Okay, so I kept seeing the name Ian Alexander Sr. pop up here and there, mostly when reading stuff about Regina King or that really sad news about her son.

It got me thinking, like, who actually is this guy? You hear the name, but he’s not really in the spotlight himself, you know? So, I decided to do a little digging. Just basic searching online, nothing too fancy. I wanted to piece together the story for myself.
My Little Search Process
First thing I did was just type “Ian Alexander Sr.” into the search bar. Lots of results came back, mostly linking him to Regina King. It was pretty clear right away that was his main connection, public-wise.
I clicked around a few articles, just trying to get the basic facts straight. It wasn’t like finding info on a big movie star; it was more about connecting the dots between him, Regina, and their son.
What I Found Out
So, here’s the gist of what I gathered:
- He was married to Regina King. They were together for a while, I think like ten years or so, before they split up.
- They had one son together, Ian Alexander Jr., born back in ’96. This seemed like the most important connection people talked about.
- I saw mentions that Sr. worked in the music industry. Something about Warner Bros. Records, like an executive role back in the day. So, he had his own thing going on too, just not super public.
Then, of course, the searching brought up the really tough part of the story. You can’t look up the family without seeing the news about Ian Alexander Jr. passing away. He was making his own way as a DJ and artist, following a bit in the music footsteps maybe. Finding out he died by suicide in early 2022, that was just awful. Really puts a somber tone on everything else you find.

So yeah, that was my little journey trying to figure out who Ian Alexander Sr. was. Started with curiosity about a name I kept hearing, went through the search results, and pieced together his connection to Regina King and the tragic story of their son. He seems like a private guy mostly known through his family links.
