Hollywood couple Michael Douglas, 69, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, 44, on Tuesday made their first red carpet appearance together since announcing their split last year, said newspapers.

They were at the opening of The Library, a new play directed by Steven Soderbergh, said The New York Times.

Last month, Douglas' mother told Hello! magazine that the couple's 13-year marriage was back on track after "three long vacations together". She said the couple and their two children were living together as a family after Zeta-Jones moved into "a house next door".

The New York Times said the couple sat through the play together on Tuesday, but Douglas left by himself.
