Regina King's only son has tragically died.
Ian Alexander Jr. took his own life Wednesday, the day he turned 26.
Ian is the son of Ian Alexander Sr., who married Regina in 1997. They were together 10 years before divorcing.
Regina said, "Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian. 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. Thank you."
Regina & her son would sometimes walk the red carpet together for events & it was apparent how proud she was of him.
Ian once said of Regina, "She's just a super mom. She doesn't really let bad workdays or anything come back & ruin the time that we have. It's really awesome to have a mother who I can enjoy spending time with."
When Regina turned 50 in 2021, Ian posted this on Instagram ... "Happy birthday to my co, so extremely proud of you & inspired by your love, artistry & gangsta. 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. To be all that you are while always having the time to be there, love & support me unconditionally is truly remarkable. The whole marvel universe ain't got s*** on you, your the real superhero! Love you mom! This day and everyday YO DAY!!"
