Michael Douglas, 76, sees his month old grandson Ryder T. Douglas for the first time

Michael Douglas has finally seen his grandson Ryder a month after his birth.

The actor, 76, grinned in a black and white snap holding the baby, after his son Cameron Douglas and his partner Viviane Thibes welcomed their second child Ryder T. Douglas in mid-December.  

Michael had delayed meeting his grandson for the first time due to restrictions brought in by the COVID-19 pandemic, so no doubt was thrilled to finally get to hold little Ryder as he fed him his bottle.

Michael held on to Ryder’s bottle in the image with the newborn resting comfortably in his arm.

He captioned the photo: ‘First time I’ve seen my month old grandson, Ryder!’ with a smiling emoji and a heart emoji.  

On December 23, 2020, Michael posted a family photo of Cameron, Viviane, newborn Ryder and their daughter -and his granddaughter – Lua, three. 

The actor wrote: ‘Congratulations Cameron and Viviane! Welcome to the world Ryder T. Douglas,’ adding a heart emoji and the hashtag #ProudGrandpa.

Michael had son Cameron, 42, with his first wife Diandra Morella Douglas (née Luker); they were married from 1977 until 1995. 

Michael is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones; they have been married since 2000, and are parents to daughter Carys, 17, and son Dylan, 20. 

The Wall Street star’s father – and Cameron’s grandfather – Kirk Douglas died February 5, 2020 at the age of 103.

Less then three months after his passing, the Douglas family celebrated Anne Douglas’ 101st birthday with a car parade – due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cameron documented the happy occasion in April 2020 as he stopped by his grandmother’s home to wish her a happy birthday.

He said: ‘Here we are. Coming to Anne’s 101st birthday without Pappy [Kirk]. Now stay with us as we go into this amazing procession.’

Michael wished her a happy birthday on Instagram at the time as well, along with an image of himself posing with Anne and Kirk.

 

The actor, 76, wrote: ‘Happy birthday Anne Douglas! The best stepmother a stepson could hope for!,’ adding a heart emoji. 

Catherine also shared a sweet tribute to Anne along with a picture of the two of them.

Catherine, 51, wrote: ‘Happy Birthday to my extraordinary step mother in Law. Our Queen, our Oma. You personify everything that is good in a woman. I admire you and love you so very much.’

Adding: ‘101 years young today. Anne Douglas thank you for everything that you have done for people in our world,’ with a heart emoji.

Oma means ‘Grandma’ in German.

Carys, Michael and Catherine’s 17-year-old daughter, shared a black and white photo of Anne with Kirk, writing ‘Happy 101st birthday to my wonderful Oma!! Your beauty, intellect and grace is my inspiration. I love you so much.’

Anne Buydens, who was born on April 23, 1919 in Hanover, Germany, is a philanthropist, producer and an actress. 

She was married to actor Kirk Douglas for almost 66 years, u
ntil his death on February 5 at age 103. 

They wed on May 29, 1954 after meeting in Paris while he in the city for the film Lust for Life, and had two children together: Peter, 64, and Eric, who died at age 46 from an accidental overdose.
