Regina King’s son Ian Alexander Jr. has died at 26, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

“Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian,” said King in a statement obtained by THR on Friday evening. “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.”



A cause of death was not provided, but according to People, Ian died by suicide.

King shared Ian with her ex-husband, record producer Ian Alexander Sr. Ian was an artist and DJ who posted on Instagram just three days ago about an upcoming event at Bardot this month.


The If Beale Street Could Talk actress appeared close with her son, revealing on The View in a 2017 interview that the pair got matching tattoos. We were taking Kabbalah classes,” King said at the time. “He said, let’s choose three [designs] each and not tell each other which ones they are and whichever one is matching, that’s the one we’re going to get tattooed — and we both chose unconditional love.”

A week ago, King took to Instagram to urge her followers to support Ian’s new track, “Green Eyes,” sharing a short clip.

Ian paid tribute to King on her 50th birthday last year, writing on Instagram: “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.”
 
Was just told about this. Damn. Wonder where did it go wrong enough for him to take his own life?
 
The fact Regina or her team had to release a statement because the media was already reporting this is so tasteless. I understand she’s a celeb but got damn they rush to tell us about death more than anything. Humans are desensitized to everything and it’s really sad. This is such a cold cold world 😢 May Ian’s love give her unwavering strength and peace during this horrible time….
 
This is sad.

Ive had people I love die naturally and it hurts a ton but I got over it.

I have 1 person I love that got murdered and I still havent gotten over it.

I cant imagine how having someone I loved dying from suicide must feel.

Wishing her family peace

Yeah B. Scott broke the story last night...the clout chasing stunt kween that he is
 
you never really kno what someone is goin thru, esp. if they don't say nothin


& a lot of folks think money is the end all be all


so the more you got, the happier you'll be



but that's not necessarily the reality


nonetheless


R.I.P. to the young brother


We can only speculate but, mental illness is real.

Like you said, especially if they don't say nothin. Bruh must've been struggling so bad internally, he felt this was the only way to resolve it. Who knows
 
I couldn't even imagine the amount of hurt one would feel if they have to bury their child or how much pain one has to be in to feel that death is the only solution...

Stories like these make you want to check on your people.

I remember when my cousin was killed and his moms was inconsolable and we felt her pain but it was no way to truly understand having to bury your child.
 
No matter what their age losing a child is absolutely devastating.
I didn't know Ian personally, not sure of what was going on in his life that wasn't on social media but I bet he went to Regina one day and said : Mom I want to be a musician. She likely said ok but go to college and get a degree and I will support you in any way I can.
He was making music ,booking gigs seemingly enjoying himself but it still wasn't enough. So sad........RIP
