The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll married Priscilla Presley and they were Hollywood’s ‘it’ couple for some time – though the 10-year age gap caused controversy

Presley had a busy love life post-Priscilla – Natalie Wood, Anita Wood and Linda Thompson all dated the musician – but he was with Ginger Alden when he died

King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and keeper of many hearts, Elvis Presley was famously charming around women, and continued to win many of them over not just in his heyday, but for years afterwards. It also didn’t hurt that he had the good looks, the fame and a voice and onstage persona that had become a cult obsession, of course.

And despite the often huge age gaps and rumours of infidelity, many of his exes still only have good things to say about the music legend. Here, we take a look at the women that Presley met and fell in love with …

Priscilla Presley

Elvis Presley met his first and only wife in 1959 while he was serving in the military in Germany. He was 24 years old and she was 14. Although they were seen as Hollywood’s “it” couple at the time, after Elvis’ death, widespread criticism of their relationship began to emerge.

Priscilla was nicknamed the “child bride” because she dated Elvis when she was in her early teens. In her memoir, Elvis and Me, she said they did not have sex until they were married when she was 21. The couple got married in 1967 and in 1968 welcomed their only child, Lisa Marie.

In her memoir, Priscilla said that after the birth of Lisa Marie, their sex life became non-existent as Elvis had said he could not sleep with someone who had a child. They separated in 1972 and were divorced a year later.

Ann-Margret Olsson

Elvis and his leading lady in Viva Las Vegas had visible chemistry and in her book, Priscilla said Ann-Margret was the person she feared most in the lead up to her wedding. According to Priscilla, despite Elvis insisting there was nothing between them, she knew otherwise.
