Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten, but was not the immediate succesor of Akhenaten. After Akhenaten died a pharaoh named Smenkhkare, who is believed to have been a younger brother of Akhenaten, may have been a co-regent of Akhenaten and ruled for a few years after his death. There is a second pharaoh who ruled between Akhenaten and Tutankhamun; Neferneferuaten, a female pharaoh whose identity is unknown. There are several theories to who she may have been; she may have been the wife and co-regent of Smenkhkare, or the daughter of Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti, or even Nefertiti herself. So the line of succession went from Akhenaten, Smenkhkare (?), Neferneferuaten (?) then Tutankhamun.
The pharaoh before King Tut was his father King Akhenaten. He was heretic King and he established a new religious order worshipping the sun god Aten.
During his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV. His successor was Smenkhkare or Neferneferuaten. He ruled during 17 years.
Meritaten, daughter of Akhenaten, was Smenkhkare's wife. She was also his niece because Smenkhkare was Ankenaten's brother. There are some who think Smenkhkare was Queen Nefertiti. If so, since she was a Pharaoh, she still needs a wife and so conveniently had a purely ceremonial wedding with her daughter Meritaten. Others now more and more are thinking Smenkhare was Akhenaten's youngest daughter (who's name was the same as Smenkhkare's royal name Neferneferuaten). That way if she had a son then Akhenaten would have a male heir (grandson). Akhenaten and Nefertiti had 7 daughters, no sons, and so this would be plan B for Akhenaten to finally at long last have a male heir! We know there were other female Pharoahs (Pharoah Hatsheput for instance, she has the greatest temple in Egypt!) And even female Pharoah's must by law have a female wife so she would have to have a ceremonial wedding to a female. So if Pharoah Smenkhkare was a man, or was Nefertiti (female) or was Neferneferuaten (also female), he/she would still require to marry a female Queen. And we know for sure Pharaoh Smenkhkare had a wife and that she was Meritaten (daughter of Akhenaten).

There is no known tomb belonging to Ankhkheperure Smenkhkare Djeserkheperu but there remains speculation that his is the mummy located in 1907 in tomb KV55 which is also often claimed as 'Akhenaten.' Several objects in Tutankhamun's tomb (KV62) possibly belong to Smenkhkare, including one of the three nesting coffins whose face does not look like Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamuns father is called Smenkhkare
