Forest Whitaker Has Night Out with Daughters Sonnet and True — See the Fun Family Moment

Forest Whitaker is one dynamic dad!

The Godfather of Harlem star, 63, attended the 2024 Faces of Hope Gala on Friday, Sept. 27, when he was joined by his two daughters, Sonnet, 27, and True, 26, whom he shared with his late ex-wife, Keisha Nash.

Whitaker had a matching moment with True, as the father-daughter pair both donned sleek black outfits. The actor wore a tuxedo with a bow tie, while True wore a silk gown with a lace bodice. She matched the dress with a black purse, black heels and a dark red lip. 

As for Sonnet, she opted for a softer look in a pink dress with silver sequins and feather sleeves. She held a silver purse to match and wore pink eyeshadow and a light red lip. 

Whitaker posed for photos with an arm around each of his daughters. Sonnet and her look-a-like father could be seen grinning widely, while True shot a small smile at the camera.

The family’s appearance at the event came several months after Nash’s funeral in January. Whitaker, Sonnet and True previously attended the celebration of life ceremony alongside Nash’s elder daughter Autumn, whom she had from a previous relationship.
