Regina King’s Son Ian Alexander Takes His Own Life

We are very sad to learn about the passing of Ian Alexander, Regina King’s only son. The actress issued a public statement regarding the loss of her only child. The public is rallying support for Regina King after the devastating news. Ian Alexander, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Wednesday, is no longer with us.

The award winning actress is one of the most respected and positive entertainers in the industry. Fans, as well as friends, have taken to social media to send love and kind words her way. The actress, 51, confirmed the tragic news on Friday.

“Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian. He is such a bright light who cared about the happiness of others. Our family asks for respectful consideration during this private time. Thank you.” She said in the statement.

King shared a close bond with her son. An artist and DJ who often accompanied her to events and called her ‘super mom’ at the 2019 Golden Globes. Ian shared a lovely message for Regina’s 50th birthday last year on his Instagram. Ian was the actress’s only child who she shared with her ex-husband of nine years.

Just three days ago, Ian, who was a musician, announced that he had a performance coming up next week and encouraged his followers to purchase tickets. Now, his comment sections are riddled with grieving supporters who share kind words.

We offer our sincerest condolences to King and her loved ones during this difficult time.
