Lisa Marie Presley reveals in her posthumously published memoir that Michael Jackson “told me he was still a virgin” when they dated
The couple married in May 1994 when Jackson was 35 and Presley was 25.
They were married for over two years before divorcing in August 1996.
Presley’s book, From Here to the Great Unknown, hit shelves earlier today on October 8.
When the pair became romantic, Presley was married to her first husband, musician Danny Keough.
In the new book, Presley recalls Jackson declaring his love for her during a trip to Las Vegas.
“Michael said, ‘I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children,’” Presley writes.
“I didn’t say anything immediately, but then I said, ‘I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk.’ By then, I felt I was in love with him too.”
Presley and Keough soon split amicably, and she started her relationship with Jackson.
“He told me he was still a virgin,” Presley writes in the book. “I think he had kissed Tatum O’Neal, and he’d had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn’t been physical apart from a kiss.
“He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened. I was terrified because I didn’t want to make the wrong move.”
The couple never had children together.
Jackson died of cardiac arrest in 2009, at the age of 50. Presley, the only child of rock’n’roll icon Elvis Presley, died of small bowel obstruction caused by complications from bariatric surgery at the age of 54.
Presley’s daughter from her first marriage, Riley Keough, completed her mother’s unfinished memoir by listening to tapes of memories Presley had recorded.
