Oscar winner Forest Whitaker may have reigned as “The Last King of Scotland,” but “Extra” discovered who reigns at home – his wife Keisha!
The happy couple shared with “Extra” their secrets to a happy marriage and what it’s been like to have such a big year.
“It's been amazing, and we're still the same,” Keisha said. “We came home Oscar night, and we were like, ‘Do we make lunches? Do we go to bed?’ I'm not going to lie; it's been unbelievable!”
The statuesque former model, who’s in the midst of remodeling the playroom of their palatial Hollywood Hills home, met the love of her life when she was cast to play his girlfriend in the 90s thriller “Blown Away.”
And it was love at first sight!
“It really was the first time we hung out,” Keisha recalled. “It just worked.”
Twelve years and four kids later, it’s obviously still working for this happy couple.
Maybe that’s because Keisha knows how to get Forest to leave his work at the set and focus on the home.
“If I get him involved in moving something across the room, it's, ‘What is my motivation?’ And I'm like, ‘No honey, we're just moving the chair.’”
Even though her family will always come first, don’t be surprised if you start seeing a lot more of Keisha Whitaker – just not on the red carpet.
“I am actually trying to get into hosting,” she revealed. “I might be interviewing you someday!”

What a bunch of crock I AM the mother of Forest Whitaker son Ocean, who he hasnt seen since January 3 2007, Yes its true , and before that Keisha would not allow Ocean to be at “her” home Forest had to go to hotels in order to see Ocean, SHE definetly wears the pants cause Forest is a Class A Wuss! She has mistreated our Son from day one! He used to come home from his father house and say she made him eat bugs in the cereal. Bottomline Forest hasnt SEEN his son since the new year. Oh yea and he called him the day after his birthday Forest your sons birthday is April 13th. not the 14th and you didnt even send a present!!! Keisha, Forest stop saying you raised 4 kids, you both of you have and had nothing to do with raising the son Forest and I share, not to mention the nannies and maids who run your house and kids for you. You are both full of a bunch of hot air. Oh yea and the Helio phone you bought Ocean for Christmas, why was it turned off once he got home with me? Not to mention Forest you still have no concern about your sons braces, you’ve done nothing for him in years. Dont believe the hype your both the biggest fakes ever. Forest you were once a caring human when I first met you (I was his publicist) now your a Shrek lookalike with a litte evil brat leading you by your nose. I have so much more to tell…..
