Denzel Pauletta Washington Married 28 Years, how did denzel washington meet his wife?--Denzel Hayes Washington and Pauletta Pearson have been married for continuous 28 years so they are among the list of the record longest married celebrity couples.Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. is an American actor, screenwriter, director, and film producer.
Denzel didn’t experience love at first sight when he met his wife Pauletta, but a year after the two met on the set of the 1977 film Wilma (in which they were co-starring)-Denzel knew she was something special.
Five years later they were married and built a beautiful family together which included four children who are all succeeding in their own right. Three are currently enrolled in college (Tisch, Yale and U.Penn) and one is a professional football player for the California Redwoods in the United Football League.
A strong family unit speaks volumes of the family’s foundation-the parents. Denzel and Pauletta have been able to take the strength of their own 28 year-old relationship and share it with their children. This couple does more than make it last, they endure and thrive.
Why She Loves Him: Pauletta has no problem dealing with the women that come after her man. She told Essence that it would be senseless to be upset with flirting women because Denzel comes home to her. She even takes the flirtation as a compliment.
However, Pauletta knows that Denzel’s appeal is more than his knee-weakening looks. He’s amazing inside and out. Pauletta told Oprah, “I thought he was cute, but I fell in love with his spirit. And then I thought, ‘Hmm, not a bad package.’”
