As audiences gather to view the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster hit, Gladiator II, which now stars Hollywood A-List Denzel Washtington, Denzel is celebrating another milestone, being married for over 40 years! Award-winning actor Denzel and his wife, actress Pauletta have been married for 41 years, and that’s nothing to sneeze at. Forty years in any marriage is an accomplishment, but doing it while being big Hollywood stars is nearly like seeing a unicorn trotting down the street.

Although it hasn’t always been an easy road for the couple, thanks to awkward first dates, rejected proposals, and Hollywood divorce rumors, they’ve managed to make their marriage much stronger, while also raising four successful kids. Before we get into how they actually met and fell in love, scroll down for a look back down memory lane at some of their love through the ages and read their love story.
