Catherine Zeta-Jones reunited with a rarely-seen family member in a moment that will delight fans, as the duo spent time together during the summer holidays.
The actress, 54, had a rare moment with her niece Ava Zeta and took to Instagram to share the special occasion. Catherine wore an elegant straw boater hat that tied round her chin with black ribbon, as well as some dark sunglasses. Next to her sat Ava, who smiled behind her glasses, also wearing a hat in the hot weather.

Fans of Catherine will know that it's a special occasion when the actress gets to see her niece, who is believed to live in Wales. But this isn't the first time the little one has appeared on the Chicago star's Instagram, as Catherine shared photos of Ava dressed in traditional Welsh dress for St. David's Day in 2023.
As part of the special occasion on March 1, Welsh children dress up in traditional Welsh dress. This costume includes a long woolen skirt, apron, blouse, woolen shawl, and a Welsh hat.

This isn't the only way the aunt-niece duo have shown off their Welsh pride, as they melted hearts in 2021 with a video in which they spoke Welsh with each other.

Cousin Ava even played a cameo role in the 21-year-old's own Instagram round-up, as it seemed the little one could be seen reading in a chair.
The 21-year-old college student captioned the photos: "Some peaceful moments from the past couple of weeks."
