“KING” Richard Williams’ son has spoken of his dad’s surprise romantic reunion with his estranged wife – who saved their marital home from auction to pay off her colossal debts.

Serena Williams’ stepmom Lakeisha admitted in court documents to forging her husband’s signature to transfer the house into her name.

Lakeisha claimed she did so to feed their son, Dylan, after Richard left her with no way to put food on the table.

His counsel denied the claim at the time, and Richard went through years of battling through the courts to try and divorce his third wife amid claims she’d also stolen his security checks and vehicles.

Richard, 82, filed back in 2017 in Florida, seven years after tying the knot with Lakeisha, 45.

Back in September 2022, his son Chavoita posted on Instagram, “It’s shameful what he is going through caused by Lekeisha. Hopefully, she will get what is due to her – prison time for elderly abuse and forgery.”

He also told The U.S. Sun he wanted his dad to get a divorce as quickly as possible as she was taking advantage of him.

But after Richard had the divorce suddenly dismissed earlier this year, the family has welcomed her back into the fold.

Chavoita previously said his dad only called it off because of health problems, but it has since emerged he is back in a “romantic and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual relationship” with his estranged wife, according to her lawyer.

She was set to lose their former marital home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida this week after she failed to pay off a loan and found herself owing more than $436,000.

But the auction was canceled at the last minute after she mysteriously managed to pay off the huge sum.

Speaking exclusively to The U.S. Sun, Chavoita said, “The house is safe and sound. Keisha worked a miracle. She satisfied the debt, whatever it was that was reported. I have no clue how, I’m told it wasn’t from my dad.”

“He wanted to keep it in the family so he’s happy regardless,” Chavoita went on.

“I’m not sure what’s going on with those two. My dad’s like the wind at times. I’ve been buried in my own world.

“But everybody was pretty happy so that’s just how I see it right now.

“It’s not the same energy when he spoke to you, not at all.

“If he changes his mind and does want a divorce he can just call me and tell me. The lawyer’s on standby.

“I don’t know if this is the ending or the beginning for those two. But my dad is happy and that’s all that matters.”

My dad’s like the wind at times.”

‘King’ Richard’s Son

A source claimed the funds did not come from Serena.

Lakeisha previously alleged in court documents that the retired tennis champ threatened to change the locks if she did not vacate the home.

At the time, Serena’s rep declined to comment on the claim.

Ironically, her elderly father and Lakeisha, a former ᵴtriƥper, are now living in a new home just minutes from their old crumbling property, which is in Serena’s name.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Lakeisha’s bankruptcy lawyer Elias Dsouza for comment on how she settled the debt but did not hear back.

That debt, at one stage, was over $600,000 after she failed to stick to a repayment plan.

She had repeatedly attempted to file for bankruptcy to try and save the house but her efforts failed before she managed to stump up the cash.

The property means a lot to the family as it’s where Serena and Venus were trained on the tennis courts by their father before becoming sporting superstars.

Divorce attorney Sara Lawrence previously slammed Chavoita insisting he is not a blood relative and has been “interfering” in Richard and Lakeisha’s lives.

Chavoita declined to comment on how he is related to Serena and Venus’s father but has always been by his side, while Richard himself previously told The U.S. Sun he was desperate for a divorce.

He accused Lakeisha of “taking everything,” adding, “I just want a divorce. It’s been six years, man. Just a bunch of junk, junk, junk.”

But it now seems he’s had a change of heart.

Lawrence said in a statement after it was dismissed, “Richard Dove Williams and his wife Lakeisha Williams have a son and are raising him together. They are a family. Lakeisha works and Richard often takes care of their son.

“Lakeshia and Richard Williams have a romantic and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual relationship. With their son they are a family. They live together. They go on family trips to Disney together.”
