credits his wife for turning their house into a home and raising their kids well. Denzel and Pauletta's relationship also proudly withstood the pressures of Hollywood to have the perfect marriage.
Unfortunately, Pauletta had to sacrifice her career to be a full-time mother and wife – a decision she never regretted. She considered her family the main priority and the most important thing in her life that would still be there even if fame was gone.

"She has done the heavy lifting," Denzel said. "She has been the consistent one. She has given the daily religious instruction. She was the one taking them to school." Nevertheless, she remained supportive of Denzel and never grew jealous of his success because she was a stepping stone for him to have that freedom.
Behind the scenes, Pauletta keeps Denzel grounded and lets him do household chores as well, such as taking the trash out and taking care of the kids. She is, however, in charge of the kitchen and likes cooking for her family and friends.
The couple happily celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary on June 25, 2022, making them one of the long-lasting marriages in Hollywood.
