Malcolm-Jamal Warner found the love of his life before he tragically died in July 2025. The late 54-year-old actor, who rose to prominence thanks to The Cosby Show, was in multiple relationships during his career until he married his wife. With fame comes unwanted attention, though, so Warner chose to protect his family’s privacy as much as possible.
Below, find out everything we know about Warner’s wife.
Yes, Warner was married at the time of his sudden July 2025 death. Multiple outlets reported that he was with his family on vacation in Costa Rica when he died.
The identity of Warner’s wife is unknown since he chose to keep her name away from the public eye. However, he opened up about their marriage a few times. Just two months before his death, Warner appeared on the “Hot & Bothered” podcast, where he talked about meeting his wife and how she changed his mind about having children.
“I wasn’t sure if I would ever get married or have kids,” Warner explained. “I think because growing up, I knew … myself well enough to know that I was not going to get married and give a woman half of my s**t ’cause I f**ked up. I spent more of my adult life in long-term relationships than not.”
That all changed when Warner met his wife, and the two enjoyed a slow-burn romance.
Warner pointed out during his May 2025 “Hot & Bothered” podcast appearance that he met his wife through a mutual friend.
