Priscilla Presley has revealed that Robert Kardashian, late father of Kim Kardashian, wanted to get married but their relationship was effected by ‘ballistic’ Elvis Presley
Priscilla Presley, actress and former wife of Elvis Presley, has revealed that Robert Kardashian wanted to marry her and she turned him down. Her memoir detailed how their relationship was effected by a “ballistic” Elvis.
In 1975, two years after Priscilla and Elvis divorced and three before Robert would marry Kris Jenner, the actress and the lawyer were a couple.
In her new memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, she shared how Robert wanted to marry her. “Robert was a sweet man, and I liked him,” she wrote. “Robert wanted to get married, but I knew it wouldn’t work. I wasn’t ready to marry again.”

Priscilla has only ever been married to Elvis. They wed in 1967, just before she turned 22 and when he was 32. The couple were already living together, as in 1962, she moved from Germany, where she met Elvis, to Graceland to finish her schooling near him.
The two were married for six years and had one daughter, Lisa Marie. They divorced in 1973, but according to Priscilla’s book, Elvis still had a great impact on her life and relationships.
She recalled a night when her ex-husband phoned her whilst she was in bed with her new boyfriend. “It hadn’t crossed his mind that I might have been asleep,” Priscilla started.
“It had certainly never occurred to him that I might be with another man. Despite our divorce, he still couldn’t wrap his head around my being with someone else.”
Priscilla added that she was scared of what would happen if Elvis ever did realise she had moved on. “He’d have gone ballistic, maybe literally, if he had known Robert was in my bedroom. Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.”
The 80-year-old shared many more bombshells in her memoir. She went into detail about the first time she had sex with Elvis and their age gap.
She stated: “We waited to have sex until he married me at twenty-one. The fact remains, however, that there were ten years between us.”
She also wrote about her daughter’s relationship with Michael Jackson and claimed he wasn’t marrying her for love, but to join the “Presley dynasty”. Priscilla called him “manipulative” and said he “had his sights set on [Lisa Marie] long before she realised it”.
