Priscilla Presley Says Robert Kardashian Proposed in 1975, She Declined

The disclosure appears in her new memoir recounting life after Elvis.

Overview

  • Presley recounts dating Robert Kardashian Sr. in 1975, two years after her divorce from Elvis and three years before his marriage to Kris Jenner.
  • She writes she declined marriage because she was not ready to wed again.
  • The memoir describes a late-night call from Elvis during which, she says, he struggled to accept her seeing someone else.
  • Presley says she feared a violent reaction if Elvis learned Kardashian was with her, noting he often carried loaded guns.
  • The book, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, also revisits her age gap with Elvis and offers her view of Lisa Marie’s marriage to Michael Jackson.
