The couple’s journey began in 2019 when they first met at Tooker’s tattoo shop. After getting engaged in October 2020, they welcomed their first son together, Lucky Levi, in 2021. However, their relationship faced challenges, and they took a break in 2023. Fortunately, by September 2024, the couple had reconciled, reaffirming their commitment to one another.
In her Instagram post, King shared glimpses of their wedding ceremony, which showcased a stunning outdoor setting adorned with rustic decorations. In the shared images, the Grammy-nominated artist donned an elegant fitted ivory satin gown featuring a plunging neckline, a dramatic flared skirt, and a trailing train. To complete her look, she wore a delicate sheer veil.
In contrast, Tooker opted for a sophisticated appearance in a dark charcoal double-breasted suit paired with a black shirt and accented by a white boutonniere. Videos shared by Tooker on his Instagram Stories captured the festivities, including heartwarming moments and delightful treats, such as a moss green wedding cake embellished with floral accents and topped with miniature fondant figurines resembling the couple.
The festivities also included a touching performance by the newlyweds, who sang together on stage. Their two children, Lucky Levi, aged five, and Royal, who is just 19 months old, were featured in several poignant family moments during the celebrations.
Despite their challenges over the years, the couple has grown stronger. King spoke about their reconciliation in September 2024, describing the necessity of personal growth before reuniting. “We had to grow,” she explained. The singer expressed the realisation that they had everything they had ever wanted in each other and decided to put aside their grievances to focus on their family.
In her heartfelt words, King highlighted the importance of their relationship, stating, “This is it. This is life. It doesn’t get better than this. This is worth trying.” The couple’s reconnection has evidently brought a renewed sense of hope and joy, encouraging them to rebuild and nurture their family.
The love and admiration King has for Tooker were apparent in a Father’s Day tribute she shared on Instagram in June. Referring to Tooker as the “love of my life,” King praised him for being an exemplary role model for their children, full of creativity and strength. “Happy Father’s Day to @tattooker ❤️ the love of my life,” she wrote, celebrating his qualities that make him an ideal father.
King’s previous marriage to Andrew Ferguson, which lasted from 2016 to 2017, adds a layer of depth to her relationship with Tooker. Her journey of personal growth and love has evidently contributed to the strength of their current union.
As they embark on this new chapter as husband and wife, King and Tooker continue to navigate the joys and challenges of family life together. With their two sons by their side, they appear committed to building a future filled with love and happiness.
