Beautiful couple!
Married since 83′ well isn’t god good.
Beautiful!! I love me some Denzel and I’m not hating on Pauletta!!
this is beautiful
@ nothin but love , u are right GOD is good!
TRUE LOVE!!
I know this isn’t in good taste…but Paulette is so unfortunate looking to me. But I love seeing people happy together. So YAY for them
beautiful : ) glad to see there still in happy and in love
They are sooo Adorable! Love them!
LOVE IT!
I love it!!!! It gives me hope!!! I have met Pauletta once and she was the nicest woman ever!!
It is so great to see a celebrity like Denzel Washington still married with his wife that was there before the fame and money. He could’ve been with anybody he wanted to.
so nobody is gonna say anything about her having on a kitchen apron?
are you really that shallow to discuss what she’s wearing? She apparently is comfortable, which further speaks of her character; meaning. She could of dressed over the top(furs,etc) they do have mega resources you know. She and appears to be happy. Find out why she seems so happy. Then you might give more positive feedback next time.
Good to see a blk celeb couple still together for that long.
It is so wonderful to hear about people who have been together for a long time and still have so much love for each other.
Good for them, they look SO happy and to be enjoying eachother’s company! Married since 83′ hat goes off to them because they are truely blessed to have one another. Like one said above, there is hope!
@ 12….LMFAOOOOOOOOOO…Hell naw, I just noticed that.
I was wondering about that apron too. But just making an observation of how people start to look alike when they’ve been around one another for a long time…too bad for Mrs. Washington…lol
#6 & #17- y’all wrong
LMAO @ 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos to Black Love, them being together, and all that jazz, but with all that money Denzel got you would think he would invest in Pauletta’s up keep a bit. Aside from from formal events (and she do be trying it at that sometimes even at those), girlfriend be looking a fool. LMAO @ 12!!!
I’m mad my damn ROCKETS didn’t make it.
Love the Washingtons. Denzel I know the way woman are ,they all over you and you choose to love the one youre with. True blessed love is hard to come by. Thanks for giving us hope. We love you guys. Stay true to each other.
Now thats what I’m talkin about!! Married for 26 years and counting! Just wonderful…
Nobody seems to want that anymore. I, for one, want to be able to have a 50th wedding anniversary
@Dude-N-H-Town #6:
I agree. Pauletta is definitely not the most attractive woman out there–she never has been even in her younger days. But that just goes to show that Denzel’s priorities in finding a wife were not based solely on looks; he has obviously connected with his wife in mind, spirit, and soul, so they seem happy and in love which is the most important thing. Many black women will continue to say “aww, they make such a beautiful couple” because he gives hope to average looking women that they may possibly find a handsome looking black man like Denzel one day. On the flipside, most black guys are thinking “you’re Denzel Washington, man!!! You could’ve done alot better!!!” I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just layin out the facts.
Whooooo #12….rotflmao!!! But seriously, Denzel is the finest man I’ve ever seen. He just gets better with age.
It’s nice too see them enjoying each other!
Wow! This couple has been together for 26 years and people are ragging on how Paula looks? GTFOH! If Mr. Washington likes it- I love it. Congrats and kudos for that keeping that black Hollywood love going. I think Will and Jada are going to go down the same route….
#12 WHY?? I was just looking like, “Is she on duty?” WTH!!!! I need a full body shot so that I feel comfortable b/c if chica wore the apron out and she isn’t serving up some soup, fries, burgers, or even crack…I’m scared for Denzel! 23 hour lock down! Pelican Bay! Paula Dean ain’t got ish on me! Oh me oh my!
I thought I was the only one who noticed the apron lol
ITS A DRESS NOT A APRON THE VIDEO OF THEM COMING IN IS ON YOUTUBE LOL….
BUT I NEVER BEEN TO CRAZY ABOUT DENZEL IN THE LOOKS DEPARTMENT I DONT SEE IT
That’s fab! Love these two! Get married…then have a baby…then stay together!
Pauletta is far from unfortunate looking- she looks like a normal married woman with kids! Why are people so shallow? She must be doing something right cause she has one of the most beautiful men in the world on her arm and he’s loved her for 26 years.
wow- they’ve been married longer than my parents! How sweet
Very people know that Pauletta was a child prodigy, she speaks several different languages and plays numerous muscial instruments. Very cultured and highly intelligent. All that gets overlooked because she is married to Denzel a great actor who is also extremely handsome. Dunno know why she is wearing an apron tho.
Black love is so beautiful!
