Jonah Hauer-King’s mother exposed him to acting

As of now, there is no harm in saying that Hauer-King’s acting has managed to mesmerize millions worldwide. And all of this was possible due to his mother, who first exposed him to acting.

To begin from the start, Hauer-King is the youngest child of his parents, Jeremy King and Debra Hauer — the actor’s last name is a combined form of his parents’ last names. His father is a prominent London restaurateur, and his mother is currently a psychotherapist.

But before his mother began working as a psychotherapist, she was a theatre director and producer. And it was at that time that Hauer-King got exposed to theatre and acting. The actor has mentioned that his mom used to take her to different shows.

Additionally, he has stated that his father and mother initially gave him a realistic outlook on pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. But when he admitted to them that this was what he wanted, his parents were very supportive and have been the same ever since.

These statements from Hauer-King came during his 2016 interview with Broadway World, where he said, “My mum was a director and a producer, so I owe a lot of my love of theatre to her.”

He continued, “She’d always take me to shows, and she gave me quite a diverse exposure to the theatre world. Though I grew up with it, I never really admitted to myself that I wanted to act until my mid-teens.”

“My parents gave me a very realistic outlook on being in this industry — the uncertainty and instability. They didn’t actively encourage me until I said, ‘This is what I want to do,’ and they’ve been hugely supportive ever since,” he concluded his statement.

Speaking more of his parents, it has been reported that they are divorced. His parents ended their decades-long marriage in 2005 after being married for 24 years. It has also been reported that his mother chose to become a psychotherapist after their divorce, mainly for a change.

As for other members of his family, it has already been mentioned that he is the youngest child of his parents. So, how many older siblings does the actor have? And who are they? Well, Jonah has two older siblings: sisters named Hannah Hauer-King and Margot Hauer-King.

Hannah is the eldest of three siblings — she was born on April 16, 1991. And Margot is the middle child — she was born on May 30, 1993. His sisters have a well-maintained life and career, with Hannah being a theatre, comedy, cabaret, and musical director.

As for his nationality, Jonah has dual citizenship – British and American – as his mother is American and his dad is English. Likewise, his religion is Jewish – his mother is Ashkenazi Jewish – and he grew up in a North London Jewish family.

Currently, Hauer-King is relishing the fame his acting skills have attracted. Additionally, he is working on four more acting projects: Fabio D’Andrea: One Small Step, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, A Beautiful Imperfection, and Rich Flu.

Considering all that, it’s sure that he has earned a healthy sum throughout his acting career. Well, it has been reported that his estimated net worth in 2023 is around $1 million – $2 million. And these numbers will increase as he continues to get more projects.

Kenn Whitaker is a former American actor who worked in the entertainment industry during the late 1990s and briefly in the early 2000s. He made his acting debut in 1997 by playing the role of a bus guard in the movie Most Wanted.

Afterward, he appeared in minor roles in movies and TV shows, such as Tracey Takes On…, Bulworth, Party of Five, Life, and The Theory of the Leisure Class. His last appearance in any movie or TV show came in 2001’s Last Days, where he played the role of Ben Forchet.

While Kenn’s acting endeavors didn’t give him much limelight, he earned that as the younger brother of Forest Whitaker, an Academy Award-winning actor. Besides Forest, Kenn has two other siblings: a brother named Damon Whitaker and a sister named Deborah Whitaker.

Is Kenn Whitaker married to a wife?

Unlike his famous actor brother, Kenn is relatively private about everything he does. And he has been this way since the start. As a result, there aren’t many details known about him, even if we do a thorough search about him on the internet.

Due to the same privacy, people have become more interested in learning about Kenn, mainly his personal life. Netizens are keen to know if the former actor is raising children with his wife, dating a girlfriend, or is still single.

But the answers to all these questions remain behind the curtains, again due to Kenn’s private life. To this date, Kenn hasn’t come out in the spotlight and revealed if he is married to a wife and shares children with her.

It might be possible that he might have a wife and kids or is dating his girlfriend. On the other hand, it’s also possible that he neither has a wife nor a girlfriend. And the condition remains the same until any official source sheds light on his love life.

On the other hand, some outlets have reported that Kenn is happily married to his longtime wife, LaTanya Whitaker. The same outlets have also mentioned that he and his wife share two children named Kewann and Kajah Whitaker.

That said, the information of him sharing the wedding vows with a partner and sharing two kids is yet to be confirmed by an official source. These reports might be accurate and false, and nothing can be said about it until anyone confirms it.

Kenn Whitaker’s career aside from acting

Besides acting, Kenn has been involved in a few careers. One of them is his contribution to the soundtrack division of movie productions, which happened years before he made his acting debut in 1997.

In 1993, Kenn worked in the soundtrack division for the TV movie Strapped. He wrote and performed in one of the songs titled ‘I Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere.’ He also wrote two more songs titled ‘No Place To Be Somebody’ and ‘Somebody’s Gettin’ Got Tonight.’

Moving on, Kenn is also listed as a businessman. At the age of 25, the now-former actor started his record label company named Urban Street. That said, there have been no updates about his record label company and whether it’s still in business.

To sum up, Kenn was a man of many talents. And thanks to his talent, he was able to make a healthy income, which could also be seen in his net worth. As per reports, he accumulated an estimated net worth of around $1 million.
