Lisa Marie Presley has made some shocking revelations in her new posthumous memoir, including details about her relationship with Michael Jackson.

What She Said

In her book, From Here to the Great Unknown, Presley discusses her high-profile relationships and intense fame as the daughter of Elvis Presley.  She shares intimate details about her relationship with Jackson, including his claim of being a virgin at 35.  "He told me he was still a virgin," Presley wrote in the tell-all. "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. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened." She added, "I was terrified because I didn't want to make the wrong move." 

Did They Marry Too Quickly

According to VT, Lisa wrote about the proposal, "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,'" Presley wrote in her book. “I didn’t say anything immediately, but then I said: ‘I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk.’ By then, I felt I was in love with him too."

The couple got married just weeks after Presley divorced Danny Keough, but their relationship ended in divorce in 1996. Presley's daughter, Riley Keough, helped finish the book after her mother's death, aiming to connect with readers through stories of love, heartbreak, and family.
