This week, while on the red carpet for his latest film “2 Guns,” the couple, who recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary, revealed to Access Hollywood that Denzel had to ask Pauletta to marry him three times before she said, ‘Yes.’
Judging from their interaction, Pauletta wanted him to be sure it was something that he wanted to do and that he would be committed to making their marriage work and growing old together. She said:
“It was three times. I know with age sometimes things [go], the mind [goes].”
When Denzel asked, “Why was it twice…Why would I have to ask again?”, she responded:
“Because I said no.”
Denzel also joked:
“You heard it here first. She turned me down, she said no. And since it was three times, that means she turned me down twice.”
