Ian Alexander Jr., the only child of award-winning actor and director Regina King, has died, just days after turning 26.
Regina King and Ian Alexander Jr. attend the 2019 American Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on November 24, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
"Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian," a family statement shared Saturday by a King spokesman said. "He is such a bright light who cared so deeply about the happiness of others. Our family asks for respectful consideration during this private time."The "One Night in Miami" director shared Alexander with her former husband, record producer Ian Alexander Sr. The two divorced in 2007 after 10 years of marriage.
For his mother's 50th birthday last year, Alexander posted a tribute on Instagram that read in part: "To be able to watch you take this lifetime by its neck and make it yours is something i will forever be grateful for. But to have you as my mother is the greatest gift I could ask for." "You don’t know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don’t have a child, you don’t know what that is," said the Oscar, Golden Globe and four-time Emmy winner. "When you experience it, it’s the most fulfilling ever.""Deepest condolences and prayers for strength to @ReginaKing.
