But despite her burgeoning fame as an actor and director, King cited Ian as her greatest personal achievement at the time. After nine years of marriage, King and Ian’s father divorced in 2007. King admitted that being a single mother wasn’t always easy, but that her love for her son was stronger than anything else.
“You don’t know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don’t have a child, you don’t know what that is,” she explained at the time. “When you experience it, it’s the most fulfilling [thing] ever.”
Ian paid tribute to his mother, a multi-hyphenate, on Instagram in honor of her 50th birthday last year “As a fellow artist, I’m so grateful to have you as a friend, a mentor, and a source of inspiration. I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to witness you seize this moment in time and make it your own.”
As he spoke, he added: “The biggest blessing in my life, though, is having you as a mother. To be all that you are while still making time to be there for me, unconditionally love and support me, is simply awe-inspiring. You’re the actual superhero, and no one in the Marvel universe has anything on you! You’re the best mother ever! Yay for today and every day of the week!!”

Their tattoos also read “unconditional love” in Aramaic, and they each have them on their shoulders and arms.
Aramaic tattoos on their arms and shoulders read “unconditional love” in Aramaic, which the couple has inked.
On The View in 2017, King explained the ink’s inspiration: “We were taking Kabbalah studies. In order to avoid spoiling the surprise, he suggested that we each pick three tattoo designs and then get the matching one inked. We both settled on the message of “unconditional love.”
