King and Tooker first crossed paths in 2019 when she visited his tattoo shop for new ink. Their connection quickly grew, leading to an engagement in October 2020 and the arrival of their son, Lucky, on September 1, 2021. However, in April 2023, King announced their split.

“We had to grow,” King told People in 2024. “I don’t know. I’ll try anything twice.”

The singer/songwriter and Tooker have spent the past few months traveling, sharing their adventures on social media. 

In late October, King shared a sweet message of gratitude on social media, writing, “I never thought I could be this happy. My family is growing. My love is strong. I am healthy.”

Now, as a mother of two, her heart is undoubtedly fuller than ever.
