On February 1, 1968, Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of legendary musician Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla Presley, was born.

“She was brought into my room by the nurse, and I held her in my arms. She was so little and lovely “Priscilla made a statement in Elvis and Me. “Elvis entered the room and gave me a kiss, happy that our kid was healthy and absolutely normal. He kept both of us in his arms after that.”

2. Lisa Marie Presley and Dad Elvis Presley

Lisa Marie’s famous father tragically passed away in 1977 when she was just 9 years old. Priscilla, who divorced Elvis in 1973, told PEOPLE in 2005 that “the relationship between Lisa Marie and her dad was quite special.” “They had a really profound connection.”

Although mother and daughter had their share of ups and downs in their earlier years, when Lisa Marie was largely kept out of the spotlight, they frequently got together for important occasions, most recently for part of the Elvis movie marketing and this past Tuesday’s Golden Globe Awards.

4. Lisa Marie Presley’s Music Career

In an effort to emerge from her father’s shadow while simultaneously paying homage to his heritage, Lisa Marie released her debut rock album, To Whom It May Concern, in 2003.

In 2013, she said to Extra, “I think that his music is certainly imprinted in me. “All I could do was hope he’d be proud.” Two further albums were later released by her: Now What in 2005 and Storm & Grace in 2012.

5. Lisa Marie Presley at Graceland

Lisa Marie naturally spent her formative years at Elvis Presley’s illustrious Graceland home in Memphis.

“I have enough memories of Graceland to keep my head spinning for the rest of my life,” she wrote in her 2005 book Elvis. “It was amazing. Filled with energy and excitement. Of course it was all about my father. If he was in a good mood, it was going to be a great day. We’d ride horses or ride around in golf carts.”

Elvis’ daughter, grandfather Minnie Mae, father Vernon, and beneficiaries were listed when he passed away. Lisa Marie was the only heir to her father’s fortune following their deaths in 1979 and 1980, respectively, according to Graceland’s official website.

According to the Graceland website, Lisa Marie founded The Elvis Presley Trust in 1993, on her 25th birthday, to “maintain the effective management of the estate.”

6. Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough

Lisa Marie wed musician Danny Keough on October 3, 1988, in a low-key ceremony at the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Center International in West Hollywood.

“Lisa Marie has my complete support.

I couldn’t be happier for the two of them, and Danny is a terrific man “Priscilla, the mother, made a statement.

Riley, their first child together, was born the following year. Son Benjamin joined the family three years later.

7. Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson

In 1994, Lisa Marie surprised the world by getting married to Michael Jackson in the Dominican Republic just weeks after divorcing Keough.

“I am very much in love with Michael, I dedicate my life to being his wife,” the bride said in a statement at the time. “I understand and support him. We both look forward to raising a family.”

According to a friend of Michael Jackson’s who spoke to PEOPLE, Lisa Marie and Michael had a similar degree of comfort: “Michael always said he never knew if a girl was going to like him for himself or his money. She doesn’t want him for the money.

Following countless articles regarding the union, Lisa Marie requested a divorce from Jackson in 1996.

8. Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage

On the 25th anniversary of her father’s passing, Lisa Marie and Nicolas Cage married in Hawaii in a small ceremony in 2002. They started dating in 2001. The wedding, according to Priscilla, was magnificent.

“They are madly in love,” said a friend, who also noted that the relationship was “complicated. Both have very big lives already. The challenge is to see if they can get them to mix.”

A mere 108 days later, the couple parted ways.

In a statement, Cage added, “I did not talk about the marriage, and I am not going to talk about the divorce. But I cherished her.

9. Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood

In January 2006, Lisa Marie wed producer Michael Lockwood in Kyoto, Japan.

The groom’s father told PEOPLE that “they seemed to be really happy.”

Harper and Finley, twin daughters, were born to the couple in 2008.

“It’s different having babies in your 20s than when you’re 40—which I cannot even get that out to say,” Lisa Marie told PEOPLE when the girls were 3 months old. “Blow embracing it! But in my 40s, I don’t feel pulled anywhere else. We are 100 percent focused on the twins. I don’t want to miss a milestone, so I’m always here.”

Lisa Marie filed for divorce in 2016, but the couple’s terms weren’t actually settled until 2021 as a result of a protracted custody dispute.

She asserted that Lockwood was the focus of criminal investigations in 2017 involving hundreds of indecent images of youngsters discovered on his electronic devices by law enforcement. Meanwhile, he petitioned a judge to deny her primary custody of their girls out of fear that she would relapse into drug addiction. While the ex-couples sorted out their differences, Priscilla temporarily gained custody of the girls.

Lisa Marie declared to PEOPLE in 2008, “Riley and Ben are my favorite people in the world.” “We enjoy taking trips together.” Riely, who is currently 33, has pursued a modeling and acting career in the same vein as her relatives. At the tragically young age of 27, Benjamin committed suicide.
