    #47 so just because someone wrote something negative then we are bitter? the fact of the matter is that he does cheat on his wife and it is cheaper to keep her. Just because you see a black celebrity in a relationship does not mean it is ideal. they are human like us and have faults. the truth of the matter is that Denzel is a a**hole and he is not the black God you make him out to be

    #49 it kinda does mean that he does not love her if he cheats on her…there is a difference between familiar love and romantic love. if you love and respect your mate you would not want to be with anyone else. I am sure that he loves her because she stuck by him when he had nothing so he knows that she is down for him, but come on …. so if someone cheated on you it would be ok because he loves you? and it is cheaper to keep her, ask Shaq if you don’t think so. the man is a great actor true enough but that does not equate with him being a great man or their marriage being the definition of black love. Obama and Michelle show more love all the time than these two

    After reading the comments, all I have to say is…I could care less what Denzel does behind closed doors…I’m going based off the amount of love and affection that they are displaying and I have never seen him with any other woman so until I see concrete evidence with photos of him showing this type of acknowledgment and love to another woman then I don’t give a sh*t…this is no ordinary love that we see all the time-so people are appreciating the fact that a Black man is loving his Black woman-so why not love it? but when Kim Kardashian is hugged up with Reggie the comments are “Oh she is so beautiful” “Kim is a goddess” etc. but when a Black man is with a Black woman all the hate and animosity comes out…. “she’s ugly” “Denzel can do better” “Denzel is an as*hole” it’s like Black folk hate to see each other happy.

    Stop taring the Black woman down, I see it all the time on Black blogs…I see it done to Beyonce, Rihanna, Kelly Rowland etc. who died and left any of you people king/queen? Stop judging people and start loving yourselves then maybe you could appreciate happiness and beauty and give credit where credit is due. Thank you and have a good night.

    Hope they last forever

    Black love at its finest!

  8. Jupa

    67 And you know that by talking so? The money for someone like Denzel is the easiest to get.

  9. Stacy

    #68 the purpose of the blog is to make comments about the pictures we see. there are plenty of people who give props to black love on these blogs…but if you have an opinion that reflects the opposite of what people think then all of a sudden we are haters? the fact of the matter is that people can think or say what they want on gossip sites and it does not make them a hater just a person with an opinion

    NOW THAT IS BEAUTIFUL , STRONG BLACK LOVE IN LIVING COLOR!!

  11. Lasie

    He probably cheats and is a butt hole and she probably isn’t perfect. I do agree that Hollywood isn’t as glamorous as it looks. However, at the end of the day they are together.

    It’s funny how no one would say that other beautiful women’s, who shall remain nameless, husbands don’t cheat on them. But when a woman is called ‘average’ than everyone can name people that her husband has slept with.
    Listen…beautiful people get cheated on too.

  12. Ninagirl1

    Those pics make me wanna smile :) ))))))))))))

  13. OVER IT - THIS SITE IS PITIFUL !!

    These people on here are the most ignorant, black bashing, disgraceful, negative azz folks I’ve ever seen. It makes me feel bad as a black person to even read some of this $hit. Pauletta is not an average looking woman, she is beautiful. What the hell are yall talking about, average, not the best looking, etc…. And that is TRUTH. And with that being said, you might as well get ready to kick my azz off this page or reject my post, but she don’t look any different from yall who are blogging and writing the posts. So if she’s average then most of you are just plain old UGLY!! And to allow these posts makes you really UGLY in my eyes. And the most disrespectful thing in the world is to talk about the man’s wife but in the same sentence say how much you love him. How old are these people on this blog site 12 ?!?

  14. bbm

    i read an interview that denzel did a few years back where he said he will NEVER leave pauletta. he said she may leave him but he will NEVER leave her.

  15. JUJU

    I agree @73
    They ass just wish the had him

  16. SKYY

    If THEY WAS TOGETHER WITH KIDS NO MARRIAGE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY

    IF SHE WAS MIXED OR WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY IM SURE SHE DOSENT GIVE A DAMN

  17. It Will Be Okay

    Stacy, do you live in Atlanta? Do you have one daughter? If so, I understand why you are so bitter. It will be okay. The Lord will see you through.

  18. Ms. T.

    She needs to talk some lessons from our First Lady, just because you’re over 40 doesn’t mean you have to leave the house looking like that. Congrats on enduring black love but damn they both look scruffy as hell.

    “the purpose of the blog is to make comments about the pictures we see. there are plenty of people who give props to black love on these blogs…but if you have an opinion that reflects the opposite of what people think then all of a sudden we are haters?”

