The Real Reason Regina King Got Divorced

Posted by Artie Phelan on Monday, June 17, 2024

Most fans of Regina King probably know that she dated The Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner from 2011 to 2013, per Pure Wow, but might forget that her relationship with Warner happened only four years after her divorce from actor and ex-husband Ian Alexander. In the past, King has touched on what went wrong in her marriage.

The Emmy award-winning actress contributed to the 2017 book He Never Came Home: Interviews, Stories, and Essays from Daughters on Life Without Their Fathers, which consisted of 22 personal essays from various girls and women. King wrote, in part (via Essence): "Because of our issues, [her son] Ian was becoming the kid whose parents were so disconnected that they couldn't even sit next to each other, let alone have a civilized conversation. I had been that kid once and it wasn't fun."

As of writing, King is reportedly single and too busy to date anyways. In a 2015 interview with Wendy Williams, she said, "I've been so busy with work and my girlfriends are like, 'Do you think a man is just gonna go knock on the door, like, 'I'm here!'?' And I think I wish he would, but I have to make that more of a priority."
