The star of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, Forest Whitaker is married to actress Keisha Nash. The couple has four children - two daughters together (Sonnet and True), a son named Ocean from his previous relationship, and a daughter named Autumn from her previous relationship.

He is quoted in Black Celebrity Kids saying:

“If guys were to come around, I might take a serious tone. But I love (Autumn) and trust her. Hopefully, I’ve taught her well enough to make the right decisions.”
