Secrets and Shadows: Priscilla Presley's Hidden Relationship with Robert Kardashian
Priscilla Presley had a discreet relationship with Robert Kardashian after her divorce from Elvis Presley to avoid his potential reaction. In her upcoming memoir, "Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis," she recounts a moment when she received a late-night call from Elvis while in bed with Kardashian. Priscilla kept their relationship hidden from Elvis due to his possessiveness and volatile nature, as he always carried a loaded gun. She allowed Robert to listen in on her conversations with Elvis to maintain secrecy.
Priscilla began dating Robert Kardashian in 1975, two years after her divorce from Elvis. Despite enjoying his company, their relationship faced challenges due to his demanding job as a high-profile attorney, leading to difficulties in sustaining a serious commitment. Kardashian later married Kris Jenner and had four children before their divorce in 1991. He passed away from cancer in 2003 at the age of 59.
Elvis Presley passed away in 1977 at the age of 42, while their daughter Lisa Marie died in January 2023 at the age of 54. Priscilla remained close to Robert and his daughter, Kim Kardashian, until his death. She fondly remembers Robert as a kind-hearted man and cherishes their last conversation before his passing.
Priscilla's memoir, "Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis," is scheduled for release on September 23, offering readers never-before-heard stories about her life and relationships. Through her candid revelations, Priscilla provides insight into her post-divorce experiences and the significant individuals who shaped her journey.
