Priscilla Presley shared some insights about her marriage with the late Elvis Presley. Her recent appearance at the Venice Film Festival ahead of the debut screening of Sofia Coppola’s new biopic, Priscilla. Priscilla’s marriage with the King of Rock N Roll has always been subjected to a lot of criticism. The former couple first started dating when she was14 and he was 24.
Priscilla said she divorced Elvis because of their different lifestyles
The 78-year-old shared, “It was very difficult for my parents to understand that Elvis would be so interested in me and why. Elvis would pour his heart out for me. His fears, his hopes, the loss of his mother, which he never, ever got over. And I was really sat there to listen and to comfort him. That was really our connection.”
Later on, she shared, “It was very difficult for my parents to understand that Elvis would be so interested in me and why. Elvis would pour his heart out for me. His fears, his hopes, the loss of his mother, which he never, ever got over. And I was really sat there to listen and to comfort him. That was really our connection.”
“Even though I was 14, I was older in life than in numbers,” the actress added. “That was the attraction. And people think, ‘Oh, it was sex, it was this.’ Not at all. I never had sex with him. He was very kind, very soft, very loving. But he also respected the fact I was only 14 years old. We were more in mind and thought and that was our relationship.”
Moreover, she said of her split with the late singer, “It wasn’t because I didn’t love him. He was the love of my life. it was the lifestyle that was so difficult for me. And I think any woman can relate to that.”
