The marriage between Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley lasted from 1994 to 1996.
Lisa Marie didn't begin an "adult friendship" with Michael Jackson until 1992, though she first met him in 1975, when she was only 7 years old. In 1994, Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley just 20 days after she finalized her divorce from her first husband, Danny Keogh. There were many issues in the marriage, which only lasted two years, most notably the allegations that Michael Jackson had allegedly abused children.
In 2003, Lisa Marie revealed to Rolling Stone that not long after meeting Michael as an adult, "he immediately went into this whole explanation of what he knew people thought of him and what the truth was." She claimed that she fully accepted his justification. "You get sucked into the, ‘You poor, misunderstood person, you.’ I'm a sucker for that." "I believed him, because he was so convincing... I just believed everything he said, for some reason."
Jordan Chandler sued Michael Jackson for alleged sexual abuse a year before Lisa Marie and Michael Jackson wed. "I got into this whole "I’m going to save you" thing," Rolling Stone was told by Lisa Marie. "I thought all that stuff he was doing with philanthropy and the children thing and all this stuff was awesome, and maybe we could save the world together." "OK. Hello. I was delusionary. I got some romantic idea in my head that I could save him and we could save the world."
She said, when considering how the marriage has affected her life and reputation, "All I did to get out of it was a shitstorm, and I got out of it." "Now people go, ‘You seem somewhat sane, you seem pretty together -- what the hell was that all about?’" she continued. "It puts a stigma on me.” The couple split up in August 1996, but they reportedly dated intermittently for four years afterward. They remained friends up until Michael Jackson's passing in 2009.
How was Lisa Presley’s relationship with Nicolas Cage?
When Lisa Marie first met actor Nicholas Cage in 2002, she had just broken off her engagement to singer John Oszajca. The two struck up a romantic relationship. After a notoriously brief marriage that lasted just 107 days, Cage filed for divorce from his wife.
Lisa reflected on her relationship with the Hollywood star in an interview with Larry King in 2003, saying: "It looked attractive like I could be equal, similar situations, similar backgrounds."
"So we connected; we had a great connection." “We were both a bit - we're sort of these gypsy spirited, you know, tyrannical pirates." "And one pirate marries another; they will sink the ship, basically, is what it comes down to." "It was kind of one of those things where you marry someone hoping... to either stabilize or it's going to, you know, accentuate all that was going on prior to what was problematic. "So it kind of did the latter, that's all."
Who was Lisa Presley’s last husband?
Lisa Marie wed her fourth husband, guitarist and music producer Michael Lockwood, in January 2006. The marriage took place in Japan, and Danny Keough served as best man. Presley made her pregnancy announcement in March 2008.
At Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, California, on October 7, 2008, Presley underwent a cesarean section and gave birth to twin girls named Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood.
After ten years of marriage, Presley filed for divorce from Lockwood in 2016. The couple's kids were temporarily placed in Priscilla Presley's care in February 2017 after Presley claimed that Lockwood had inappropriate images of kids on his computer in a divorce court filing opposing Lockwood's request for spousal support.
After looking at more than 80 electronic devices as part of its investigation into the complaints, the Beverly Hills Police Department concluded there had been no criminal activity and forwarded the case to Tennessee investigators.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations ended its investigation into the claims made by Presley in 2017 because there was no proof that a crime had been committed. After two years, the dispute was finally resolved in Lisa Marie's favor in 2018. In 2021, the divorce became legally final.
What happened to Lisa Presley’s son?
Benjamin Keough, Lisa Marie's child from her first marriage to Danny Keough, is reported to have passed away on July 12, 2020, in California, at the age of 27 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Although Benjamin kept a low profile throughout his life, he was a musician and had a number of acting credits.
He was well known for resembling his late grandfather, Elvis Presley, very much. Prior to this, Lisa Marie had stated, "Ben does look so much like Elvis." “He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage.” "Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there.” “Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny."
Benjamin, whose middle name was Storm, is thought to have served as the inspiration for Lisa Marie's 2012 song "Storm & Grace."
