Denzel and Pauletta Washington – 43 Years Together
Denzel and Pauletta Washington first met each other on the set of 1977 TV biopic Wilma, Denzel’s first on-screen appearance. While Pauletta played Olympic athlete Mae Faggs, Denzel portrayed her competitor’s fiancé. However, in real life, both felt an immediate connection towards one another. Still, they dated for years before marrying in 1983. Then, in 1995, the couple decided to renew their vows with none other than Archbishop Desmond Tutu in South Africa.
Today, the Washingtons have four children: John, Katia, and twins Malcolm and Olivia. In addition to building a family together, the couple also does philanthropic work together, raising money for important causes like The Boys And Girls Group.
