Introduction
Few stars have ever captured the world’s attention the way Elvis Presley did. Beyond the music, movies, and swiveling hips, fans have always been fascinated by his love life. Though he married only once, to Priscilla Presley, the King of Rock ’n’ Roll was romantically linked to a long list of glamorous women. Here are ten of the most famous women Elvis dated—or was rumored to date—throughout his whirlwind life.
1. Priscilla Presley
The most iconic relationship of Elvis’s life began when he met a 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu while stationed in Germany in 1959. They married in 1967, and their union produced his only child, Lisa Marie Presley. Though they divorced in 1973, Priscilla remained one of the central figures in his life story.
2. Ann-Margret
Perhaps his most legendary on-set romance, Elvis’s chemistry with Ann-Margret during the filming of Viva Las Vegas in 1964 was undeniable. The two reportedly shared an intense relationship that nearly led to marriage, though ultimately both went their separate ways.
3. Natalie Wood
Before Priscilla and Ann-Margret, Elvis had a short but much-publicized fling with actress Natalie Wood in the late 1950s. Wood, already a Hollywood darling from Rebel Without a Cause, found herself swept up in Elvis’s rising fame.
4. Cybill Shepherd
In the early 1970s, actress and model Cybill Shepherd revealed that she briefly dated Elvis. Though the romance was fleeting, it added another starlet to the King’s legendary dating history.
5. Linda Thompson
After his divorce from Priscilla, Elvis had one of his longest relationships with songwriter and beauty queen Linda Thompson. They dated from 1972 until 1976, and Thompson often described herself as Elvis’s emotional support during his turbulent final years.
6. Ginger Alden
Perhaps the most heartbreaking of all, Ginger Alden was Elvis’s fiancée at the time of his death in 1977. Just 21 years old when she met him, Alden claimed that Elvis proposed to her with a massive diamond ring. She was the one who tragically found him unresponsive at Graceland.
7. Debra Paget
Early in his Hollywood career, Elvis was smitten with actress Debra Paget. Though Paget denied that their relationship became serious, Elvis once admitted he was deeply infatuated with her.
8. Connie Stevens
Singer and actress Connie Stevens was another high-profile name linked with Elvis. While their relationship was casual, it fueled countless tabloid stories in the 1960s.
9. Peggy Lipton
Star of The Mod Squad, Peggy Lipton later wrote in her memoir that she dated Elvis briefly. She recalled his charisma but also hinted at the loneliness behind the superstar’s charm.
10. Sheila Ryan
Model and actress Sheila Ryan, who later married actor James Caan, also shared a romance with Elvis. Their relationship in the mid-1970s highlighted once again his constant need for companionship.
