Priscilla Presley reveals Elvis called her whilst she was in bed with Kim Kardashian’s dad
The messy crossover I never expected
Priscilla Presley has revealed that Elvis once called her whilst she was in bed with Robert Kardashian amid their divorce.
The shocking revelation came about from her new book, Softly As I Leave You: Life After Elvis. She and Elvis divorced in 1973 and she started dating Robert Kardashian in 1975.
Priscilla Presley revealed that Elvis hadn’t known about Robert, recalling him calling at 2am, completely unaware she was in bed with Robert Kardashian.
She revealed: “It hadn’t crossed [Elvis’] mind that I might have been asleep. It had certainly never occurred to him that I might be with another man. Despite our divorce, he still couldn’t wrap his head around my being with someone else.
“He’d have gone ballistic, maybe literally, if he’d known Robert was in my bedroom. Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.”
Priscilla revealed that she never told Robert that Elvis had called, and that Elvis never knew about her relationship with him.
She continued: “Fortunately, Robert was a sound sleeper, so I leaped out of bed and grabbed the phone before it woke him. I tiptoed down the hall to the guest bedroom and shut the door to listen to the familiar voice.”
Priscilla and Robert dated for around one year but they had their fair share of issues, with Priscilla explaining she didn’t like his “demanding” job that make him work “long hours.”
She described him as a “sweet man” but that ultimately they split as he “wanted to get married, but I knew it wouldn’t work. I wasn’t ready to marry again.”
Even after their split the pair remained close friends and before Robert passed away in 2003, Kim Kardashian organised for the two to have one final conversation in the hospital.
