Catherine Zeta-Jones goes shopping amid rumours of a reconciliation with husband Michael Douglas

After spending six months apart, Catherine Zeta Jones stepped out for the first time on Monday after it was reported that her marriage to Michael Douglas was back on track.
The actress looked stylish but casual as she enjoyed a shopping trip with a friend in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The 44-year-old kept things simple in an all-black outfit but injected some colour with a cute printed orange scarf which she loosely tied around her neck.

The Swansea-born star looked to have had a successful trip as she headed to her car carrying a bulging Nordstrom shopping bag, as well as a bottle of water.
The brunette beauty kept her hair down and straight, while sporting large, dark sunglasses and simple drop earrings.
Her trim figure was kept hidden under a classic black jacket, complete with gold buttons, and a pair of loose-fitting black trousers.

The Chicago star made sure she was comfortable for her outing in cute, black wedged boots, while wearing a ring on her wedding finger.
Sources told the Daily Mirror that the Welsh actress is living in the couple's New York apartment with Douglas, 69, and both are fighting hard to keep their marriage alive.

The news came after they announced they were 'taking time apart' to 'evaluate and work on their marriage' back in August.

A US report said that Douglas recently announced the news to his friends, with the report stating that he 'couldn't be happier; and 'he was overheard saying they have reconciled.'
At the premiere of his latest film, Last Vegas, Douglas was seen on the red carpet wearing his wedding ring, where one event-goer said: 'She called to wish him good luck and he said "thanks honey." Douglas hung up with a smile.'
According to another source, he spoke about his beautiful wife for most of the evening, who added: 'People kept asking what's going on with Catherine. Michael said, "We are doing great, she's better than ever," and said their kids are doing great.'