Wow…#24, in life you find that everything is not all about looks! Just because she doesn’t look like the average video gold-diggin chick doesn’t mean that she’s not attractive. Her hubby aint complaining so who are you to judge. She oviously got something going on for her to be with the most finest actors in this world. So next time think before you speak. They look beautiful together!!! HATERS…
Actually her hubby still messes around on her…so even though they are “together” he still dips out on her on the side. it is cheaper to keep her
I totally agree @32 and I really do not see anything unattractive about her. There are far worse looking people out there. Here is another piece of reality, before Denzel became the Denzel we all know and love, he was not turning heads like that. Just goes to show how some fame and serious cash flow can make anyone a heart throb( for some…Lil Wayne, Snoop, Jay Z and the lists can go on). I respect him for not going out there and ending up with the same “cookie cutter” trophy wife that the majority of them end up with. She is a ride or die chick and I totally love that black love that is radiating from them. They are definately setting a great example for black hollywood.
I love these guys together, but I still have a slight crush on Denzel..
That was a gd GAME !! dym Lakers ! !! !
HE DONT LOOK THAT HAPPY WID HER
MAYBE ITS THE PHOTOS YOUVE TAKEN, BUT THEY LOOK LIKE A ‘COVIENIENCE COUPLE’..
YOU SHOULDA CAPTURED THE KISS… OH WELL
I was with Denzel last night…SO THERE!!!
ummm…in my dreams
aww that’s soo beautiful. they’ve been married since before i was born.. wow.
Ooh CUTE…. and it’s a dress lol
That’s a great example of how looks can be deceiving. She’s a “ride or die”, sticks by her womanizing husband “through thick and thin” (I agree with #36)!! I don’t idealize celebs because Hollywood is all an illusion. I know a girl who met Denzel because she worked in New York as personel for tv shows and movies, and she said he’s a nasty, arrogant a**hole. To the person who said Pauletta was a prodigy (#33), she indeed was. She sacrificed her dreams for him, and judging from what I’ve heard about his personality, she must be living in a golden cage.
to be married to denzel i’m sure u have to be real secure with urself…i think that them being married since ’83 is so wonderful….i love them as a couple they remind me of bernie mac and his wife before he passed
You can tell the people who gets no love….read the comments. Just miserable. lonley and unhappy…to the people who wrote bad comments about the two of them….you can go on singles.com, e-harmony, match.com, christiansingles.com you do not have to be alone…LOL…
Wow! at most of the comments on here…I really wonder what half of you people look like so what if she isn’t your everyday “beauty queen” are u people saying that people who are less attractive can’t find love? and are yall assuming that because Denzel is a handsome man that he should be with a “gorgeous” woman? Have you ever heard of “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” what u don’t find attractive others might find attractive. I see couples everyday walking down the street and one is finer than the other so does that mean they don’t deserve each other solely based on looks? If there’s one thing that disgusts me is superficial people. God Bless anyone who finds love.
@ 36 & 45
Um, there are women everyday who get cheated on.Pauletta is a woman like anyone else and Denzel is a man like anyone else. Men cheat everyday women cheat everyday does that mean he doesn’t love Pauletta? it’s cheaper to keep her? That doesn’t look like that to me in those photos above. I swear Black women are so miserable, go find yourself a man then you too can be happy.
Ummmmmmm #48, I don’t know any woman or man who gets cheated on several times who’s still genuinely “happy” with their significant other, no matter how much the cheater claims to love them. A lot of those women stay cause they’re scared to be lonely, scared to leave, or for the money. And just because many cheat and get cheated on, doesn’t make it right, doesn’t keep a couple happy.
Black Love at it’s finest !!!!!!!!!!!!
That makes my heart smile!
lol! @ the so-called kitchen apron.
hehehehehe
I’m 25 years old….Denzel is older than my daddy and STILL he could get it 8 days a week…lol. Seriously tho…Pauletta is a beautiful black woman….they are blessed to have each other!!
cute !
such a awesome couple!
Looks may get you in bed with a lot of men but that along doesn’t hold him to you. Its wayyyyy more than that. And I see nothing at all wrong with Mrs. Denzel.
Also, Denver should have won that dam game.
Shame on people talking bout how Paulette look toe up. What’s it to you? For them to be married this long, looks obviously don’t mean a thang. More power to them and 26 more years of happiness.
awww! I love Denzel! so happy he and wife have stayed married! I wanted to marry him since Glory! nice to still dream tho!
Real Love – I Love ittttttttttttttt!
