Michael Caine's Relationship with His Wife Shakira – And What Their Only Daughter Looks Like

The couple's relationship, which has spanned decades, stands out in Hollywood for its warmth and longevity.

Michael Caine has long been admired not just for his remarkable acting career but also for his enduring love story with his wife, Shakira. Beyond their successful marriage, they also share a close bond with their only daughter, Natasha Caine, who has grown from her younger years into a devoted mother herself, blessing her parents with grandchildren.

Michael met Shakira at a time when he needed stability and care. Despite enjoying the success that came with his Hollywood fame, he was struggling privately, often drinking a bottle or two of vodka a day — starting as early as breakfast.

Then Shakira entered his life, bringing calm and purpose. As Michael once said, "I fell in love with her in about eight minutes. It took her two hours to fall in love with me." The actor added more sincerely, "She saved my life, really."

Since then, Shakira has been a constant presence by his side, whether at their Chelsea apartment, where they spend part of the week, or their peaceful country home in Surrey. Their affection for each other remains evident.

"We don't need anybody else except the family. We're very happy in our own company. And we all of us, no matter how nice and loving and lovely we are, all have a slightly bad side. Shakira is the only person I ever met who didn't have a bad side. There's no bad side. It's all good," Michael gushed.

Michael has often spoken fondly about family life, noting that he has always been surrounded by children. His first daughter, Dominique Caine, was born when he was just 23, during his short marriage to actor Patricia Haines.

With Shakira, he later welcomed their daughter Natasha. Family remains an important part of the actor's life. Today, he and his wife's shared devotion extends to their grandchildren — twins, a boy and a girl, and another grandson — who are the heart of their family life.

Shakira once shared that picking up his eldest grandson from school is one of the moments Michael looks forward to most each week.

The couple has been married for more than 50 years, a milestone Michael credits with making the passage of time easier to bear. He often praises Shakira's beauty and grace, remarking that her presence continues to brighten his days.

In her late 70s, she remains striking and remarkably patient. Beyond her charm, Michael admires her intelligence and capability. Before their marriage, Shakira worked as a secretary at the American embassy in what was then British Guiana (now Guyana).

Michael Caine now appreciates how naturally she manages everything in their lives, describing her as the one who keeps all things running smoothly.

Aside from family, Michael has also touched on his work. The actor's films have produced countless memorable lines, and he often hears fans repeating them. "I hear 'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off' all the time," he said with amusement.

The line has even become a family favorite. His daughter once asked him to record it for her voicemail, leading to the cheeky message, "Natasha Caine is not in. You're only supposed to leave a bloody message."

It hasn't always been sunny days for the family, which has also gone through challenging times. In 2012, Natasha endured a distressing ordeal when a man pursuing an alleged debt targeted her ex-husband, Michael Hall.

The man, Kevin Fox, was reportedly representing a client who alleged that a company partially owned by Natasha's ex-husband owed him £67,000. The situation escalated after the debt collector repeatedly appeared at his workplace and later at their home in Wimbledon.

The man allegedly made threats that left the family deeply shaken. The court heard that the encounters frightened Natasha so severely that her hair nearly turned white.

Her ex-husband described the visits as "very, very upsetting," saying they placed immense pressure on their family. Seeking protection, he filed for damages and an injunction to prevent further contact, marking a tense and frightening chapter for the couple.

Now in her 50s, Natasha has led an eventful life. Here's a look at how she has transformed from her early baby years to more recent times.
