Speaking on the red carpet ahead of the award ceremony, Michael said of his pocket handkerchief: "This is not for the LA Rams. This is the colour of the Ukrainian flag. If ever there was a time for us to appreciate about what true democracy is, I'm just so proud of what the people in this country have done."

Catherine and Michael have been married since 2000

"First of all, we have a lot of fun together," she told WSJ magazine. "My husband is 25 years older than me; that's not a secret. With any relationship, it wouldn't be normal if there weren't any ups and downs.

"The constant is love and respect. We've never, ever lost our sense of humor, and we enjoy each other's company."

Catherine continued: "My husband and I spend a lot of time together because, unlike so many couples, we've never had a 9-to-5 job where it's consistent. We're either on or we're off. I'm really working 16 hours a day, or I'm not. He's doing the same, or not.

“So we've had in our relationship huge amounts of time where we've been just us. We lived on the island of Bermuda for 12 years bringing up our kids. We respect each other's space, and our humor is just long-lasting."
