LARRY King’s family is as big as his name is in showbusiness.
Here we look at his five children as the veteran chat show battles Covid-19 at the Cedar-Sinai medical center in Los Angeles.
1) How many children does Larry King have?
Larry King had five children over the course of his seven marriages.
The first was born in 1961 and the last in 2000.
2) Who are Larry King’s children?
They are:
Larry King Jr
King was later briefly married to Annette Kaye, who gave birth to his son, Larry Jr., in November 1961.
King reportedly did not meet Larry Jr. until his son was in his thirties.
The host shocked his fans in 2009 when he revealed that he had a son with Kaye.
He introduced his Larry King Jr. to the world on his CNN show Larry King Life.
Andy King
In 1961, King married his third wife, Alene Akins, a Playboy Bunny, at one of the magazine’s nightclubs.
King adopted Alene’s son Andy in 1962, although the couple divorced the following year.
Andy died on July 28 of last year aged 65, from what the family said was a heart attack.
Chaia King
King remarried Akins, with whom he had a second child, Chaia, in 1969.
Chaia co-wrote a children’s book, titled Daddy Day, Daughter Day with King in 1997.
Sadly, she died on August 19 aged just 51 after succumbing to lung cancer.
King expressed sorrow at his children’s passing this summer, calling the deaths of Andy and Chaia a double tragedy.
“It is with sadness and a father’s broken heart that I confirm the recent loss of two of my children, Andy King, and Chaia King,” he wrote in August.
“Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child,” he continued.
Chance King
Chance Armstrong King was born in March 1999.
It came after King married his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick, who is a singer, actress, and TV host.
They wed in King’s Los Angeles hospital room three days before King underwent heart surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel.
Chance is now a high school graduate who is currently working in North Carolina.
Cannon King
Cannon was born in May 2000 to Shawn.
He is a college baseball player, according to reports.
