Lisa Marie Presley opened up about her relationship with Michael Jackson in a posthumous memoir.

The pair had first met when they were young before getting together in 1994 when Presley was 25 and Jackson was 35.

Prior to their relationship becoming official, Presley had still been married to her first husband Danny Keough.

But the pair separated amicably after Jackson confessed his feelings to Presley while they were visiting Las Vegas together.

Following Presley and Keough's split, she and Jackson got together officially and would go on to marry in May 1994.

They were married for just over two years before divorcing in 1996.

Recalling the moment Jackson revealed his feelings, Presley said: "Michael said, 'I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children'."

She also revealed intimate details about their relationship in the memoir.

Presley wrote: "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."

Presley died in January 2023 at the age of of 54 from a long-term complication of bariatric surgery she had previously undergone.

Her daughter Riley Keough would go on to complete the memoir using tapes her mom had made.

Explaining the purpose behind the memoir, she said: "I hope that in an extraordinary circumstance, people relate to a very human experience of love, heartbreak, loss, addiction and family.

"[My mom] wanted to write a book in the hopes that someone could read her story and relate to her, to know that they're not alone in the world. Her hope with this book was just human connection. So that's mine."

She also spoke about the scrutiny faced by her mom, who was the daughter of Elvis Presley.

Keough told PEOPLE: "Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected.

“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."

She added: "I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive.”
