Lisa Marie Presley has lifted the lid on her relationship with Michael Jackson in her posthumous autobiography titled “From Here to the Great Unknown.” They were married from 1994 to 1996. Through rare confidences, Elvis’ daughter recounts little-known aspects of their relationship.
The story between the two icons began in 1992, when Michael Jackson, then aged 33, made a confession to her: he revealed to her that he was “still a virgin”. Lisa Marie Presley says, “I think he kissed Tatum O’Neal, and he had a relationship with Brooke Shields, which wasn’t physical other than a kiss. He said Madonna tried to go out with him once, but nothing happened.” These revelations put particular pressure on Lisa Marie Presley, who admits to having been terrified of making the wrong choice.
Far from the controlled public image of the King of Pop, Lisa Marie Presley describes a man capable of surprising. She remembers the moment when their relationship took a more intimate turn. “When he decided to kiss me for the first time, it was his decision. He was the originator of everything. Physical things started happening, which shocked me. I had thought we wouldn’t do anything until we got married, but he said, ‘I won’t wait.'”
The marriage took place in 1994, shortly after Lisa Marie Presley’s divorce from her first husband, Danny Keough. Michael Jackson, madly in love, made a passionate declaration of love for her, declaring that he wanted to marry her and have children together. “I didn’t know what to say,” confides Lisa Marie in her book. It was at this moment that she realized that she also shared deep feelings for the singer.
