Personal Life
Kenneth Todd met Lisa Vanderpump in London in 1982. They became engaged six weeks after meeting and married within three months. In an interview, Lisa said: "It was the strangest thing. He was wrong for me in every sense — 16 years older, playboy, in the nightclubs. But he asked me for my number and that was that." Against common tradition, he took her last name. The happy couple has two children, Pandora Vanderpump, 24 (biological), and Max, 18, whom Lisa adopted.
Before meeting Lisa Vanderpump, Todd was previously married to Pamela Todd for two years. Ken and Pamela had a son named Warren, who was born in 1966. Todd got sole custody of Warren following their divorce, and he raised him on his own from the age of two. Warren, a British entrepreneur, later married Lisa's friend Sue Vanner, an actress known for her role in the James Bond classic "The Spy Who Loved Me." Sue and Warren have a 21-year-old son, Ryan.
Ken Todd was never a soccer player, despite the fact that a Google search for Ken Todd brings up a profile with a photo of him attached to a bio about someone else.
Together with his wife, Todd supports Keep Memory Alive, an organization established to bring awareness to neurological disorders, including Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease.
