Priscilla Decided To Leave Elvis
Even before their marriage, Priscilla had objected to certain aspects of Elvis’s rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, his constant infidelity taking a particularly heavy toll on their relationship. But it wasn’t until they welcomed their daughter in 1968 that the couple started to drift further and further apart.
As the distance between Elvis and Priscilla grew, they both started having relationships with other people. Elvis even had his girlfriend, Linda Thompson, move in with him before he and Priscilla separated. After a relationship that lasted 14 years, their marriage was over by October 1973.
