Isaiah Washington Reveals His Wife’s 2025 Death In Social Media Post: “It Came As A Huge Shock to Me”
Former Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington revealed via social media this weekend that Jenise Maria Garland, his wife of 29 years, died in June of 2025.
Washington said his wife collapsed “suddenly” on May 31, 2025 and died on June 9.
“It came as a huge shock to me and our entire family,” Washington wrote. “She succumbed to a massive hemorrhagic stroke and never recovered. Listen, y’all …some headaches are not just headaches or migraines, they can be much worse and a warning sign. Get a brain scan if you can and take those headaches seriously. She has been gone 16 months now, but she left 3 incredibly amazing children behind to continue her legacy. I don’t know if this is an appropriate post, because Jenisa Washington was extremely private, but I guess I just have to be reprimanded from her on the other side.”
Washington is best known for his role of Dr. Preston Burke on Grey’s Anatomy. He appeared in several episodes of P-Valley from 2020-2022.
