Priscilla’s Hidden Romance Revealed

In an explosive revelation from her new memoir, "Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis", Priscilla Presley dishes on a secret relationship with none other than Robert Kardashian. She kept it under wraps, fearing the wrath of her ex-husband, Elvis Presley.

A Midnight Call and a Shocking Discovery

In the memoir, Priscilla shares a jaw-dropping moment when she leaped out of bed with Kardashian, who was blissfully asleep, to answer a 2 AM call from the King himself. Priscilla confessed, "Elvis would have gone ballistic, maybe literally, if he’d known Robert was in my bedroom. Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one." This added tension creates a surreal snapshot of their lives.

Elvis Had No Clue

During their phone call, Elvis was in high spirits, oblivious to the reality of Priscilla’s current situation. "It never occurred to him that I might be with another man," Priscilla reflected, capturing the innocence yet intense pressure of her double life.

Navigating Love and Friendship

Priscilla's relationship with Kardashian was brief. Although he wished to marry her, she realized she wasn’t ready for that commitment. She describes Robert as a "sweet man" but noted his demanding job left little room for adventure, leading her to feel restless.

A Last Conversation

Despite their romantic past, Priscilla and Robert remained friends. In a poignant moment in 2003, as he faced the end of his battle with esophageal cancer, Kim Kardashian connected them for one last conversation. Priscilla remembered Robert fondly: "He was the kindest of men, and I remember him with great affection."

Reflection on the Past

Now 80, Priscilla continues to navigate the legacy of her relationships, highlighting how intertwined lives can lead to unexpected revelations and lingering stories from a bygone era. Elvis and Kardashian—two iconic figures in her life—each representing different chapters in her journey.
