RELATED: Two Of Larry King’s Kids Have Died Within The Past Month "Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child. My family and I thank you for your outpouring of kind sentiments and well wishes. In this moment, we need a little time and privacy to heal. I thank you for respecting that." King adopted Andy into his family after marrying his mother, Alene Akins, in 1961. They would split in 1963 but get back together once more in '67 and divorced again in '72. During their second marriage, they gave birth to Chaia King. It's been an incredibly hard time for the family as they navigate the back-to-back losses of members of their family. Positive healing to the whole family at this time.
