The duo has a 37-year age gap that triggered a lot of speculations when the news of their impending wedding hit the airwaves. In fact, Venus, who is the first child of Richard Williams, was just one year short of Lakeisha’s age (Lakeisha was barely 31 at that time). The generational gap between their dad and his intended bride didn’t go down well with the Williams sisters, and it goes without saying that they disapproved of the relationship.
However, Dylan Starr Williams’s parents still went ahead to tie the knot against all odds, but married life wasn’t a bed of roses for them. They were barely a few years into the marriage when trouble started. Richard was the one who started dishing out the accusations. He first revealed that his social security card had been used with a forged signature, pointing accusing fingers at his young wife. The retired tennis coach also accused Lakeisha of leaving him for another man much younger than him.
Lakeisha also had loads of accusations against her elderly husband. Dylan’s mother said Richard subjected her to domestic violence, and she was afraid that he might harm her and their son with the huge arsenal of firearms he keeps in the house. She even claimed to have three fractured ribs as evidence of Richard’s brutality.
After seven years of marriage, the couple started divorce proceedings in 2017. This dragged on till 2019 after Lakeisha went behind to halt the process through the Florida Palm Beach judge. According to Dylan’s mother, she and her octogenarian husband, who had already survived a stroke twice, are still enjoying what she described as a sizzling sex life and, thus, were not ready to go their separate ways.
To date, no one knows whether the couple later finalized their divorce as nothing else has been mentioned about them.
