Am I on crack? How did I not know that Regina King dated Malcolm Jamal Warner for two years? And it was recent too – they only split up in 2013. I have no memory of their relationship whatsoever. You probably recognize Regina from her incredibly varied work in film and television over the past twenty years. You probably best know Malcolm-Jamal as Theo on The Cosby Show, but he’s also been working consistently for decades, and good God, he turned into a good looking man. He’s on Major Crimes nowadays and I LOVE HIM. He’s also guested on Sons of Anarchy, American Horror Story and tons of other stuff. So, Malcolm and Regina were together. For a while, it sounds like. And then on Valentine’s Day 2013, Malcolm dumped Regina with a bouquet of flowers. Ouch.
Hold up! Did Regina King’s ex-boyfriend Malcolm-Jamal Warner break up with her on Valentine’s Day back in 2013? It sure sounds like it!
The Boondocks actress hinted just that while chatting with Us Weekly at the Elle Women in TV Celebration sponsored by Olay and Hearts on Fire Diamonds on Tuesday, Jan. 13, in West Hollywood, Calif.
When asked what her favorite Valentine’s gift has been so far, the actress told Us: “That’s tough because I don’t have one — someone broke up with me on Valentine’s. D—k! Yeah. I’m serious. Then he actually sent me flowers that said, ‘I still love you’ and I threw the flowers in the trash and he was upset that I threw them in the trash and I was like, ‘F—k you.’”
Although King, 43, wouldn’t name the ex with bad timing by name, she hinted people can assume it’s Warner, 44. “They’ll know,” she said, before adding, “I love flowers but he thought that was right. What an ass, right?”
In case you’re not up to speed on King’s past love life, Us exclusively revealed two years ago that the two former child stars — who lived together — suddenly called it quits on their two year relationship in March 2013. At the time, a source told Us King was totally blindsided and heartbroken after the Cosby Show alum called things off because he “wasn’t feeling it anymore.”
King was previously married to Ian Alexander Sr. from 1997 to 2007. Together they share 18-year-old son Ian Alexander Jr.
So, that’s another shock: Regina King is the mother of an 18-year-old son. Crazy. As for what Regina said… that’s a terrible break up. It’s always a bad break up when the guy won’t even tell you to your face that he “isn’t feeling it” anymore, but to do it with flowers on Valentine’s Day? Douche. Terrible douche. Terrible good-looking douche. With a voice like butter. No, I have to stop this! God, they were living together too! That’s horrible.
