Denzel Washington and his wife, Pauletta, are celebrating their 41st wedding anniversary and a source exclusively shared with Closer that the Oscar winner “can’t imagine life without her.” Although the couple is now stronger than ever, it hasn’t always been easy. The 69-year-old actor faced persistent cheating rumors 20 years ago, which he denied. Despite the rumors, Pauletta, who met Denzel on a 1977 TV movie, chose to trust her husband and stood by his side. She then decided to put her acting career on hold to raise their four children.
According to an insider, Denzel Washington’s wife, Pauletta, never gave up on their marriage despite his past indiscretions. The source reveals that Denzel has since become a “model husband” and was given another opportunity to make things right with his wife. Pauletta, who has been married to Denzel for over 37 years, has been his pillar of strength and stability. She has supported him through his highs and lows, which has given Denzel a solid foundation to build upon. The insider adds, “Denzel must ask himself what he did to deserve her!” Pauletta’s unwavering support has been instrumental in their enduring relationship.
