Lisa Marie Presley Reveals Michael Jackson Was Virgin at 35

In a recent revelation from Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, the late singer's ex-wife has made a surprising claim about the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Released on October 8th, the memoir, which was completed by her daughter, Riley Keough, after Presley's passing in January 2023, sheds light on their relationship and Jackson's personal life.

One of the most striking assertions made by Presley is that Michael Jackson was a virgin at the age of 35 when they began their romantic relationship. In her memoir, she writes, "He told me he was still a virgin." This statement raises eyebrows, especially considering Jackson's immense fame and the public's perception of his relationships. Presley elaborates, stating, "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." Furthermore, she mentions that Madonna had also attempted to connect with Jackson, but nothing came of it.

Presley expressed her concerns regarding this revelation, admitting that it made her anxious about their relationship. She did not want to make any missteps, especially since she was still married to her first husband, Danny Keough, at the time their romance began. Their relationship took a significant turn during a trip to Las Vegas, where Jackson confessed his feelings to Presley. She recalls, "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." This heartfelt declaration marked the beginning of their whirlwind romance.

Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson tied the knot in 1994, but their marriage was short-lived, ending in divorce just two years later in 1996. The revelations in her memoir not only provide insight into their relationship but also highlight the complexities of love and fame. It serves as a reminder that even the most iconic figures can have personal struggles and vulnerabilities.

Lisa Marie Presley's memoir offers a unique glimpse into the life of Michael Jackson, challenging the public's perception of the pop star. It emphasizes that behind the glitz and glamour, there are real emotions and experiences that shape individuals. As readers, we are reminded that love can be complicated, and sometimes, the most unexpected truths can emerge from the past.
