Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s wife goes public for first time since his death

Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s widow has identified herself for the first time since The Cosby Show actor drowned during a family vacation in Costa Rica in July.

Malcolm-Jamal was deeply private before his death, aged 54, and had not publicly named the woman he married in 2017.

In a statement, Tenisha Warner announced that she was launching a family foundation with their daughter — whose name has also not been shared publicly — and a partner organization called River & Ember, which aims to help parents assist their children through difficult emotions such as grief.
