Talk about being all shook up.
Priscilla Presley claims her ex, Elvis Presley, tried to interfere in her relationship with Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003 after a battle with cancer, and would “have gone ballistic” if he knew who was in her bed.
In her second book, “Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis,” the actress, 80, opened up about her romantic life after divorcing the King of Rock and Roll in 1973.
Priscilla started dating Kardashian in 1975 following her split with the three-time Grammy winner.
Despite their divorce, she shared that Elvis still called her in the middle of the night, once dialing her digits at 2 a.m., completely unaware that Kardashian was sleeping next to her.
“He’d have gone ballistic, maybe literally, if he’d known Robert was in my bedroom,” Priscilla wrote, per The Sun. “Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.”
“The Naked Gun” star shared that Elvis never discovered her relationship with Kardashian, and the lawyer didn’t know the “Suspicious Minds” singer called while he was sound asleep.
Priscilla and Kardashian only dated for about a year, and she explained why it wouldn’t have worked out between them.
“Robert was a sweet man, and I liked him,” she stated; however, his “demanding” job as a lawyer, which included “long hours,” didn’t work for her.
She also shared that he was hungry for marriage, and she wasn’t in the same place following her failed union with Elvis.
After their 1976 breakup, Priscilla and Kardashian stayed friendly. He went on to famously marry Kris Jenner, now 69, in 1978.
His daughter, Kim Kardashian, even reportedly called Priscilla shortly after his 2003 death.
“Robert and I had one last conversation before he died,” Elvis’ ex-wife noted. “He was the kindest of men, and I remember him with great affection.”
During their marriage, Priscilla and Elvis had one child: Lisa Marie Presley.
She passed away unexpectedly in January 2023 at age 54. Her cause of death was the result of a small bowel obstruction after bariatric surgery.
Priscilla recently reiterated that their daughter “didn’t want to be here anymore” after her son, Benjamin Keough, took his own life in 2020.
Lisa Marie welcomed her only son with her ex-husband, Danny Keough, in 1992, three years after their daughter, actress Riley Keough, now 36, was born.
Lisa Marie also shared two twin daughters, Harper and Finley, now 16, with another ex-husband, Michael Lockwood.
As for Kardashian, the late attorney shared four kids with Kris: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Jr.
They split in 1990.
