Keisha Nash Whitaker was initially famous for being a Hollywood actress, but her fame peaked when she married the Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker. Their marriage lasted for over two decades, and it was a surprise when news of their divorce broke and made headlines for several weeks. 

Who Is Keisha Nash Whitaker?

Keisha Nash Whitaker is an African-American actress, film producer, entrepreneur, and former model. She is famously known for her movies and marriage to the award-winning actor Forest Whitaker.

Born Keisha Simone Nash, she came into this world on March 8, 1972, in Boston, Massachusetts. Her birth parents’ identities are unknown; it is unclear if they’re still alive as of 2023. 

Keisha grew up in a family of four, with her brother Jeffery Nash as her only sibling. The family seems to have a lot of entertainment talent, as her brother Jeffery is also into the entertainment business. He is an actor, producer, and writer who is known for movies like “Super Sucker,” “Spectrum,” and “Proud,” which he starred alongside his sister. 

Regarding her educational background, Keisha completed her high school education at Boston High School. Not long after, she enrolled at Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts. 

Keisha Nash’s Career

Keisha initially started her career wanting to become a supermodel. Due to her good looks and physique, she quickly got noticed and was represented by Ford Models and Elite Model Management. 

On a whim, she decided to try acting again in 2004 after acting briefly in 1994. She realized how great she was at it and kick-started her acting career with a role in the movie “Proud,” which also had her brother Jeffery in it. She starred as a character named Collette, and her performance caught the attention of lots of viewers. 

Later that same year, Keisha created “Kassim the Dream,” a documentary based on the life of the world-renowned champion boxer Kassim. She was the documentary’s executive producer, which was highly successful after its release. In 2008, “Kassim the Dream” was nominated for an IDA Award.

As a woman of many talents, Keisha is also an entrepreneur. She is the proud owner of the “Kissable Couture” lip gloss collection and clothing, which has also seen its fair share of success.

Her business in the fashion industry also inspires her days as a host on the TV show “Who Are You Wearing.” Keisha has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and is still active. 

Is Keisha Nash Still Forest Whitaker’s Wife?

No, Keisha Nash and Forest Whitaker are no longer a couple. The couple first met on the set of the 1994 film “Blown Away,” where she played his love interest. Not long after, they started dating and fell head over heels in love with each other. They tied the knot in a private ceremony in Jamaica in 1996 and remained together for twenty-two years!

During their marriage, they welcomed two wonderful children, Sonnet Noel and True. Sonnet was their first daughter, born the same year her parents got married in 1996, while their second daughter, True, was born two years later in 1998. 

The couple also shared another daughter, Autumn, born in 1991 from Keisha’s previous relationship. All three kids grew up together and were raised to be close to one another. 

Keisha Nash and Forest Whitaker’s Divorce 

When the news broke that Forest Whitaker filed for divorce in December 2018, social media and fans entered a frenzy. He cited irreconcilable disagreements in the court records and refused to pay spousal support. 

Understandably, this was a massive shock to fans worldwide as the couple had been together for 22 years and seemed inseparable. Their divorce was eventually finalized in 2021, and they remain co-parents to their children. Forest and Keisha are still unmarried and have not been associated with any partners since the divorce. 

Keisha Nash’s Social Media 

The celebrity ex-wife is active on social media. She has over 4.1k followers on Twitter and about 1.1k followers on Instagram. 

Keisha Nash’s Net Worth 

Thanks to her many sources of income, Keisha has built substantial wealth to sustain her lifestyle and family. She has a net worth estimated to be $700,000. 

Her ex-husband, Forest Whitaker, has a net worth of $25 million thanks to his outstanding performances in his movies. He is known as a veteran actor in the entertainment industry and has many accolades.
