Lisa Marie Presley Shares Michael Jackson Was a Virgin at 35 in Memoir

As a die-hard fan of Lisa Marie Presley, I have been captivated by her extraordinary life since the day I first heard her father’s iconic voice. But with the release of her memoir “From Here to the Great Unknown,” I feel like I’ve finally gotten a glimpse into the heart and soul of this enigmatic woman.


New details about Lisa Marie Presley’s time with the man in the mirror are being revealed.

Approximately two years following Lisa’s passing, her memoir titled “From Here to the Great Unknown” was published with assistance from her daughter, Riley Keough. In this book, Riley, the offspring of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, opens up about her marriage to Michael Jackson, which lasted for two years starting in 1994 when he was 35 and she was 25.

In her book, published on October 8th as reported by People, Lisa wrote about how he shared that he was still a virgin. She recalls him possibly having kissed Tatum O’Neal and having something more than just a kiss with Brooke Shields. He also mentioned that Madonna had attempted to initiate something between them once, but nothing materialized.

She continued, “I was terrified because I didn’t want to make the wrong move.”

In addition to singing, the artist also discussed the early stages of their relationship. Notably, at that point, Lisa was married to her first husband, Danny Keough, who was also the father of their late son, Benjamin Keough. However, their marriage didn’t last long after Michael declared his love during a trip to Las Vegas, and they eventually separated.

Michael expressed, “It seems you might not have realized this yet, but I’ve fallen head over heels for you. I long for us to tie the knot and start a family together,” he shared. However, I remained speechless for a moment, only managing to reply later with, “I’m truly touched, I’m at a loss for words.

As she noted, “By then, I felt I was in love with him too.”

In the memoir “From Here to the Great Unknown,” a glimpse into Lisa’s time with Michael is just one aspect of her life that gets revealed. As Riley had mentioned earlier, this book aims to unveil the private individual hidden behind the public figure.

Due to being Elvis Presley’s daughter, my mother was frequently discussed, debated, and scrutinized,” shared the 35-year-old star of ‘Daisy Jones & The Six,’ in an interview published on October 8th with People. “In her memoir, she aimed to delve beneath the sensationalized media portrayal of her and uncover the essence of who she truly was. I hope that’s what I’ve managed to achieve in completing it for her.

She went on saying, “I aim to bring my mom to life fully, depicting her as an exceptional mother, a free-spirited child, a loyal friend, an underestimated artist, honest, humorous, scarred, joyful, mourning, embodying all she was during her extraordinary lifetime. I want to let my mother speak through me, something she couldn’t do when she was alive.

Ever since Lisa’s untimely departure in 2023, I, a devoted admirer, have felt the sting of sorrow alongside Michael’s closest confidants as we mourn her absence.

In a heartfelt tribute, La Toya Jackson penned about Lisa: “You’ll always dwell in our hearts. I’ll never forget how openly you expressed the affection you had for my brother, sharing it with me. I am deeply grateful for your honesty, bravery, and unreserved love.

The King of Pop’s estate also shared some words about Lisa.

John Branca and John McClain expressed deep sadness over the unexpected and tragic passing of Michael’s ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley. In a statement on behalf of his estate, they mentioned that Michael held a unique affection for Lisa Marie, as evident in the official video for ‘You Are Not Alone’. They also shared that during their times together, Michael found solace and warmth in Lisa Marie’s compassionate love, concern, and care.

In the memoir “From Here to the Great Unknown,” a glimpse into one aspect of Lisa’s life – her time with Michael – is revealed. As Riley had mentioned earlier, this book aims to unveil the real woman beyond her public image.

Due to the fact that she was Elvis Presley’s daughter, there was always a lot of discussion, debate, and analysis surrounding her. The lead actress from “Daisy Jones & the Six,” who is 35 years old, shared this in an interview with People on October 8th. What she aimed to achieve in her memoir, and what I believe I’ve accomplished by completing it for her, is to delve beneath the superficial headlines about her and reveal her true essence.

She went on, expressing, “I aim to fully portray my mother as a three-dimensional individual: an exceptional mother, a free-spirited child, a loyal friend, a talent hidden yet appreciated, honest, amusing, scarred, joyful, sorrowful, all that she embodied throughout her extraordinary life. I wish to provide a voice for my mother that she never had during her lifetime.
