Elvis And Priscilla Presley’s Relationship
The Presleys were married for six years before their separation. Priscilla was 14 years old when she first met Elvis. The couple started spending more and more time together, with her parents’ reluctant approval. In a tell-all interview with PEOPLE in 1985, she said, “Each night that I was with him, he entrusted a little more of himself — his doubts, his secrets, and his frustrations.”
She further said, “It was a lot to expect someone my age to understand, but I tried. I listened to his desires to become a great actor like his idols Marlon Brando, James Dean, Karl Malden and Rod Steiger.”
Priscilla relocated to America in 1963 to be with him. Speaking of him, she said, “I liked him very much. I certainly felt safe. We cannot compare it to today. We still had morals and a high standard. There was a lot of care.” On May 1, 1967, Elvis and Priscilla finally exchanged vows in Las Vegas. She later told People, “It was a good life. It was different, but it was ours.”
The two were eventually torn apart by Priscilla’s relationship with karate instructor Mike Stone and repeated suspicions of infidelity on Elvis’s part. Despite their split, Priscilla said they were always on good terms and often referred to him as ‘the love of her life. She said, “Elvis and I still hugged each other; we still had love.”.

After Elvis, Priscilla didn’t get married again. But she did have her share of flings.

She claimed that he gave her a “new confidence” that she had never experienced.
In 1975, Priscilla dated Terry O’Neill, a British celebrity photographer, before he married Faye Dunaway. The relationship between Priscilla and Robert Kardashian was perhaps her most surprising. Priscilla reportedly also dated actor and model Michael Edwards for nearly six years. However, in a bizarre turn of events, Priscilla’s daughter, Lisa Marie, claimed that Edwards had behaved inappropriately with her years later.
She also had a long-term relationship with Brazilian computer programmer and playwright Marco Garibaldi from 1984 until 2006. They had a son much later, after living together, who was born in 1987 and is now the frontman of the band Them Guns.
For some time now, there have been rumors that she is seeing Welsh singer Tom Jones, who has known her and Elvis for a very long time. However, in 2021 he denied the reports by saying, “We’re not dating, but we do go out to dinner. There is nothing romantic.”
