Elle King marries Dan Tooker in outdoor Tennessee wedding

Elle King is married. The 37-year-old country singer wed tattoo artist Dan Tooker on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, in a rustic, woodsy outdoor ceremony in Tennessee. King shared the news herself on social media, according to Billboard.

Her announcement was short and direct. She posted photos from the wedding day. The caption read: "Husband and wife. Best day of my life." People also reported the ceremony on Oct. 4 and noted the photos were shared on social media.

Tooker is described as King's longtime partner. The description fits a relationship that began seven years ago. The two met in 2019. They became engaged the next year, in October 2020. Six years passed between that proposal and the Tennessee vows.

Their two sons are central to that timeline. The elder is Lucky Levi, now 5. He was born in September 2021, less than a year after the engagement. The younger is Royal, now 19 months. He was born in February 2025.

The ages tell their own story. Lucky was three when his brother arrived. He was five when his parents married. Royal was still a baby, under two, when the wedding took place in Tennessee.

There was a break in the middle. King and Tooker briefly split in 2023. They got back together in 2024. That reunion came before Royal's birth in early 2025. It also came before the October 2026 wedding.

For fans, this means a long engagement has a new ending. The proposal dates to 2020. The first child dates to 2021. The reunion dates to 2024. The second child dates to 2025. The wedding now dates to Oct. 4, 2026.

The reports focused on the ceremony itself. What was confirmed was simple. King and Tooker married outdoors in Tennessee, with their two young sons already in the picture.
