Whitaker, 62, and Nash, shared True and Sonnet Noel, 27, together. They also have two older children from previous relationships.
The pair reportedly met on the set of 1994’s action thriller film Blown Away.
They married in Jamaica in 1996, but filed for divorce in December 2018.
Whitaker has yet to publicly comment on the shock news.
Nash reportedly told Essence in 2020 that about her first thoughts about Whitaker after watching him in 1991’s A Rage in Harlem.
“Right away, I thought Forest had a gentle soul and a nice spirit,” she said.
She is known for being Tommy Hilfiger’s first African American model and for roles in Proud and Kassim the Dream.
