Oscar winner Denzel Washington strongly rebuffs reports his marriage is in trouble due to his womanizing ways.
Speaking freely in the upcoming issue of Essence magazine, the "Training Day" star admits he's perplexed by the rumors of infidelity and children being born outside of his marriage.
He says, "I've heard (the rumors). Having babies, I've left home and all this... I'm a big boy. I can take it. But what bothers me about all of that stuff is the effect on the family."
Denzel and his wife of 22 years, Pauletta, are still together and vow to end the falsehoods about their strong marriage.
