Priscilla Presley in Real Life

Priscilla Beaulieu met Presley in Germany in 1959. At the time, Presley was in the army and stationed at a base in the country, which just so happened to be where Beaulieu's father was also stationed, as reported by Biography. The two instantly fell for one another at the disapproval of Beaulieu's parents because of their 10-year age gap: Presley was 24, Beaulieu was 14. The two kept in touch and they reconnected in 1962. That year, Beaulieu moved to Graceland, TN, to be with the rock-and-roll star, and five years later in 1967, she became Mrs. Presley. With Elvis, Presley had a daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, in 1968. The couple remained married until their split in 1972, which was allegedly due to the singer's frequent infidelity, per Closer Weekly.

Presley went on to have a successful career after her marriage to Elvis and is known for her acting in "Dallas" and "The Naked Gun." Regarding her relationship with her late husband, she told People in 2021, "I loved taking care of Elvis very much. I loved tending to him. I loved feeding him. We would baby talk, because you have to have your own language when you have that many people around. It was a good life. It was different, but it was ours."
