"Happy birthday, darling," Douglas replies, offering a thumbs up.
"Happy birthday, me, happy birthday, you," the Chicago star then adds, before the camera pans to the propellers spinning outside the helicopter's window.
The Hollywood couple has made a ritual of acknowledging their special date.
In 2021, Douglas shared a throwback photo of the two taken at the Deauville Film Festival in France, the event where they first met. In the photo, Douglas wears a purple shirt and gray jacket as he raises a glass while seated next to his future wife, who sports red earrings and a glamorous updo.
"My first night meeting Catherine at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998. I found out that she had the same birthday as me--tadaah!," Douglas wrote in his Instagram caption. "Then when I discovered she loved golf, I realized all my fantasies had come true. I've lucked out at this time in my life."
