Very close

Ian Alexander Jr. was a DJ and the actress never missed a chance to publicly declare how proud she was of him.

“I am moved because my son is an extraordinary young man, and it took me becoming a mother to realize what an incredible woman my own mother is.

You don't know what unconditional love is.

You can say you know it, but if you don't have kids, you don't know what it is.

But when you experience it, it is the greatest satisfaction there is.

So that's the most important part of who I am.

Being Ian's mother," she told CNN in 2011.

The young man and his mother, who were very close, had an identical symbol tattooed, which means "Unconditional love" in Aramaic.
