Samuel L. Jackson and his wife LaTanya Richardson had a delightful evening together.
The couple graced the red carpet and panel event commemorating the 30th anniversary of Pulp Fiction at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on April 18.
In the 1994 film, Jackson portrayed the iconic character Jules Winnfield, alongside renowned figures such as director Quentin Tarantino, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Bruce Willis.
At the anniversary celebration, Jackson, 75, looked dapper in a long white shirt with a patterned trim over a matching top, while his wife opted for a chic black dress paired with sandals.
The couple radiated happiness as Jackson wrapped his arm around Richardson while posing for the cameras.
Richardson and Jackson tied the knot in 1980 and are proud parents to their Emmy-winning daughter Zoe, who is a reality TV producer, aged 42.

The couple first met as undergraduates and began dating in 1970, sharing their passion for performance as part of the Morehouse Spelman Players.
Reflecting on their journey, Richardson emphasized the importance of Black families staying together to challenge stereotypes.
She stated, “In the beginning, we always said the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together, raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother, since everybody likes to pretend that that’s not the dynamic of the African American family.”
Despite the challenges, they remained committed to their decision to stay together, no matter what obstacles they faced.
In August 2023, Jackson and Richardson celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary, with Jackson humorously noting,
“It’s 53 really. She test drove me for 10!! I passed. I think we can make 43 more!!! Love everlasting!!!!!!”
