Priscilla Presley: Love, Loss, and Life After Elvis

Priscilla Presley revealed shocking details about her tumultuous marriage to Elvis Presley in her memoir, "Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis." She confessed to having an affair with her karate instructor, Mike Stone, which led to the end of her marriage to Elvis in 1972. Elvis was reportedly furious and even considered hiring a hitman to kill Mike, feeling humiliated and betrayed by Priscilla's actions. However, the hitman plan was eventually dropped, and Priscilla went on to date Mike for three more years before their split in 1975.

Following her relationships with Mike Stone, Priscilla dated Robert Kardashian, the father of Kim Kardashian, and Marco Garibaldi, the father of her son Navarone. Tragically, Priscilla shared a daughter, Lisa Marie, with Elvis, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 54 due to a small bowel obstruction. In 2020, Priscilla also experienced the loss of her grandson, Ben Keough, to suicide at the young age of 27.

In her memoir, Priscilla recounted the heartbreaking experience of making the decision to remove Lisa Marie from life support after she was declared brain dead. The emotional toll of losing her daughter was immense, and Priscilla described the pain and devastation she felt during that difficult time. The memoir provides a glimpse into Priscilla's personal struggles and the challenges she faced in the aftermath of her relationships with Elvis and her family tragedies.
