Mike Tyson and Lakiha ‘Kiki’ Tyson surprised hundreds of guests who were invited to Las Vegas last weekend to celebrate what was supposed to be a joint birthday party. Instead the couple did something unexpected when they appeared in wedding attire and renewed their vows.
The couple were secretly married in a small chapel in Las Vegas in June 2009, two weeks after Mike’s 4-year-old daughter Exodus tragically died in an accident involving a treadmill.
They decided to renew their vows and wanted to include their friends and family in the celebration they didn’t have the first time around.
Last weekend’s event took place at the M Resort. After greeting their guests, the host and hostess disappeared for a short time before emerging from behind a large curtain, dressed in their wedding finery.
The guests dined on chicken and steak in the hotel ballroom, with a live band ensuring that a great time was had by all. Everyone went home with a goodie bag of confections from the Sugar Factory.
In January Tyson became a father for the 8th time, when Kiki delivered their son Morocco. They also have a daughter Milan.
