On Turkey day, she took to social media to share a message to fans, writing: "Happy Thanksgiving to Americans near and far. With work commitments this year we are not in turkey mode, but in serious thankful mode for the blessings of health, happiness and family. Love to you all."
Michael and Catherine have been married for almost 25 years, and in a recent interview she made a series of candid admissions regarding their romance.

"I've been waking up to Mike for nearly 25 years. I love being married but it's a crazy thing when you really think about it. 'Will you marry me?' 'Sure!' But then you think about the Chanel purse you spent a fortune on, and actually, 'I don't really like it any more – I'll put it up for resale,'" she quipped.
"It's impossible for there not to be ups and downs if you live with the same person and wake up with them every day," she told Britain's Telegraph.
The duo tied the knot in November 2000
Catherine and Michael met back at the Deauville American Film Festival in France in August 1998, after being introduced to one another by Danny DeVito. In 1999, Michael and Catherine started dating and they went on to tie the knot in November 2000.
Although the couple experienced many ups and downs throughout their marriage - including a six-month split in 2013 - they have remained tight as ever.
