Priscilla Presley’s ‘wake-up call’ about pregnancy with Lisa Marie – Celebrity News – Entertainment

The memoir also details Priscilla’s encounters with a significantly older man. The now 80-year-old went on: “I could now travel with Elvis, attend public events, and claim him as my own in the eyes of the world. I was so excited.”

But the actress confessed: “But when I got pregnant on my wedding night, those dreams fell apart.” Priscilla revealed that neither she nor Elvis felt prepared for parenthood, with the music icon fearing how becoming a father might impact his career.

At that time, Elvis’ devoted fanbase was still coming to terms with their idol being a married man. Yet the worry extended beyond his professional concerns, as Priscilla disclosed he had “never been around children” and felt ill-equipped to be a parent.

Priscilla, however, understood what lay ahead since she was the eldest of six siblings. After discovering her pregnancy, Priscilla revealed that she and Elvis spent weeks “worrying in silence” about the future.

She confessed: “At my lowest point, I even wondered how I’d feel if I had an accident and miscarried. I felt so guilty that I was even having these thoughts.”

Elvis was 24 and serving in the US Army in Germany when he met Priscilla, who was only 14 at the time. In her memoir, Priscilla also recounted how the Burning Love singer asked her if she wanted to terminate the pregnancy. “He told me he’d support whatever I wanted. His words were a wake-up call,” she penned. “The enormity of it hit me head-on, and I began to cry. I told him: ‘No! We can’t do that. This is our baby!”

She also shared insights into her life with her late daughter, who passed away in 2023, and Lisa’s brief marriage to Michael Jackson. Priscilla confessed she wasn’t thrilled about her daughter marrying the pop star in the 90s.

In fact, Priscilla admitted she was “appalled” by the union and even questioned Michael’s motives for marrying Lisa Marie, suspecting he was after the family name and seeking “good publicity.”

The entrepreneur further characterized Michael as “manipulative” and claimed his “childlike innocence” was merely a front.
