Elvis Presley died at the age of 42. It seems incredible that his life ended so young given the length of time he spent in the spotlight and all of his accomplishments. However, it could be argued that since he is still regarded as a legend and modern superstars are often compared to him, Elvis will exist forever.

Even though Presley passed away decades ago, new information about him usually appears every other day. Other subjects that the world is still learning about include his marriage to his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, and their relationship. Because of her continued interest in her marriage, it has strangely become unclear that his ex-wife has some unpleasant facts about her late husband to reveal.

Given that she was married to a legend, Priscilla Presley has received a lot of questions over the years about the Can’t Help Falling in Love singer. She has made it abundantly clear when discussing the singer that she was always devoted to upholding his legacy and was not eager to lend a hand to anyone wishing to harm her ex-husband. 

The Sunday News interviewed her in 2018, and during that time, she was honest about her marriage and shared some troubling details about her ex-husband.

Priscilla Presley Once Disclosed the Reason for Her Divorce

Elvis Presley’s widow, Priscilla Presley has remained committed to his legacy for decades, despite the fact that he wasn’t allegedly committed to her when he was alive. In fact, she even admitted that the You’re the Devil in Disguise singer’s habitual infidelity was the reason their marriage ended. 

She said that at the time, despite being close as a couple and having welcomed one daughter, Priscilla Presley began to feel the effects of her husband’s infidelity. Additionally, it was said that after they had a baby, her ex-husband no longer desired to have s*x with her.

She admitted as much in an interview in 2018,

“He wasn’t faithful,” she said. “I tried to turn my back to that, but I just didn’t want to share him. As much as he wanted to be married and have a family, I don’t know if he was ever cut to be married. Because I don’t think he could ever be faithful to one woman.”

His dominance over Priscilla Presley’s life became tiresome to her. She was never allowed to leave his close-knit group of friends or go without makeup. Additionally, she eventually ran out of patience with his alleged ongoing cheating.

Dominant Elvis Presley ‘Tried To Control’ His Ex-wife

Priscilla Presley was only 14 when she first met Elvis Presley, who was 24 at the time. While that is unsettling on many levels, it is particularly repulsive when you learn the rumors about why the music legend was drawn to such a young girl. According to reports, Presley’s ex-wife first caught his attention when she was 14 years old. Allegedly, he was drawn to her because he reportedly believed he could “train” her to become the woman he wanted both inside and outside of his bedroom.

It doesn’t matter if Elvis Presley was drawn to Priscilla Presley or not; the fact is he tried to exert control over her, and that won’t change.

In actuality, according to Priscilla Presley, the singer desired complete control over her appearance, right down to her choice of clothing and even the expressions she made on her face. Elvis Presley was concerned that his wife’s brow furrowing would cause early wrinkling and therefore wanted to control her face. 

In 1986, Priscilla Presley’s autobiography, Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N’ Roll, was released.
