Aja Naomi King's son, Kian, recently had an adorable moment that left his mother delighted. The three-year-old, who has started to notice his mother in the media, recognized her picture on a billboard. This happened after King was nominated for an Emmy in 2024 for outstanding supporting actress in a limited series for Apple TV+'s "Lessons in Chemistry." King, who also plays a lead role as Catherine in NBC’s "Grosse Pointe Garden Society," is enjoying these family moments alongside her professional achievements.
King, now 40, welcomed Kian in June 2021 with her husband, Dan King. The family recently took a drive to a billboard featuring Aja Naomi King, leading to the heartwarming moment when Kian pointed out his mother's picture.
"That's you, Mommy, that's a picture of you," Kian exclaimed upon seeing the billboard.
To which Aja Naomi King responded with enthusiasm.
"That's me," she confirmed, sharing in her son's excitement.
The young boy has also been experiencing personal milestones, including getting what he calls a "big boy haircut." Kian expressed his desire for a new hairstyle in a conversation with his mother.
"I want my hair short like Daddy," he told her.
Aja Naomi King supported Kian's choice, emphasizing the importance of self-expression.
"Yes, this is your hair. You can cut it. Hair grows. It's fine," she reassured him.
This change marked a significant moment for King as she reflected on how quickly her son is growing up.
"Oh my God, you’re not a little baby anymore," she remarked.
King and her family recently enjoyed a snowboarding trip at Mammoth, where they relished the energetic spirit of young Kian. As Aja balances her flourishing career and family life, these moments of recognition and bonding with Kian bring joy and fulfillment to her days.
