Michael Jackson was allegedly a virgin while he was with his ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley.
In her posthumous memoir, Presley revealed that Jackson informed her about him being a virgin. “Michael said, ‘I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children.” The memoir continued, “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.”
Presley also added, “He told me he was still a virgin. 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. I was terrified because I didn’t want to make the wrong move.”
In 1994, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley got married after she divorced her first husband, Danny Keough. Jackson was 35 and she 25. The couple would later divorce in 1996. Since then, both Jackson and Presely have passed away. In 2009, Michael Jackson died from cardiac arrest and Lisa Marie Presley died in 2023 from a small bowel obstruction.
Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough, finished her late mother’s memoir by listening to the tapes that her mother recorded before her untimely passing. “Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over, and dissected,” she said in an interview.
“What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was,” Keough added. “To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatized, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life. I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive.”
