Priscilla Presley 'never stops thinking about Elvis' 46 years after his death

Priscilla Presley has revealed that she never stops thinking about her former husband Elvis.

The former couple were in a relationship for 13 years before they finalised their divorce in 1973. Priscilla, now 78, and late singer ended up being married for six years, though they got divorced just four years before he died, aged 42, back in 1977.

Their relationship has attracted much attention over the years and was the subject of her memoir Elvis and Me, which was first published back in 1985. The newly-released film Priscilla (2023) is said to have been based on the book.

Priscilla spoke about her late ex-husband in an interview with the Sunday Times which has been published this weekend. She said that there isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't think of Elvis.

She told the outlet: "To be honest, there isn’t a day goes by when I don’t think of him. Just last week I saw a shirt and I could almost hear myself saying, 'Elvis would love that. Should I get it for him?'"

Priscilla added that she spends time at his former abode, Graceland because she can "feel his spirit there," but mainly resides in Beverley Hills. She also admitted that she still "dreams" of Elvis, more than four decades after his death.

"Do I dream of Elvis? Sure," she revealed. "When someone has been such a big part of your life, that's bound to happen."

Although she has never remarried, Priscilla's had other relationships since her divorce from Elvis. She however told the outlet: "Living with him was a rollercoaster but I don't think I'll ever find anyone I love as much as I loved him."

Priscilla was married to Elvis - who starred in films like Love Me Tender (1956) and Jailhouse Rock (1957) - from 1967 until their subsequent divorce was finalized in 1973. The former couple's late daughter Lisa Marie Presley was born in 1968 and she passed away earlier this year, aged 54.

One of Priscilla's most notable relationship since the divorce was with film producer Marco Garibaldi, now 68. They were said to have been together for more than two decades, before reporedly going their separate ways in 2006.

Priscilla shares her youngest child, Navarone Garibaldi, 36, with her ex-partner Marco. Navarone, like his mother's late ex-husband Elvis, has pursued a career in music, with him credited as the lead singer of the rock band Them Guns.