    Thank you STACY. I always found Pauletta beautiful and full of grace, she’s a lady that I have much love for, what I personally wrote has nothing to do with looks! Calling Denzel an a**hole isn’t bashing, if it is the truth. He’s a gifted actor and a good looking man, no denying that. A hard worker, no denying that. That being said I don’t care about clean image when people that we made don’t treat their fans respectfully. I can’t respect them. This is not a black issue. Many non-black celebs with perfect images are in fact a**holes. Bruce Willis used to benefit from a good image, he’s always been an a**hole. If people want to celebrate dysfunctional long term relationships in the name of “black love”, that’s their right. I know one or two so-called “strong couples” like these around me, they always smile in public but the women cry behind closed doors. Most pre-conceived ideas of what you’re supposed to “go through” to have a successful marriage are lies passed around from generations to generations, especially in our community. I love me some black love, and love in general, but it is my choice not to support this, no matter how good it “looks” in pics. I have the right to an opinion that differs from the majority on this blog. Doesn’t make me a hater. That’s just how I feel.

    AWE MAN, I CRIED I know

    DORK!

    BUT happy couples r good, to know their still in tune with each other and EVERY1 can tell!

    bomb!

  21. Patricia_34

    @ dude-n-h town why because she is not light skin with long hair?

  22. Cmeez

    I dont see anything wrong with Pauletta. But to each his own. And who feels like getting dressed up all the time just because you’re a celeb…not to mention they are both old and at a freakin basketball game…not the inaguration ball. Good grief. Anyhoo…no relationship is perfect, but they both seem happy so it’s all good to me.

  23. Pecan Tan

    Crabs in a barrel…

    Yes, everyone has an opinion. But, that doesn’t excuse the negativity dished by some. Don’t jump down my post and I know this isn’t Sociology or African-American History 101. So, I will keep this post short:

    I believe that the basis of the negativity is a BLACK ISSUE/THING.

    I wish we could change… =(

  24. Bosstweety

    @ Angie #65
    I agree with you, people just hate to see other people happy, but that’s just because they are not happy. I hope Denzel and Paula continue to make people jealous for many years to come.

  25. Yessir

    If negativity is a “black issue” then you’re stereotyping your own. And there’s a clear difference between being negative and calling it what it is. Was Morgan Freeman’s marriage great because they used to be all smiles for cameras? I think Myrna would agree with me that she was hurting. But I guess once some people reach a certain status they can do no wrong.

  26. Liz

    Awesome that they have been together for sooo long! But is it really all that great when the man cheats on her left and right with other women? And I know this for a fact. I would rather be alone than be with a man that cheats and disrespects me in that manner. But that’s just me…..

  27. 1*STEP*AHEAD

    OH JUST STFU ALREADY!
    MARRIED SINCE 1983,,,THAT’S BEFORE SOME OF YOU WERE EVEN BORN.

    NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAVE LEFT SO OBVIOUSLY WHATEVER THEY’RE DOING IS WORKING FOR THEM…IT DOESN’T HAVE TO WORK FOR YOU.

    MAKE SURE YOUR OWN HOUSE IS IN ORDER & STOP WORRYING ABOUT MR. & MRS. WASHINGTON…

  28. Pecan Tan

    Negativity in relation to the POSTS is a “Black Issue”. It is not stereotyping my own. It’s simply recognizing how some of us perpetuate negativity toward our own. What it is, is a picture of a couple that may have gone through some things. Yet, they are still together, smiling and just happen to be acting silly for a camera. Let’s not justify the issue with useless examples to defend our opinion either.

  29. Stacy

    #77 I don’t live in ATL nor do I have kids. what does my opinion have to do with me being with or without a mate. that was just plain ignorant…so anyone who disagress with you is pathetic? sounds like the people who cannot come up with intelligent comebacks are the truly pathetic ones

  30. Yessir

    People are forming an opinion of a couple based on “pictures”, the same way we thought Morgan Freeman and Myrna were such a strong couple based on the few Hollywood “happy pictures”‘, oh because this couple validates what I stated it’s a “useless example”? Alright. I’m used to the words “negativity” or “hater” thrown when people refuse to accept different opinions about the people they love to idealize, just cause it looks “picture perfect”. I’m supposed to hanclap them to prove I love my people, just because they’re black, otherwise I’m considered having a “crab in the barrels” mentality. In the words of Dave Chappelle “Hollywood is all an illusion”. Let’s celebrate now.

  31. FallBackHaters

    Black love!!

  32. vj

    No swirl couple here! That is real black love!

  33. Luvz da 90s

    I agree # 24

  34. Ummm...

    Ya’ll don’t understand how much I love this man for representing like this. Take notes young biys….please take notes.

    Pauletta is a BEAUTIFUL BLACK woman. Loves them =o)
