William Pitt Leleiōhoku was born on March 31, 1821 in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i Island to one of Kalanimoku's wives, Kiliwehi, a daughter of Kamehameha Paiea. He was married in November 25, 1835, to the Princess Nāhi‘ena‘ena when he was only 14; the princess was 6 years his senior. Nāhi‘ena‘ena died in 1836 at the age of 21. Leleiōhoku married for a second time to Princess Ruth Ke‘elikōlani. He served in the House of Nobles from 1841-1846 and also served on the Privy Council from 1845 to 1846.

He was eventually laid to rest at Mauna ‘Ala Royal Mausoleum.
