London King started her career as a model at a young age. But the dream was cut short due to her first pregnancy at 15.
Many years later, she would go on to land supporting roles in movies like A Better Way to Die (2000), The Calling (2002) and Raw Fish (2001).
London King’s first marriage to Rob Schneider
London King gave birth to her firstborn in 1986, a son named Noah King. She was only 15 at the time. Two years after Noah was born, London King met and married actor and comedian, Rob Schneider who was also a former Saturday Night Live cast member, in 1988.
They got married just three days after meeting. The marriage lasted two years, from 1988 to 1990. While married to Rob Schneider, London King gave birth to her second child, Tanner Elle Schneider, now professionally known as Elle King, on July 3, 1989.
London King’s second marriage to Justin Tesa
Ten years after her marriage to Rob Schneider ended, London King met and married Justin Tesa. As Elle King’s stepfather, Justin Tesa maintained a good relationship with the girl. It was even said that it was Justin Tesa that inspired Elle King’s singing after he gifted her the Donnas’ CD when she was nine years old.
It wasn’t only Elle King’s life that was changed by Justin Tesa’s presence – her mother, London, was also said to be enjoying a more fulfilling marriage with Justin.
According to reports, London King rekindled her interest in acting shortly after marrying Justin Tesa and would go on to appear in three movies between 2000 to 2002.
