Priscilla Presley had nothing but kind words for her ex-partner, Marco Garibaldi. The pair became a couple for a while and even lived under the same roof but did not rush into marriage.

According to Priscilla, they were both hesitant to wed as it may have ruined their relationship. Nevertheless, Garibaldi changed her life in many beautiful ways.

"Since we've been living together, Marco has changed my life. I don't take things so seriously. I find myself laughing," she said in 1986, nine years after her ex-husband, Elvis Presley's death. Garibaldi, along with Lisa Presley, also helped her through difficult times.

Although they did not marry, Priscilla knew Garibaldi would be an amazing father. Their son was not the product of a sudden decision but a well-thought-out choice.

Marco Is Known for Working in the Movie Industry

Born in Italy on November 30, 1954, Garibaldi became an entrepreneur in different industries. He was educated at IBM's Systems Research Institute and became a tech entrepreneur, builder, and consultant.

However, he also worked in entertainment as a writer, director, and producer, known for the famous television series "Dallas" and "The Hitchhiker." He also produced "Across the Hall" and directed "The Power Rangers."

Marco Garibaldi Had a Close Connection with Priscilla Presley, but They Never Married

Garibaldi — 11 years his famous beau's junior — and Priscilla's love story began when they met in 1983 through mutual friends. Three years later, her spokesman, Paul Bloch, revealed they were expecting a child and referred to Garibaldi as Priscilla's fiancé.

Lisa, Priscilla's daughter with Elvis Presley, approved of her mother's relationship with Garibaldi and was happy to learn of the pregnancy. She even joined Lamaze classes with her mom as a form of bonding.

Lisa was also in the delivery room when her mom gave birth to Navarone, her half-brother, in 1987. She considers her mom her best friend and a role model for motherhood.

Navarone's older sister, Lisa Marie Presley, passed away in January 2023 after a cardiac arrest at 54. Lisa was discovered lifeless in her bedroom before her ex-husband, Danny Keough, performed CPR.

Meanwhile, Priscilla wanted her relationship with Garibaldi to work out. "You have to get out of bad experiences. You have to move on," she said. Like his lover, Garibaldi was once a married man.

Sadly, the duo called it quits in 2006 without disclosing the reason for their breakup. Much of their relationship also remained private.

Marco Garibaldi Has a Grown-up Son Navarone

Garibaldi's son, Navarone, was born in 1987 and is now grown up. Like his family members, he is a skilled entertainer, working as a musician. In 2013, he founded the band Them Guns and wrote some of their songs apart from singing and playing the guitar.

He is also a married man. On February 15, 2022, Navarone tied the knot with Elisa Achilli in Switzerland. The ceremony took place at Schloss Hunigen Hotel with their friends and family, including the groom's mother.

Unfortunately, Navarone's older sister, Lisa Marie Presley, passed away in January 2023 after a cardiac arrest at 54. Lisa was discovered lifeless in her bedroom before her ex-husband, Danny Keough, performed CPR.

Lisa Presley ended up in the hospital and died beside her mom and daughter after an induced coma. Priscilla Presley later revealed that her daughter died from the same disease that took her father, Elvis.

Following her death, Danny Keough prayed for Lisa as he became a single father to their twins. The celebrity's death came as a surprise to many.
