Viola Davis and her husband Julius Tennon

Black love is thriving, and Viola Davis and Julius Tennon are the proof. Today, we celebrate their beautiful union — a love story that has inspired us for over two decades. From red carpets to real-life devotion, they’ve shown what it means to be partners in purpose, power, and peace.

Viola, the powerhouse behind unforgettable roles like Annalise Keating in How to Get Away With Murder, Aibileen in The Help, Michelle Obama in The First Lady, and Nanisca in The Woman King, continues to break ground on-screen while holding it down at home. Julius, her equally brilliant partner, has acted, produced, and stood firmly by her side through every chapter.

We love to see Black women loved loudly, tenderly, and completely. Happy Anniversary, Viola & Julius — from all of us at Black Film Wire. 🖤

What’s Next?

Closing arguments are expected Thursday, and jurors will begin deliberations shortly after. With potential life sentences on the line, the next moves are critical — but for now, all eyes remain locked on a courtroom with no star witness.
