Catherine Zeta-Jones's Glamorous Summer Tour: Who's the Mystery Mini-Me by Her Side?

The world of Hollywood's elite has been abuzz with Catherine Zeta-Jones's summer tour promoting her hit series "Wednesday" around the globe, and we've got the scoop on who's been accompanying the 55-year-old Oscar-winning actress to these high-profile events. As you might expect from a glamorous event like this, Catherine looked absolutely stunning in a Stephane Rolland dress paired with Yeprem jewelry - but that's not the only exciting part of her summer escapades.

At one of these swanky soirees, Catherine brought along a very special plus one - her 10-year-old niece Ava Zeta. Yes, you read that right! The young girl, who shares her aunt's striking features and blonde locks, was beaming with excitement as she posed for photos alongside Catherine in Central Hall, Westminster in London on July 30.

While it may come as a surprise to some fans of the actress, Catherine has been sharing glimpses into her close bond with Ava over the years. In fact, back in 2021, she posted an adorable video on Instagram where Ava was speaking Welsh - a language that holds special significance for Catherine, who grew up in Wales.

The clip showed Ava chatting away in Welsh as Catherine exclaimed, "Welsh in Spain! Ava Zeta is in the house! Hours of fun. Love you, Ava." The heartwarming moment only added to our curiosity about this intriguing family dynamic.

But here's a juicy tidbit: it appears that Ava has already caught the acting bug and has even referred to Catherine as her "Auntie Catherine" in a mock acceptance speech video where she held onto Catherine's Best Supporting Actress statuette from 2003 for Chicago. Talk about a proud aunt!

It was a young girl who is a member of her family. The child wore a black dress with gold sandals, glasses and her blonde hair down in curls as she beamed for the camera

Catherine, known for her close-knit relationships with her family members, has been showering Ava with love and attention on social media. And it seems like the feeling is mutual - Ava even joined in on Catherine's Oscar win celebration, thanking her "mommy," "daddy," "nanny," and "Auntie Catherine" in a sweet video.

The 55-year-old actress has always been open about her love for her family, especially her husband Michael Douglas. The couple tied the knot at New York City's Plaza Hotel in 2000 and have two beautiful children together - son Dylan Michael (24) and daughter Carys Zeta (19). Both kids are following in their famous parents' footsteps in the entertainment industry.

Dylan hosts a popular talk show called "Young American with Dylan Douglas," while Carys has been working as a second assistant director on short films like "August." It's clear that Catherine's children are being raised to appreciate the value of hard work and dedication - just like their mom, who won an Oscar for her role in Chicago.

It was not her daughter Carys Douglas whose father is Catherine's movie star husband Michael Douglas . Can you guess who the cute tot is?

As we mentioned earlier, Catherine's hit series "Wednesday" is set to debut its second season on Netflix this month, with part two arriving on September 3. We can't wait to see what exciting storylines and character developments await us!

In related news, the proud mom celebrated Carys's college graduation in May, sharing sweet photos of their daughter marking the end of her studies at prestigious Brown University in Rhode Island. Catherine captioned a heartwarming snap: "The night before graduation!!!! We are both such proud parents right now!! It’s only just begun!!"

It's clear that Catherine and Michael Douglas have been instilling values of family, love, and hard work into their children from a young age. And based on Ava's adorable appearance by her aunt's side this summer, it seems like they're doing an amazing job.

It's Catherine's 10-year-old niece Ava Zeta. Zeta-Jones has an older brother, David, and a younger brother, Lyndon; it is not known which relative Ava is linked to. The movie icon and the child were seen holding hands on July 30 at Central Hall, Westminster in London

Stay tuned for more updates on the Zeta-Jones-Douglas clan - we can't get enough of these Hollywood royalty!
