London welcomed her son Noah and Elle during her first marriage to Rob Schneider. After a live performance in Cleveland, Ohio, Elle shared a picture with her brother and thanked him for going to see her show. Elle said it "meant the world" to her, and in the Instagram post, the siblings wore smiles and stood side by side.

From Noah, London has three grandchildren. Her eldest grandson is Logan and London celebrated his 8th birthday on March 20, 2021, with a birthday tribute on Instagram. She wrote:

"I call him my Golden Boy, and he calls me my Golden Girl."

London wore a bright red jacket as she leaned into her smiling grandson. Her second grandson from Noah is in Cyprus. London celebrated his third birthday in February, and the first picture of multiple that she shared was of a sleeping Cyprus with his arms above his head.

London wrote that he was "so sweet" and smiled with his eye in "the brightest way." London's third grandson from Noah is Harlan, born at the beginning of 2021. London shared that he was nine pounds and five ounces when he was born and twenty-one and a half inches long.

While announcing the birth of Noah and his partner's third child, London wrote that she was "proud of their sweet family." London's fourth grandchild came from Elle, who gave birth to a boy, Lucky Levi Tooker, on September 1, 221.

Elle and her partner announced the news on Instagram a few days after Lucky was born and captioned the post that they were "healthy" and feeling "so blessed." Elle said London was the "best doula ever," and in the appreciation post dedicated to her mother, Elle wrote:

"She was my doula through the whole process, and most importantly, she was the best mom I could ask for."

In the Instagram appreciation post, London was photographed cooking Elle's placenta in the kitchen. Elle suffered from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and had a difficult journey to motherhood. But she chose to share about her high-risk pregnancy in hopes of helping others.

Relationship with Rob Schneider

London and Rob parted ways a little while after Elle was born. Elle described her father as a "workaholic" and said he was not around much during her childhood. Rob was a famous face and a part of the "Saturday Night Live" cast throughout the 1990s.

He was a writer for the show from 1988 and became a regular cast member until 1994. He also landed roles in movies such as "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" in 1992, and he starred alongside Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in "Grown Ups."

Rob went on to have more children after his relationship with London, and it was essential for Elle to have a close bond with her step-sisters. As she grew older, Elle said she realized what was important in life and said:

"Family really is so important. So through that, me just kind of showing up and trying to be good for them really made it easy because there were no bad motives … I love him."

Current Spouse

After her divorce from Rob, London married Justin Tesa in 2000. According to his Instagram, Justin owns a record label in New York City and runs it from his print shop. His record company is Good Times Rock n Roll Club, and his print company is Crown Prints NYC.

On September 26, 2021, London and Justin celebrated over two decades of being together, and as they stood in front of a cornfield, London joked that it was "corny" how in love they were.

Justin was Elle's father figure growing up, and he was the inspiration behind her music career. Elle was born Tanner Elle Schneider but chose to drop her biological father's last name to climb the ranks based on merit and not because she had a famous father.

So she took London's last name and said she became an artist thanks to Justin. Elle said she already had "something" that was "inside" of her but that Justin was the one who "nurtured it" and "pushed" her.

In November 2021, London and Justin dressed up to show their support for Elle King at the Grammys after she had received her fourth nomination. London said in the caption that the close-knit family had "the rowdiest" night celebrating.
