Regina King previously exchanged the vows with television actor Ian Alexander Sr., 65. He appeared in The Chris Isaak Show and the TV series Masters of Horror. The union between the two lasted for a decade. The couple decided to share the matrimony vows on April 23, 1997, a year after the birth of their only child on Janaury 19, 1996.

The British Columbia native met Regina in the early 1990s and eventually developed romantic feelings. The former flame settled in Los Angeles and made several appearances at red carpet events.

In addition, Alexander Sr reportedly served as his spouse's biggest support when she battled Parkinson's disease. Sadly, their marriage fell apart in 2007, and they got divorced that same year, citing an extra-marital affair from Ian. Once in an interview, King accused him of drug addiction and physically assaulting her.
