Tenisha Warner is the widow of the late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who passed away in July 2025. She is the mother of their daughter, MacKenzie Warner, and the daughter-in-law of Pamela Warner.
In August 2026, Tenisha shared a social media tribute honoring her late husband on what would have been his 56th birthday. She reflected on her grief journey and shared that the actor preferred simple family celebrations over large industry events. The post featured a photo of the couple's nine-year-old daughter inside a room decorated with a birthday banner and stuffed animals.
Following her husband's passing, Tenisha became involved in an intense court battle with Pamela Warner over the late actor's multi-million dollar estate. Reports indicate Tenisha initiated legal proceedings seeking millions, claiming her husband failed to follow through on financial commitments, while Pamela later filed court documents alleging Tenisha cut off all contact with her granddaughter.
