Married in 1996, Forest, 62, and Keisha raised two daughters, Sonnet, 27, and True, 25. Despite their 2015 divorce, they maintained an amicable relationship, emphasizing mutual respect and co-parenting commitment.
True’s emotional Instagram farewell reflects the deep mother-daughter bond, expressing love with a poignant “Goodbye mommy. I love you 4ever and beyond.” Keisha Nash Whitaker, renowned as a model, actress, and entrepreneur, left her mark in the fashion industry with her children’s clothing line and cosmetics brand, Kissable Couture, showcasing her passion and creativity.
