Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumously published memoir has revealed shocking details about her relationship with the late pop icon Michael Jackson. In the memoir titled “From Here to the Great Unknown”, Presley claims that Jackson confessed to her that he was “still a virgin” when they were dating.
The duo tied the knot in May 1994 when Jackson was 35 years old and Presley was 25. However, their marriage only lasted for over two years before they divorced in August 1996. The memoir, which was released on October 8, sheds light on their whirlwind romance.
Presley was married to musician Danny Keough when she embarked on a romantic relationship with Jackson. In the book, she reminisces about how Jackson professed his love for her during a trip to Las Vegas, expressing his desire to marry her and have children together. Despite initial hesitations, Presley reciprocated his feelings.
During their time together, Jackson confided in Presley about his innocence in the physical aspect of relationships, revealing that he had only shared a kiss with Tatum O’Neal and Brooke Shields. He also mentioned that Madonna had attempted to pursue him romantically but to no avail. Presley admitted feeling anxious about potentially misstepping in their relationship.
Although the couple never had children together, their bond remained strong until Jackson’s passing in 2009 at the age of 50. Presley, the daughter of rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis Presley, tragically passed away at the age of 54 due to complications from bariatric surgery.
Riley Keough, Presley’s daughter from her previous marriage, took on the task of completing her mother’s unfinished memoir by revisiting recordings of Presley’s memories. The revelations in the book have reignited interest in Jackson’s controversial past, including allegations of sexual assault that have surfaced over the years.
Despite facing accusations and legal battles during his lifetime, Jackson’s legacy in the music industry remains unparalleled. The publication of Presley’s memoir has provided fans with a deeper insight into the personal life of the enigmatic pop star.
As discussions surrounding their relationship and Jackson’s legacy continue, the impact of Presley’s memoir on shaping public perceptions of the late singer remains to be seen.
