The biggest rock star on the planet once discovered he was happily married and on his way to a luxurious honeymoon in Mexico City. The only problem was that he had never even met his beautiful new bride. This wild, completely fake news story is just one of the crazy things Elvis Presley had to deal with at the height of his fame. Let us uncover the hilarious truth behind this fake wedding and the real romantic life of the King.
Back on February 25, 1961, Elvis sat down with reporters at the Claridge Hotel in Memphis for a very famous press conference. He was in a great mood and could not help but laugh about how the media treated his private life. He joked that if he simply went out with a girl a couple of times, the newspapers would instantly blow it up into a massive, serious romance.
He then shared a totally hilarious story with the shocked reporters. One night, Elvis was just hanging out peacefully in a movie theater lobby on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Suddenly, people walked up to him looking completely confused and told the superstar that they thought he was supposed to be in Mexico.
The truth behind the confusion was wild. A Mexican newspaper had printed a massive fake story saying Elvis had secretly eloped. They confidently claimed he was arriving in Mexico City for a romantic honeymoon. The craziest part of all was that the newspaper actually reserved a real hotel suite for him and a mystery girl he had never even spoken to!

Away from the funny fake news, the real truth about his actual dating history was full of intense drama and famous faces. His most famous romance, of course, was with Priscilla Presley. They first met while he was serving in the army in Germany, and their love story eventually led to a beautiful, highly publicized Las Vegas wedding.
However, staying in a stable relationship was very hard for the most famous man in the world. He had intense, secret romances with stunning Hollywood co-stars like Ann-Margret, which caused major headlines of their own. In his later years, he also dated kind beauty queens who tried very hard to bring peace, quiet, and a sense of normal family life to his incredibly fast-paced world.
