Dexter Scott King (far left), the youngest son of civil rights icons Coretta Scott King and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has finally found his queen.
King, chairman of the King Center, jumped the broom in a private ceremony held last Friday (June 12, 2013) in California, but reportedly of his family members attended the intimate ceremony.

Details below…
According to the AJC, Dexter married ‘longtime’ fiancée Leah Weber (a native of New Orleans).
Kings new bride is a former broadcast journalist and business owner, who on her personal Web page now goes by Leah Weber King.
“Leah is a welcome addition to the family,” said cousin Isaac Newton Farris Jr.
The two are “great friends,” said Farris. “We’re looking forward to a very happy union. She fits in well with the family. Everybody in the family loves her.”

Christine King Farris, matriarch of the King family, did not attend the wedding, which was described as very small. She said Dexter King called her Saturday to share the good news.
“He said, ‘Aunt Chris, I’ve finally taken the step. Leah and I are married,’ ” Christine Farris recalled.
“I am real pleased that they have gotten together and I wish them all the best. His parents would be very pleased for him.”
Another King relative, the Rev. Alveda King said, ‘We love and appreciate her and pray God’s blessing on the happy couple.”
Dexter King’s siblings, Martin Luther King III and Bernice King, could not be reached for comment.

Isaac Farris told the AJC that King and Weber met several years ago in New Orleans when Weber hosted a book-signing for “Growing Up King: An Intimate Memoir.”

Neither the bride nor groom could be reached for additional comment, aside from a statement that came out of the King Center, which contained the following information:
The couple plan to live in Malibu, Calif., where King has lived for a number of years.
The famously private Dexter King, once an Atlanta staple, has lived in California for about a decade now. He rarely makes public appearances in his hometown.
He is the second of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King’s four children to wed.
According to the King Center, Weber’s father, Larry Weber, lives in Atlanta. Her mother, Joy Arceneaux, lives in New Orleans. Neither could be reached for comment. (source)
Congratulations to the happy couple!
He looks just like his father. Congrats.
Doesn’t this strike you as strange. No pictures of her anywhere. That twitter pic is fake. It’s like poof she just magically appeared. If you research you find it does not seem as if her parents had a daughter named Leah. HOWEVER, they had a SON, Larry that goes by LEAH.
Lol! DAYUM! So what you sayin? That’s some scorching hot tea there!
Well…according to public records…you appear to be right…ijs
DAISY : please provide proof.
and if dexter is homosexual, his father preached love for all so it shouldnt matter.
Well…according to public records…you appear to be correct…ijs
Say what now?????????? Dexter,gay? SAY WHAT NOW!!
and didn’t they say bernice was gay too?
@Ashley in shock!LMAO! Its okay Ash.I know how you feel though.Im surprised too!!!!!
Congrats! I have always thought he was fine,but for some reason ,I felt funny saying that about Dr.Kings son!lol
I agree. It seems somewhat sacrilegious. *giggling behind my hand*
Thanks @WiserWords, "giggling behind my hand "is the PERFECT way to describe how I felt! lol
So he married a transvedite? Wow! Sorry if I misspelled that! But that’s deep! Wow again!
Dexter… howudoin (wendy voice) WHY they trying to fool the public with this STUNT
I thought he was gay.
Yeah me too. I’ve been in Atlanta for 20 years and that was always the rumor.
He is not gay…Just because it was a rumor does not make it true. People make that assertion when they cannot get something else on you, like a criminal record.
Lmfao,Anyways Congrats to them,wither it he/he or he/she….
Michelle….You know this Leah Weber person is a male?? Michelle you aint slick man…Wait MLK son is married to a man or a woman who used to be a man??? That picture looks like a dude in drag.
If it’s true, I bet she’s not black.
He/She is Black. Look up her/him on YouTube. Some one is onto something. Leah’s YouTube Commerical on online dating company has her looking pretty nice but she does sound manly. She looks black but French Creole.
Confirmed: "She" started Elitenoir.com A website devoted to LGBT community because she and a friend had trouble finding dates.
Look up youtube Leah Weber Elite Noir where she talks about this.
I CANNOT believe No ONE has found this?? Am I the only Internet sleuth?
Do Bloggers do any original work anymore?
Apparently not!

I also saw the YouTube Commercial. A woman with the same name passed in 2006. This name seemed to be adopted around 2006, when she went back to college and started her new TV production career, which is impressive. Disney, interned as producer with one life to live, got a lot of work in a very short time. She just popped up with no past in 2006, although she is 48 years old. I think this is way the father is a bit distant about this marriage. They know the deal but, perhaps, choose to not disrepect Dexter’s choice.

Why there’s no picture on her page. It’s all quotes.
She is on YouTube – just search the name.
Who has dated Dexter? please come forward.
In all my years, I have never known Dexter to be a woman until now and she doesn’t exactly appear to be all woman if you ask me.
**to be WITH a woman**
Are you angry because you were with him?
Wait….I thought that was the woman who was with him on the front row at his mama funeral.
She was sitting with him at his mother’s funeral.
I am heart broken…As long as Dexter was still single, I thought I had a chance to marry him.. (sobbing):|
