In an industry where temptations abound and long-lasting marriages are rare‚ two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington's marriage is perhaps his greatest success! Denzel Washington and his wife Pauletta Pearson married on June 25‚ 1983‚ and over 40 years later‚ their marriage reigns supreme in Hollywood and outside the entertainment capital of the world. RELATED: Yes‚ Denzel Washington Is A Christian And Here Are 10 Times He Opened Up About His Faith Married Since 1977 Denzel and Pauletta met in 1977 on the set of Wilma. The two soon began dating‚ but Pauletta did not rush down the aisle with Denzel. Though the highly acclaimed actor may not have achieved his current-day movie success by 1977‚ his good looks‚ charm‚ and talent were certainly evident. Still‚ Denzel had to ask Pauletta to be his bride not once but three times! The two joked about the actor's three marriage proposals in a 2013 interview with Access Hollywood‚ revealing that Pauletta declined Denzel's first two proposals‚ finally saying "yes" on the third. "It was three times?" Denzel asked Pauletta. "It was three times. I know with age sometimes things [go]‚ the mind [goes]‚" she teased. "Why was it twice...Why would I have to ask again?" Denzel asked. Pauletta quipped back‚ "Because I said no!" Success Brings Temptatioins Mr. Washington's film resume is extensive‚ starring in dozens of movies‚ including Philadelphia‚ The Equalizer‚ Man on Fire‚ Remember the Titans‚ Training Day‚ Courage Under Fire‚ and many more. Of course‚ success like that brings temptations-other women and financial extravagances. However‚ Denzel and his bride have put family first to create an enviable marriage and a happy home. In an interview with People‚ Denzel shared that there were "too many things;" he couldn't name just one thing that he appreciates about wife Pauletta. He said‚ "What pops into my head: security‚ food‚ a beautiful home. The difference between a house and a home‚ it's a big difference."

Pauletta and Denzel have four grown children. John David‚ Katia‚ Olivia‚ and Malcolm have all embarked on careers in the entertainment business. And‚ while Pauletta is also a talented actor and musician‚ having appeared in Beloved‚ Philadelphia‚ and She's Gotta Have It‚ she has put her own career second to raising and supporting her family. Denzel Washington’s Marriage is a Special One Denzel once shared‚ "She has been the consistent one. She has given the daily religious instruction. She was the one taking them to school‚ while I was out providing." Pauletta acknowledged that it's a team effort‚ saying‚ "It takes a lot of sacrifice on both parties' part." Denzel (69) and Pauletta (72) demonstrate profound respect for one another‚ neither taking credit for their success-instead recognizing the contributions of one another throughout their long and happy marriage. Over the years‚ the Crimson Tide star has stated‚ "You know‚ they say behind every great man there’s a great woman. Well‚ my wife is in front of me. I’m following her."

Moderna announced a $750 million funding boost from Blackstone Life Sciences to its influenza mRNA vaccine program. “We combine scale capital with deep clinical development expertise to help advance innovative medicines and technologies with the potential to transform patients’ lives. Our team invests across the life cycle of companies and products in a range of therapeutic areas‚” Blackstone Life Sciences states on its website. “Moderna on Wednesday said Blackstone’s life sciences arm would offer $750 million to help fund development of its flu vaccines‚ bolstering the company’s efforts to advance multiple vaccines in the face of a steep decline in sales of its COVID-19 shots‚” Reuters reports. “Blackstone Life Sciences will get commercial milestone payments and low-single digit royalties on the influenza vaccine as part of the agreement‚ said Moderna‚ whose current lone marketed product is its COVID-19 shot. Moderna will also pay Blackstone a proportional royalty on the combination vaccine against influenza and COVID‚ if it is approved‚ based on the fair value for the flu component‚” Chief Nerd cited. “Moderna on Wednesday said Blackstone's life sciences arm would offer $750 million to help fund development of its flu vaccines‚ bolstering the company's efforts to advance multiple vaccines in the face of a steep decline in sales of its COVID-19 shots.

Moderna’s flu program suffered some initial setbacks‚ with a previous version of the seasonal flu candidate mRNA-1010 failing to meet the noninferiority threshold for two influenza B strains a year ago. But by September 2023 the company was back on track‚ with an updated formula of the shot besting GSK’s Fluarix in phase 3.
