Regina King Honors Late Son Through Wine Brand, Shares Journal Reflections

Regina King continues to honor and connect with her late son Ian Alexander Jr., who died by suicide in January 2022. She often reads the journals he left behind, savoring the moments as a way to maintain a spiritual bond with him. King has launched a new orange wine brand, MianU, inspired by Ian’s artwork and his love for music and the color orange, with the logo featuring an 'M' drawn by Ian that resembles a music note. She has openly discussed Ian’s struggle with depression, noting that although he never outwardly presented his depression to therapists, those close to him were aware of his long battle. King emphasizes the importance of recognizing the complexity of depression and the challenges in understanding those who suffer from it. Through her wine brand and reflections, King aims to create new memories while keeping Ian’s spirit alive.
