Regina King Breaks Silence on Son’s Death: “Grief Is a Journey, I Am a Different Person”

Regina King has largely avoided the spotlight following the tragic death of her son, Ian Alexander Jr.

As reported, the star’s only child committed suicide just days after his 26th birthday.

Now, two years after the harrowing experience, the Oscar winner is breaking her silence.

Sitting down with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, the star opened up about life after losing her son.

Full story below…

An emotional King waxed candid when Roberts tactfully broached the topic of Ian Alexander Jr.’s death.

Admitting she is now a “different person now” she continued:

“Grief is a journey. I understand that grief is love that has no place to go. And that we all handle it differently.”

The full interview airs Thursday and will see King also talk her new movie, ‘Shirley’ – which she has also dedicated to her son.
