I want to say this on my blog:
"We'll I guess, in a way, Lea and him do deserve each other."
Is that right "Lea and him" or "Lea and he"?

Correct English would be "Lea and he", but with the level of formality of the sentence as a whole, "him" would be acceptable.
You want "well", not "we'll".

He, not him.
He is nominative case, him is objective case. Since "he and Lea" are the subject of the dependant clause, he deserves the nominative case.
Try dropping the rest of the sentence and say "him deserve" or "he deserves". "he deserves" sounds correct to a native English speaker, because the case agrees.
Also, you don't need the apostrophe in "well". We'll is a contraction for "we will". "We will I guess..." doesn't make sense, but "well I guess..." does.

"Well I guess, in a way, he and Lea do deserve each other."
it sounds better if you switch the pronouns around.

i think that you have to say the person you are least conected with first. so him and lea would be more corect.
