Denzel Washington and Pauletta Washington, his wife, are one of the few couples who have been able to withstand the passage of time as a married marriage. The marriage between Denzel Washington and Pauletta Washington has lasted for almost 40 years. They have been together for more than 45 years after first meeting each other in college.

The question concerning the actor’s strategy for a happy and fruitful marriage over a lengthy period of time was posed during his appearance on The Ellen Show. Denzel provided a straightforward response, which was, “I do what I’m told.” This statement is reflective of Denzel’s attitude toward his wife and their marriage. In 2017, the actor credited his “marrying up” for the couple’s happy marriage. According to Denzel, Pauletta’s upbringing was rather different from his own childhood. Denzel knew that he needed to be a part of her family in order to feel the kind of love and closeness that he had only read about.
This year marks Denzel and Pauletta’s 40th wedding anniversary, which will be celebrated this year.
