BUNTE.de Priscilla Presley didn't want a second marriage after Elvis Article by BUNTE.de editorial team • 14 hours Nowadays it is not uncommon to get married several times throughout your life. Especially with celebrities, no one is surprised anymore when another wedding is announced. Best example: singer JLo (54). She married actor Ben Affleck (51) in 2022, many years after their first separation and after three marriages to other men. Priscilla Presley: "Never had sex with him": What it was really like when she met Elvis at the age of 14 For Priscilla Presley (78), who was married to music legend Elvis Presley (†42), it never seemed to have been an option to marry again after her first husband. As "people.com" reports, the singer's widow spoke at a performance in Las Vegas about why she only walked down the aisle once. Priscilla Presley: “No one could hold a candle to him” Priscilla was married to Elvis Presley from 1967 to 1973. In the 50 years since the separation, there has not been another wedding for the now 78-year-old. It seems as if she promised her ex-husband not to marry again while he was still alive: "He wouldn't have been able to handle that," she said in a question and answer session. The singer died in 1977, but there was still no wedding for Priscilla Presley: "To be honest, I never wanted to get married again after him. I never felt the need," she explained. She gives the reason for this straight away: "No one could hold a candle to him." But she never remained alone in the many years since separating from her first great love. There were relationships and rumors about the Presley widow's love life, and she was also accused of having a relationship with cult singer Tom Jones (83) - but both denied this. She repeatedly spoke in interviews about how her relationship with Elvis Presley had many ups and downs. But above all, she raved about her ex-husband and called him “the love of her life.” No wonder other men had a hard time. Serious blows of fate for Priscilla Presley The film “Priscilla” is currently showing in cinemas, which sheds light on the relationship of the famous couple. The two met in 1959 when Priscilla was just 14 years old. Eight years later, the global star and the young woman got married, who went down in history as the rock icon's wife, even though the marriage only lasted a few years. Over the course of her life, Priscilla Presley had to cope with severe blows of fate. Not only did her husband die too early, daughter Lisa Marie (†54) also died in January 2023 and her son Benjamin Keough (†27) committed suicide in 2020. Priscilla Presley herself stated in an interview that she wanted to be buried close to her husband - in the meditation garden of the Graceland estate in Memphis.
