Not really.

Lion society doesn't run on male-female pairs.

The lasting element in lion society is the pride, usually made up mostly of related females and their offspring. Every pride will have one or a couple of resident males, which will mate with any willing female in the Group.

But competition for being the resident male in a pride is fierce, and the expected Life of males in the wild is a considerably shorter than that of the females.

Male lions never die of old age, they are either killed outright when roving males try to take over their pride, or eventually die after having been chased off.

No, but new pride leaders will kill cubs of the old leader, to bring the females into heat.
