On October 20, 2024, Michael took to his Instagram account, sharing two images of him with his daughter, whose mother is actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. In the first image, only Carys smiled, while in the second, both she and her father appeared happy.

Tagging his daughter in the post, Michael wrote, “Visiting my daughter Carys at school on a fall Sunday! @carys.douglas ❤️” Netizens who saw the post couldn’t decide whether the 21-year-old looked more like her father or her mother.

Believing Carys resembled her father more, one person commented, “The resemblance & vibe uncanny [sic].” Agreeing, another wrote, “She’s got her dad’s smile.”

Others felt she favored her mother with one Instagram user saying, “So pretty looks like her beautiful mom💙🤍,” while another noted, “She looks so much like Catherine❤️.”

This wasn’t the first time Carys was compared to her mother. In April 2024, for her 21st birthday celebration, Michael’s daughter wore her mother’s pink slip dress from the 90s and shared images on Instagram.

Her Instagram post was captioned, “The most perfect 21st I could ask for!” One follower, noticing the resemblance between mother and daughter, replied, “carys! beautiful like her mother, love u beautiful [sic] ❤️.”

The actress wished her “beautiful” daughter a happy birthday and expressed how Carys was the joy in her life. She said watching her daughter grow into the “most incredible woman she is today is a God-given gift that I never take for granted and cherish every day of my life.”

The actress shared a “very cute alert” video of a young Carys talking, joking that the journey to higher education starts on the bathroom floor, with limited teeth and a passion for books. She mentioned that her daughter was packing for college as she looked through old videos.
