Michael – who also has two children, Dylan, nine, and seven-year-old Carys, with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones – told New York magazine: "The things that are going on with Cameron are done with now. He's gotten sentenced, so the tough part was the year before. But, you know the timing was not great. And he did that stuff. But that part is over with now, and we're all just getting closer to summer holidays. A chapter has ended, and for our family it's been rewarding, with certain pain for other members. Um, but hopefully a really good learning experience."
