Denzel and Pauletta Washington

Among the longest-lasting marriages in Hollywood, Denzel and Pauletta Washington have been together for nearly four decades. Both met in 1977 during Denzel’s first acting debut in the TV film Wilma. A bit over half a decade later, they tied the knot in 1983 and have remained married since. Together, they have four children: John David, Katia, and twins Olivia and Malcolm. Their children have gone on to become successful, graduating with degrees in fields like film studies and fine arts. However, further details of the couple’s wedding remain unknown, as both have continuously kept their personal lives private.

What is known is that they renewed their vows in 1995. The couple went to South Africa to renew their vows in a ceremony officiated by then-Archbishop Desmond Tutu. While more details are not known about their renewal of their vows, what can be said is that there were many people during the reception, since they ran out of food from the catering service at the time.
