On Friday, Alexander struck a somber tone, writing: “Family and friends, thank you for all the love, prayers and encouragement.
“Please know that I see every message, text, post and phone call. I can’t use words right now.
‘Please know that I will be in touch when I can. Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you to eternity and beyond.
His words somewhat echo those of his son when he last posted about his mother on October 13, when he wished her a happy birthday on Instagram.
He wrote: “Mom, thank you for life and thank you for love. I love you to the moon and back.’
Boss’s wife of nine years, Allison Holker, contacted Los Angeles police on Tuesday to report him missing, saying he had left without a word a day earlier and was not returning her calls, she report TMZ, citing law enforcement sources.
Holker insisted there had been no fight or dispute that precipitated their departure, just three days after their wedding anniversary, and said their lack of contact was extremely unpleasant.
