Denzel Washington fans were stunned after seeing recent videos of his daughter Katia and wife Colleen Wilson.
Katia, 37, and Colleen attended the Critics Choice Association’s 7th Annual Celebration of Black Film and Television in Los Angeles on December 9.
Denzel’s eldest daughter, who works as a film producer, looked very stylish dressed in a dark khaki green jacket and matching pants, which she paired with a white shirt and skinny tie.
Former dancer Colleen, who is reportedly 6ft 4in, also dressed up for the occasion and looked chic in a black off-the-shoulder midi dress, which she teamed with nude heels and a gold clutch.
Katia smiled from ear to ear as she posed for photographs with her wife, who dominated her.
When images of the couple on the blue carpet at Fairmont Century Plaza were shared on TikTok, people couldn’t help but notice the height difference.
‘Is she really short or is his wife just very tall?’ one person asked, while another commented: ‘How tall is she!!!’
A third TikTok user mused: “I wonder how tall his wife is.”

When images of the couple were shared on TikTok, people couldn’t help but comment on their height difference.
Another commented: ‘The height difference is crazy. Since I’m a tall girl, I love that she’s still wearing heels.”
Referring to many people being surprised that Denzel, 69, had a daughter, someone else wrote: ‘Y’all baffled because it’s his daughter I’m trying to find out HOW TALL HIS WIFE IS???! Damn!’
A different person jokingly said, “Ma’am, I need you to wear flat shoes everywhere.”
Denzel and his wife of 41 years, Pauletta Pearson, share four children.
The couple said “I do” in June 1983 and welcomed their first child, John David, almost a year later in July 1984.
Katia followed in November 1986, and in April 1991, Denzel and Pauletta welcomed twins Malcolm and Olivia.
Both Katia and Malcolm have somewhat followed in their famous father’s footsteps and both work in the film industry.
The latter’s directorial debut, The Piano Lesson, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024, and Denzel, who was a producer on the film, was there to support it.

The Hollywood actor recently gushed about being “most proud” of his four children because “they are good people.”
“I’m happy that people have the opportunity to see what a filmmaker Malcolm is,” she told PEOPLE on the red carpet.
Katia also produced the film, while John David appears in the film as Boy Willie.
Talking about his offspring during an interview with gift In November, the Gladiator II star couldn’t help but gush about her kids.
“When I think about what I’m most proud of, everything I’ve accomplished doesn’t even come to mind,” he said, adding, “They’re our kids — they’re good people.” They know how to distinguish between good and evil. What more could you ask for?
