That’s the secret of their love
Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson have known each other since college, have been married for 41 years and have had daughter Zoe (40) since 1982. They revealed the secret of their long marriage in an interview with “People”-Magazin. “We are two people who respect, love and care for each other,” said Samuel L. Jackson.
At the beginning of their relationship, they said to each other: “The most revolutionary thing black people can do is stay together and raise their children with a father and mother.” There would be too many children who only grow up with their mother. “To change that image, we decided to say, ‘We’ll stick together no matter what. We’ll find a solution,'” LaTanya Richardson Jackson said.
