Priscilla Presley's Memoir: Love, Loss, and Connections

Priscilla Presley's Memoir: Love, Loss, and Connections

Priscilla Presley recently shared details about her past relationship with Robert Kardashian in her memoir, "Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis." Despite divorcing Elvis in 1973, he continued to call her unexpectedly, even while she was dating Kardashian in the mid-1970s. Elvis was unaware of Robert's presence during these late-night calls, and Priscilla feared his reaction if he had found out about their relationship.

The actress began dating Kardashian in 1975, two years after her divorce from Elvis was finalized. She described Elvis as potentially dangerous, noting that he always carried a loaded gun. Despite the challenges they faced, Priscilla and Robert's relationship only lasted about a year due to their differing priorities and lifestyles.

Elvis never discovered Priscilla's romance with Kardashian, and the lawyer remained unaware of the late-night calls from her famous ex. Following their breakup in 1976, Priscilla and Robert remained on good terms. Robert later married Kris Jenner and had four children, including Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Robert Jr.

After Robert's passing in 2003, Priscilla fondly remembered their last conversation and described him as a kind man. Kim Kardashian reportedly reached out to Priscilla during that time, showing their continued connection. Priscilla's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, tragically passed away in January 2023 at the age of 54 due to complications from bariatric surgery following a small bowel obstruction.

Priscilla has faced deep struggles, including the loss of her grandson, Benjamin Keough, to suicide in 2020. Lisa Marie, who also had daughters Riley Keough, Harper, and Finley, had a challenging journey before her untimely death. Despite these hardships, Priscilla continues to cherish the memories of her loved ones and the connections she has maintained over the years.
