With heavy hearts, we announce the untimely passing of Keisha Nash Whitaker, former wife of acclaimed actor Forest Whitaker, at 51 due to her courageous battle with anorexia.

True Whitaker, Keisha’s 25-year-old daughter, paid a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, describing her as “the most beautiful woman in the world.” Keisha’s departure leaves a void in their lives, her memory cherished as they face the challenging journey ahead.

Struggling with anorexia for years, Keisha had unwavering support from Forest Whitaker, the Academy Award-winning actor. Her passing underscores the devastating impact of eating disorders, highlighting the crucial need for mental and physical health. 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.

With Keisha’s passing, Forest Whitaker undoubtedly feels a profound impact. Despite their 1996 Jamaican wedding and 2018 divorce, the love and memories endure.

Keisha’s passing is a poignant reminder of eating disorders’ impact, emphasizing the need for mental and physical well-being. Her memory will live on, a testament to her strength.
