New details about Lisa Marie Presley’s time with the man in the mirror are being revealed.
Nearly two years after her death, Lisa’s memoir From Here to the Great Unknown was released with help from her daughter Riley Keough. And in it, the daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley gets candid about her relationship with Michael Jackson, to whom she was married for two years after tying the knot in 1994, when he was 35 and she was 25.
“He told me he was still a virgin," Lisa wrote in the book, which hit shelves Oct. 8, per People. "I think he had kissed Tatum O'Neal, and he'd had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn't been physical apart from a kiss. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened.”
She continued, “I was terrified because I didn't want to make the wrong move."
The singer also spoke to the beginning of their relationship. At the time, Lisa was still married to her first husband Danny Keough—with whom she also shared late son Benjamin Keough—though she and Danny soon split after Michael confessed his love during trip to Las Vegas.
“Michael said, ‘I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children,’” she wrote. “I didn’t say anything immediately, but then I said, ‘I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk.’”
As she noted, “By then, I felt I was in love with him too.”
While their time together was not long-lived, following Lisa’s death in 2023, some of Michael’s loved ones expressed their sadness over her passing.
As his sister La Toya Jackson wrote of Lisa, “You will forever be in our hearts, I will never forget how much you shared the love you had for my brother with me! I thank you for being so honest, courageous and explicit with your love."
The King of Pop’s estate also shared some words about Lisa.
"We are saddened by the sudden tragic loss of Michael's former wife, Lisa Marie Presley," read John Branca and John McClain's statement on behalf of his estate. "Michael cherished the special bond they enjoyed as apparent in the official video for 'You Are Not Alone', and was comforted by Lisa Marie's generous love, concern and care during their times together."
The details about her time with Michael are only one part of Lisa’s life in which the curtain is pulled back in From Here to the Great Unknown. In the fact memoir, as Riley previously expressed, was intended to show the woman behind the public persona.
"Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected,” the Daisy Jones & the Six star, 35, told People in an interview published Oct. 8. “What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.”
She continued, “To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatized, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life. I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive.”
