Denzel and Pauletta Washington

The timeless love story of Denzel Washington and Pauletta Pearson began to unfold in 1975 when they first crossed paths on the set of Denzel's debut screen project, the T.V. film Wilma. Their initial meeting was marked by a delightful anecdote that Denzel once shared with Jimmy Kimmel, recounting how Pauletta graciously paid for the cab ride on their inaugural date since Denzel had run out of money.

Pauletta is a multi-talented individual, gifted with a beautiful singing voice and accomplished skills as a classically trained pianist. In addition to her musical talents, she has also pursued a career as an actress. Furthermore, Pauletta has embraced the role of a dedicated and loving mother to their four children, each of whom has carved their own paths in the entertainment industry. Their children include the renowned actor John David Washington and the accomplished Hollywood producer Katia Washington, as well as twins Malcolm and Olivia, who have found their own success as a producer/directors and a model/actress, respectively.
