But, despite being devoted to the new arrival, Elvis and Priscilla’s relationship took a turn after Lisa-Marie’s birth. Elvis confessed to Priscilla that he couldn’t be intimate with women who had given birth.<\/p>\n
In her memoir, Elvis and Me, Priscilla wrote: “[Elvis] had mentioned to me before we were married that he had never been able to make love to a woman who had a child.”<\/p>\n
As expected, after Lisa Marie’s arrival, Elvis struggled to see Priscilla as anything other than a mother. This affected Priscilla’s self-perception. “I [was] beginning to doubt my own sexuality as a woman,” she wrote. “My physical and emotional needs were unfulfilled.”<\/p>\n
The King’s long-time mate, Sonny West, supported these claims, stating: “It didn’t come easy for Elvis to be a committed husband. Elvis viewed her as a mother first and a wife second, and he had hang-ups about making love with her.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sonny also highlighted how Elvis’ relationship with his late mum, Gladys Presley, likely influenced his relationships with women in his adult life.<\/p>\n
“[Gladys] gave him so much love and attention when he was growing up that he came to put all mothers on a special pedestal,” West said. “The idea of sex with a mother was, to Elvis, out of the question.”<\/p>\n
This was a big shift for the couple. Priscilla described their sex life after tying the knot as “passionate” and “full of adventure”. “Ordinary thrills sometimes were not enough [for Elvis],” she once said. “Especially when he was under the influence of powerful drugs.”<\/p>\n
However, after Lisa Marie was born, Elvis spent time with other women. And Priscilla reacted as one might expect. She had a brief fling with her dance instructor, as well as a serious affair with her karate teacher Mike Stone.<\/p>\n
After six years, Priscilla and Elvis broke up. They finalised their divorce in 1973 – but they remained very friendly.<\/p>\n
When they left the courthouse after breaking up, Elvis sang the lyrics to Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
