In 1967, when Priscilla was 21 and Elvis 32, they tied the knot. The actress was excited to be the rock star's wife and happy to finally travel the world with him.
However, that plan was put on hold when the couple found out they were expecting their first child together soon after getting married. Priscilla admitted that she and Elvis were not ready to have children because they first wanted to live out their honeymoon fantasy.

The actress remembered the day she suspected she was pregnant. She said she was lying down when she experienced a weird sensation in her stomach. Priscilla told Elvis about her suspicions, but she was surprised to see that he was not as worried about the pregnancy as she was.
The "Burning Love" singer did not waste time. He got his wife to the doctor and anxiously waited for the verdict. After being in the doctor's room for a while, she came out and told Elvis, "You’re going to be a daddy."

The rock star was over the moon and wanted to share the good news with everyone. Priscilla, on the other hand, worried that her pregnancy would change their marriage. She wanted to start their union by traveling to exotic locations with no responsibilities.
Instead, the actress faced the reality of starting her marriage with a growing belly and swollen feet. Grappling with the pregnancy was difficult for the soon-to-be mom. She remembered a time when she and Elvis were hanging out with some of his friends and felt overwhelmed with emotion.

The singer realized the emotional distress his wife was in and told her he would be supportive of any decision she made. But Priscilla knew she would not be able to live with herself if anything happened to their baby.
Eventually, the pregnancy became something that brought the couple closer together. They had an amazing baby shower, but the reality of being a father hit Elvis when Priscilla was seven months pregnant.

The "Can't Help Falling In Love" singer told his seven-month-pregnant wife that something in their marriage was not working and that they needed time apart. "I wanted to die. I was seven months pregnant and could not believe what I was hearing. It had to be a joke," Priscilla recalled.
Priscilla believed Elvis' cold feet came from him thinking of his public image. He worried how his fans would perceive him as a father while still trying to figure out what his new role as a husband was also doing to his music career.

However, after two days, the singer got over his fears, and the idea of separating wasn't mentioned again. In 1968, Priscilla and her husband welcomed their daughter, Lisa Marie. Their marriage was not perfect, and after six years of ups and downs, the couple split in 1973.
Priscilla built a career as an actress. She is famous for her role in the soap opera "Dallas" and in the film "Naked Gun." Although things between her and Elvis did not work out, the actress never regretted that part of her life. She said, "I truly cherish the great times. As you grow up, there are always fears and insecurities."
Elvis Presley, as a Father
Although things between Elvis and Priscilla did not work out, the singer was still a great father to their daughter. The King of Rock died when Lisa was only nine years old, but she still had several fond memories of her dad.
Lisa had a close relationship with Elvis and said he was the best man she knew, so any other man who came into her life had a lot to live up to. "He was the most incredible, enigmatic, powerful, dynamic human being I've ever met," she expressed.
The father and daughter spent time together watching TV in Lisa's room. If they were not indoors, Elvis would let his daughter tag along on his golf cart or take her to visit her grandfather.
Since Elvis was a worldwide known rock star, not many people understood his personality, but Lisa said he used to have a bad temper. Every emotion he felt was extreme; if he was angry, he would scare people away, and if he was happy, it would be over the top.
Lisa was fortunate to grow up without the internet. Despite how famous her father was, she admitted that she could still have a normal childhood since the world of paparazzi was not as big as it is today.
Elvis died when he was 42 years old and only had one child. However, he and Priscilla had prepared baby names for both girls and boys. The actress revealed in a Facebook post that she bought a baby name book for them to decide on names.
They loved the name Lisa Marie for a baby girl, but had they had a son; they would have named him John Baron. In the new age of advanced technology, these AI-generated photos gave a glimpse of how Elvis and Priscilla's son would have looked.

According to these AI-generated pictures, John Baron would have been the spitting image of his father, from the eyes, the hair, the lips, and the beardless face. The world would have had another twin of the King of Pop.
Although Elvis has died and his one and only daughter has passed, he has grandchildren keeping his legacy alive, and he gifted the world with timeless music.
