The grapevine is buzzing about another possible Hollywood breakup. This time, it's Oscar winner Denzel Washington and his wife of 22-years, Pauletta Washington.
Insiders reveal Washington's popularity with women has made him a serial cheater, and Pauletta isn't going to stand by and watch any longer. The latest gossip from insiders says he has been carrying on a sordid affair with former co-star Sanaa Lathan, who is 16-years his junior.
A friend reportedly says, "People have speculated about Denzel having affairs for a long time, but I wouldn't be surprised if the recent reports about Sanaa have gotten under his wife Pauletta's skin like nothing else has."
Rumor has it Denzel recently moved out of the couple's $10 million home in California.

Did Denzel and Sanaa Lathan really have an affair? or was that just a cruel rumor someone started. Denzel does not actually address the affair in Essence. He only says that he does not have a baby on the way in the article. Sanaa is certainly attractive and intellegent enough not to settle for a married man. In recent publications, Denzel and his family appear happy together at his son's graduation from Morehouse and his daughter's graduation from high school. What happened to the divorce as written in the National Inquirer? Does anyone ever ask Pauletta her feelings about the rumor? She seems to be a classy lady and hopefully Denzel appreciates that he has a jewel of a woman in his wife.

DENZEL AND PAULETTA ARE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE. I BELIEVE IT IS NOT TRUE. THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME W/4KIDS. ALSO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SANAA WILL HURT HER CAREER OVER A MARRY MAN.

It is so refreshing to see Denzel and his family at the premiere of his latest two movies, American Gangster and The Great Debaters. Additionally, he and Pauletta are planning to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in June 2008. He has asked readers in Readers' Digest to give him some ideas as to what to get his wife for the anniversary. So, if there was an affair, his wife has forgiven him and only Sanaa Lathan has a reputation as a homewrecker. She is getting old maybe the football player will marry her, that is Sanaa.

Sanaa Lathan is certainly a very beautiful woman. I thought that she and Omar Epps made a wonderful couple. Denzel ranks high on a list of admirable men. We at The Comfort Zone admire both He and his wife Pauletta. Denzel is viewed as a strong man. I don't know about dirty laundrey and would not even like to consider the thought of him stooping from a man of high standards to no standards at all.
We often like to pat a playboy on the shoulders when the one who cheats is simply that boys who need to grow up and put away childish things.
Many Hollywood marriages have failed. Denzel and his wife have been together for a long time and I too believe that marriage is ordained by God. Pauletta, you are to be greatly admired. Your husband,atractive, talented and obviously very intelligent to have selected a fine, strong and yes beautiful woman. What ever it is that that you two have, I hope it spreads though-out Hollywood. Denzel and Pauletta a beautiful couple.
A wise person knows that outer beauty can fade but inner beauty last and makes a difference. If you can have both, that is wonderful but we as a people need to stop just admiring the cover and find out if the book is worth reading. If you can be devoted and faithful then you posses a book that is worth reading, the rest is trash.

Paulette is the world's worse dresser She always looks a mess. Someone should really help her from her head to her toes. She makes Denzel look bad. She is not attractive and wears things to make her look more horrendous

Whatever she wears, her husband has been HER husband for 25 years. Are outward appearances that important?

Pauletta and Denzel are about to celebrate 25 years of marriage. This is a tremendous feat for any couple but for a Hollywood superstar to survive for 25 years though he might have strayed with Sanaa Latan, he did not leave home. Pauletta is a very attractive and talented woman. As long as she pleases Denzel, that is all that matters even though she could step up her dress game or simply get a stylist to help her.

Is Denzel still involved with Sanaa Lathan? Does she now have a boyfriend? It seems that she certainly could use her beauty and talent in a manner not to engage in affairs with a married man. She probably has limited her chances of a decent man marrying her for men do not tend to like women who cheat even though they do the same. I wish for Sanaa the best. She is close to 40 and somehow she cannot seem to keep a man like Pauletta has been able to keep Denzel. Even with her youth and good looks, Denzel did not leave Pauletta for her.

If Paula leaves him I'll take him as my husband. He is a fine individual and has a lot going for hisself. Call me.

How will Denzel and Pauletta celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary. I am glad that those Sanaa Lathan rumors of a love child with him seem to be a thing of the past even though Sanaa seemed uncomfortable at the NAACP Image Awards. Maybe, it was because Denzel and his wife were there together. She certainly must have felt uncomfortable knowing at one time the whole world thought he was going to leave Pauletta for her.it turns out, she was just another jump off.

Such a positive couple Mr and Mrs Denzel Washington make. I'm sure they both feel blessed to have found each other.
To the young lady,Theresa Jordan, just a small observation. Denzel is an educated man. You suggest that if he and his wife seperate that he call you. You go on to say that Mr. Washington has a "lot going on for hisself". I just have to tell you the word is "himself", not hisself. Take note and use it. I don't believe the misses has a thing to worry about.
