How Old Is London King and Where Was She Born?
London King is 52 years old and was born on the 27th of September 1971 in Wellstone, in Jackson County, Ohio. She is a citizen of the United States of America and of Caucasian ethnicity who was born to David King and his wife, Paula King. London isn’t their only child but one of their two children; it is known that she has a brother named William Scott King.
London and William were raised in Wellstone and apart from what has been discussed thus far, it is hard to tell anything else about their upbringing. London only came into the limelight when she was an adult or thereabout, so much of her early life and the family she came from are yet to be uncovered.
Facts like the school she attended and how she kickstarted her career in showbiz are also not known to the public. Nonetheless, we can confirm that her career journey began as a model.
London King is a Former Model and Actress But She Now Works as a Doula
It has been claimed in some quarters that Elle King’s mother has a net worth of $1.5 million. If that is true, she made most of it as a model and actress. The quinquagenarian has now devoted her life to working as a doula, offering labor support and private childbirth education to her clients.
After Elle King and her fiancé named Dan Tooker welcomed their son Lucky Levi in September 2021, the musician took to Instagram to appreciate her mother, describing Elle as the “best doula ever”.
London King’s career journey began as a model, she started pursuing a career in the field during her teen years and soon started getting gigs that saw her appear in several television commercials. It was through this that she eventually got involved in acting.
As an actress, London King is known for her roles in productions like A Better Way to Die (2000), Raw Fish (2001), and The Calling. She played Cheryl in A Better Way to Die, an action-comedy crime film written and directed by Scott Wiper. To the best of our knowledge, it was her first work as an actress. London portrayed a character named Jade in Raw Fish alongside Brooke Butterfield, Marjorie Campbell, and Robert Flanagan. Ashoka Thomas wrote the comedy film which he co-directed with Greg James.
The last time she was seen as an actress was as Ruby Jenkins in The Calling, a drama film Damian Chapa directed and co-wrote with Aaron Pugliese.
London King Has Been Married Twice and is a Mother of Two
London King’s family life does not revolve around only Elle King and Rob Schneider. While Rob is her first husband and most famous romantic partner, he isn’t the first man London has been with. The same goes for Elle King; she is London’s most popular child but not her first.
In the early years of her career, when she was still a teenager, London dated a fellow who has remained unknown to the public. With him, she had her first child, a son named Noah King. It is said that Noah was born sometime in August 1986. Apart from this, it is hard to tell anything else about him as he has lived his life away from the spotlight.
When he was about two years old, sometime in 1988, his mother met and started dating Rob Schneider, a veteran of NBC’s Saturday Night Live who has pulled off numerous roles in comedy films like The Benchwarmers, Grown Ups, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, The Hot Chick, The Animal, and much more. He began his career in entertainment while he was in high school as a stand-up comedian and gained mainstream recognition in the early 90s after he was hired by NBC for SNL.
Reports have it that London got married to Rob on the 25th of September 1988, three days after they met. They gave birth to Elle the following year and realized around the same time that they rushed into the marriage. Before they marked their second wedding anniversary, the couple rushed out of the union. They reportedly signed their divorce papers on the 1st of September 1990.
Rob moved on and married Helena Schneider from 2002 to 2005 before he met and married his current wife, Patricia Azarcoya Schneider, in 2011. London King also moved on as she got married to a musician named Justin Tesa in 2000 and he remains her husband.
Tesa has not only been a good husband but a good father to London’s kids. He inspired Elle to become a musician and has had a huge influence on her career. London and her husband live in Brooklyn, New York. London King isn’t very active on social media but you can keep up with her on her Instagram, @pushlovedoula.
