Ken Todd’s relationship with wife and business partner Lisa Vanderpump has been well-documented on Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Over their 40-year marriage, the couple has owned more than 30 restaurants and bars together. However, before meeting Lisa, Ken lived a completely different life, which is evident in the photos shared from his past before his first appearances on Bravo.
Before meeting Lisa, Ken was married to Pamela Todd for just two years when he was 19, and they welcomed a son, Warren, together in 1966.
“We met when Warren was 15 and I was 21,” Lisa explained in a 2013 blog post on BravoTV.com. “As [Ken] explained, he was married briefly for two years at 19, to a young wife who wasn’t prepared for the challenging job of being a mother. So he then fought for custody of their only child.”
She added at the time: “Warren is very much his father’s son — ambitious, incredibly family oriented, and someone to be proud of.”
Check out the throwback photos below of Ken's son, Warren:
Warren went on to marry actress Sue Vanner, in 1987, and they share one child together.
The pair split in 2019, and Vanner filed for divorce in 2023, according to the Daily Mail.
Warren and his then-wife Vanner once appeared on RHOBH, as you can see in the image below. Warren has an obvious striking resemblance to his father.

When speaking to The Daily Dish, Lisa opened up about Ken's life as a grandpa to Warren's kid. “He’s [Ken] been a grandfather for a long time because his older son [Warren] has [a kid],” Lisa shared in the interview, adding, “His grandson’s the same age as [our son] Max.”

Lisa also recalled in that same throwback interview why she decided to keep her maiden name upon marrying Ken.
"Ken had already been married before [...] but I felt that 'Vanderpump' was a much nicer name than 'Todd,' sorry, no disrespect to my husband," she shared, adding that because Ken's ex-wife kept the name "Todd," she didn't want to follow suit.
“I never actually changed my name. I didn’t change my passport. I didn’t change anything. So I was always Lisa Vanderpump,” she explained in the throwback Bavo interview, noting that their two children, Pandora and Max, have both their names, as "Vanderpump-Todd."

Pandora, the couple's only biological child, was born on May 7, 1986, in London. Over the years, Pandora has worked alongside her parents at their various businesses, including Vanderpump Wines, Vanderpump Dogs, Vanderpump Pets, and more. She is also credited as a producer on Vanderpump Villa and recently helped open Lisa's first Lake Tahoe restaurant, Wolf by Vanderpump, at the Harveys Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino.
Max, born on December 7, 1991, was adopted by Lisa and Ken in 1992 when he was an infant in foster care. In a Season 7 episode of RHOBH, Lisa explained her decision to adopt Max, saying, “I knew very well that I could have more children biologically, but the adoption was my choice… I just wanted him. I just said I’d have him before I even got there.”
Max later worked as the manager of Tom Tom, a restaurant Lisa co-owns with Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, and in a February 2024 interview with The Daily Dish, Schwartz revealed that Max had taken on a new role as the general manager, stating, "Max is our [general manager]… It feels like family in there.”
