Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, has tragically drowned while vacationing in Costa Rica with his family. He is survived by his wife and daughter, whose identities he chose to keep private.
A Brief Look at His Relationships
Although Warner reportedly married sometime between 2016 and 2017, his dating history includes several notable Hollywood figures. His past relationships have included:
Michelle Thomas
Warner dated Michelle Thomas from 1988 to 1994 after meeting on The Cosby Show, where Thomas portrayed the character of Theo’s girlfriend. Their relationship lasted until Thomas’s untimely death from cancer in 1998, during which Warner was reportedly by her side.
Karen Malina White
From 2000 to 2007, Warner was in a relationship with Karen Malina White, who also starred on The Cosby Show as Charmaine Brown. Despite rumors of marriage, White later clarified that they were in a long-term relationship rather than legally wed.
Regina King
Warner’s last public relationship before his private marriage was with Regina King. They initially met during the filming of The Cosby Show in the 1980s, but their romance blossomed around 2010-2011. In an interview, King revealed that their relationship ended in 2013 when Warner expressed he “wasn’t feeling it anymore,” a split that left her “heartbroken.”
