		</div><p>Ian Alexander Jr, the only child of award-winning actor and director Regina King, has died aged 26.</p>
<p>A statement from a King spokesman said: “Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>No further details were released.</p>
<p>an Alexander Jr was the son of the One Night In Miami director and her former husband, record producer Ian Alexander Sr. They divorced in 2007.</p>
<p>The younger Alexander was a DJ who often accompanied King to red carpet events.</p>
<p>He told E! News at the 2019 Golden Globes: “She’s just a super mom. She doesn’t really let bad work days or anything come back and ruin the time that we have.</p>

<p>“It’s really awesome to have a mother who I can enjoy spending time with.”</p>
<p>They had matching tattoos reading “unconditional love” in Aramaic.</p>
<p>“We were taking Kabbalah classes,” King said in 2017.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>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 (sic) will forever be grateful for. But to have you as my mother is the greatest gift I could ask for.”</p>
<p>On Instagram a week ago, King shared a clip of her son’s latest track, Green Eyes, urging her followers to check it out.</p>
<p>In an interview with People, she once called her son “an amazing young man” and spoke of the love between mother and child.</p>
<p>“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.</p>

<p>“When you experience it, it’s the most fulfilling (thing) ever.”</p>
<p>Word spread quickly on social media.</p>
<p>“Deepest condolences and prayers for strength to @ReginaKing. Sending back to her all the warmth and light and support she has extended to me and to so many others,” Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defence and Educational Fund, posted on Twitter.</p>
<p>King, a star in If Beale Street Could Talk and numerous other films, is the recipient of two NAACP Image Awards.</p>
<p>Bernice King, chief executive of the Martin Luther King Jr Centre for Nonviolent Change, posted on Twitter: “Praying for Regina King. She needs all the grace and light that can flow her way right now.”</p>
