Former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett has maintained her place in the spotlight since parting ways with the group in the early 2000s. From music to acting gigs, the songstress continues to impress. In June 2022, Leave It to LeToya premiered on Kin, giving LeToya the platform to candidly address topics like her dating life and her relationship with her two kids, 5-year-old Gianna Iman and 3-year-old Tysun.
Her latest film, I Thought My Wife Was Dead, premiered on Lifetime on Aug. 3, 2024, further renewing interest in what she’s doing—and, more importantly, who she’s with. LeToya tied the knot with Taleo Coles in July 2023, though it wasn’t her first time down the aisle. Here’s everything we know about LeToya’s current marriage and previous relationships.
LeToya Luckett is now married to Virginia entrepreneur Taleo Coles.
LeToya and Taleo tied the knot on July 27, 2024, at the Le Tesserae venue in Houston, Texas, according to PEOPLE. Hundreds of friends and family gathered to celebrate their union, including Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, and Toya Johnson. “I wanted to incorporate some Black girl bridal magic, so I went with two Black female designers for both my wedding dress and reception dresses,” she explained.
She added, “I still can’t believe how peaceful the day was. Everything just flowed for the most part. This wedding was magical. You could feel genuine love in that room.” LeToya started dating Taleo sometime in 2022, but they had a long-standing connection through a mutual friend, Alexis ‘Lex’ White, for 20 years, as ESSENCE revealed.
LeToya Luckett was married to Tommicus Walker for four years.
After skyrocketing to fame as a founding member of Destiny's Child in the 1990s, LeToya built an incredibly successful career as a musician, solo artist, and actress. Her debut album, "LeToya," climbed to the top of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart upon release. It received a platinum certification in August 2006. As an actress, LeToya has appeared in hit TV series like Greenleaf, Rosewood, Single Ladies, and others. However, Leave It to LeToya took a more intimate look at her life.
An episode of 'Leave It to LeToya' captured a conversation between LeToya and her ex-fiancé, Slim Thug. Were they married?
LeToya has previously been linked to Brian Casey, Robert Lavelle Huggar (R.L.), T.I., and others. She reportedly had a two-month marriage to Rob Hillman — though details about the relationship are scarce — and she was married to Tommicus Walker between December 2017 and July 2021. LeToya and Tommicus share two kids, Gianna and Tysun.
As LeToya revealed in an episode of Leave It to LeToya, she had an on-and-off relationship with Slim Thug for ten years. LeToya and Slim Thug shared a few details about the relationship in the episode, detailing what they continue to admire about each other. Slim Thug's love of the holiday season has continued to resonate with LeToya long after the relationship ended. Slim's appreciation for his family has struck a chord, as well.
LeToya and Slim also talked about the downfalls of the relationship. Although they met when they were in their twenties, they made plans to start a family — which turned out to be too ambitious. LeToya also had other concerns, and sometimes she felt frustrated about the lack of progress Slim made in certain areas. As Slim pointed out, they were briefly engaged.
LeToya has two kids, Gianna and Tysun, with Tommicus Walker.
LeToya and Tommicus started dating in the 2010s, tying the knot at the Villa Antonia in Jonestown, Texas in December 2017. They welcomed their first child, a daughter named Gianna, on Jan. 4, 2019. Their son, Tysun, was born on Sept. 15, 2020. LeToya and Tommicus announced their separation in January 2021, and their divorce was finalized that summer. The two sparked reconciliation rumors a few times, which were likely unfounded.
"I am not married, no. I am divorced," LeToya said on an Instagram Live in July 2021, per Showbiz Cheat Sheet. "And I'm okay. We're okay. Everybody is okay." In an Instagram post cited by ESSENCE.com, LeToya briefly talked about the complications she and Tommicus have had to face while co-parenting the kids, such as putting their marriage-related problems to rest.
Despite the ups and downs in her love life, it seems LeToya has finally found peace.
