Priscilla Presley, famously known for her marriage to the legendary Elvis Presley, had a surprising connection to the Kardashian family. In a recent Q&A session promoting a new movie about her romance with the King of Rock & Roll, Priscilla revealed that she had once dated Robert Kardashian and the possibility of marriage was on the table.
Key Takeaway
Priscilla Presley and Robert Kardashian had a brief relationship that could have led to marriage if not for Priscilla’s unwavering loyalty to Elvis Presley. Their connection was interrupted by the controlling nature of Elvis and the interference it caused in their romance. Ultimately, Priscilla’s failed attempt at cooking a meal for Robert marked the end of their relationship. Robert went on to marry Kris Jenner and become a part of the Kardashian family, while Priscilla never forgot her time with Robert, reaching out to him one last time during his battle with cancer.
A Love Story Interrupted
Priscilla’s unwavering loyalty to Elvis and his controlling nature ultimately prevented her relationship with Robert Kardashian from progressing further. According to an unauthorized biography called “The Kardashians: An American Drama,” Priscilla’s devotion to Elvis often led to uncomfortable moments for Robert.
The book recounts an incident when Elvis called Priscilla while she and Robert were in an intimate moment. Elvis demanded to speak with her, so Priscilla placed the phone receiver on the pillow between them, forcing Robert to listen to their conversation. It was clear that Elvis did not want Priscilla to see other men, especially for the sake of their daughter, Lisa Marie.
Additionally, Robert had to contend with competition from his own brother, Tom, who was also interested in Priscilla. When she ultimately chose Robert, it caused tension and envy between the two brothers.
The Final Straw
Despite their initial connection, the relationship between Priscilla and Robert eventually came to an end. The final blow was when Priscilla attempted to cook a meal for Robert which he despised. It was so disastrous that he suggested she never make dinner for him again. This incident signaled the disintegration of their desire to forge a future together.
A Different Path
After his failed romance with Priscilla, Robert Kardashian went on to marry Kris Jenner. Together, they had four children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob. Their marriage lasted from 1978 to 1991. Despite the end of their relationship, Priscilla never forgot about Robert. She reached out to him one last time during his battle with cancer in 2003 to express her love for him.
