According to the Genealogist's Magazine (England) June 1991
the father's name was Theodosios Monomachos.
Konstantin IX ruled from 1042 till 1055 and died 11 January 1055
Hope this helps (a little).

The father of Konstantinos Monomarchos, Theodosius, is named by Psellos
(p.161) but no mention is made of K's mother. Werner Seibt, following
Psellos (162-163, 180ff), credits Konstantinos with three wives and one
mistress. The name of the first is unknown. The second whose first name is
unknown was the only daughter of Basileios Skleros and Pulcheria sister of
the emperor Romanos III Argyros. Zoe was the third wife. His mistress was
the sebaste Maria Skeraina a first cousin of Konstantinos' second wife.
Seibt (p.71 note 250) holds that the wife of Vsevelod was Maria daughter of
K's second marriage. Vannier (p.35 note 5) following Poppe (p.627 note 181)
calls Vsevelod's wife Anastasia and has her as the daughter of K by his
mistress Maria Skleraina. Seibt (pp.75-76) seems successfully to rule out
Maria Skleraina being the mother of Vsevelod's wife.
