Priscilla Presley opens up about an unexpected twist in her past, revealing that Elvis Presley, her iconic ex-husband, once tried to intrude upon her new relationship with Robert Kardashian. This revelation comes from her latest memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, where the 80-year-old actress recounts the complexity of her love life following her separation from the King of Rock and Roll.
Priscilla began dating Kardashian, a well-known attorney who later gained fame during the O.J. Simpson trial, in 1975 — just two years after finalizing her divorce from Elvis, who passed away in 1977.

Priscilla and Elvis
Despite their divorce in 1973, Elvis continued to reach out to Priscilla unexpectedly.
Priscilla detailed the ways in which Elvis would call her late at night, including a particularly startling incident when he phoned her at 2 a.m. while Robert was sleeping by her side.

‘He’d have gone ballistic’
Priscilla’s relationship with Robert began in 1975, just after her marriage ended.
If Elvis had discovered her new partner, Priscilla described the potential explosive reaction: “He’d have gone ballistic, maybe literally,” she disclosed, emphasizing that Elvis was known to carry firearms. Fortunately, Elvis never became aware of her romance with Robert, and the latter remained oblivious to those late-night calls from her ex-husband.
Although her relationship with Kardashian lasted about a year, they eventually drifted apart as they realized they were pursuing different paths in life. Priscilla described Robert as a “sweet man,” but acknowledged their conflicting lifestyles—his demanding legal career often left little room for her own needs. Additionally, while Robert expressed a desire for marriage, Priscilla was hesitant to commit so soon after her divorce.

Robert Kardashian
Elvis was reportedly unaware of Priscilla’s involvement with Kardashian.
Following their split in 1976, Priscilla and Robert maintained an amicable friendship. Robert later married Kris Jenner in 1978, becoming the father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Robert Jr.
After his passing in 2003, Priscilla shared a poignant memory: “Robert and I had one last conversation before he died. He was the kindest of men, and I remember him with great affection.” Interestingly, Kim Kardashian reached out to Priscilla during this time to offer her support.
