Elvis Presley was the King of Rock and Roll, but he could also be called the King of Broken Hearts. Everyone knows his famous songs, but not everyone knows about the many women he dated. He was married only once, but he had girlfriends, secret flings, and movie star romances all his life. From famous actresses to beauty queens, Elvis was a busy man when it came to love. Let’s look at the women who captured the King’s heart.
In the 1950s, Elvis was just becoming a star, and he met many beautiful women. He dated Rita Moreno, a famous actress, but she actually found him boring and only dated him to make another boyfriend jealous. Then there was June Juanico, who met Elvis in 1955. They were in love, but his fame got in the way. His manager wanted him to be seen with showgirls, not a regular girlfriend. Another interesting date was with food writer Gael Greene. She does not remember much about their night together, but she never forgot the fried egg sandwich he ordered for room service. Even Natalie Wood, a huge movie star, dated him. But it ended because Elvis was too close to his mother, which made Natalie uncomfortable.
Movie Stars and On-Set Romances
Elvis made many movies, and he often fell for his co-stars. In 1962, he dated Tuesday Weld. She said he was beautiful but had “great needs” deep down. One of his strongest connections was with Ann-Margret, his co-star in Viva Las Vegas. They had a special “electricity” and were very much alike. She wrote in her book that their bond was a force they could not control. But because Elvis was already with Priscilla, this intense romance had to end. He also had a fling with Anne Helm, who called him a “big kid” who was lots of fun to be around.
Every Woman Elvis Dated or Hooked up With
Secret Flings of the 1970s
Even after he was married or with a serious girlfriend, Elvis had affairs. In the 1970s, he dated Peggy Lipton from The Mod Squad. She said he was a great kisser but they had trouble in the bedroom, so she let it go. He also had a short time with Cybill Shepherd in 1972, who said he was a “sexy, incredible guy.” Then came Linda Thompson, a songwriter who dated him for four years. She was a virgin when they met, which she says Elvis loved because he was a very jealous and territorial man. Sadly, his drug use and cheating pushed her away too.
The last woman in Elvis’s life was Ginger Alden. They started dating in 1976 and got engaged quickly, even though she was 21 years younger than him. They were together until the very end. Ginger has shared many stories about their time, including a sad moment where Elvis looked at his daughter Lisa Marie and said she had the same look in her eyes as him. Ginger was the one who found Elvis when he passed away. She later wrote a book to tell her side of the story as his last love.
While Elvis had many girlfriends, Priscilla Presley was the only one he married. In a recent interview, she shared what it was really like to be Mrs. Presley. She met him in 1959 when she was just a teenager. She was shocked by how tall he was, noting he was over six feet. Priscilla admitted she was a “trad wife” who loved taking care of him. She said Elvis never did chores like washing dishes or making the bed; that was her job, and she was happy to do it because she wanted to be part of his life.
Priscilla revealed that she left Elvis in 1972 not because she stopped loving him, but because she needed to find herself. She wanted to live life on her own terms. Even after they divorced, they stayed best friends. Elvis would even call her at 3:00 AM just to talk about his worries. She said their relationship was actually better after the divorce because the pressure of marriage was gone. She does not think they would have gotten back together if he lived, because they worked better as close friends.

Priscilla also spoke about their daughter, Lisa Marie. She called Lisa a “toughy” who wasn’t afraid of anything and ruled the house as a child. Priscilla also talked about Lisa Marie’s marriage to Michael Jackson. Priscilla did not like this marriage at all. She felt that Michael Jackson, who was a huge Elvis fan, was just “using” Lisa Marie to get publicity and be connected to the Elvis name. She was worried about her daughter the whole time.
Elvis Presley was a man with a big voice and a complicated love life. From brief dates with movie stars to a long friendship with his ex-wife he was always searching for connection. His stories, songs and secrets keep fans interested even decades later. Whether it was a fried egg sandwich or a 3 AM phone call, the women in his life saw a side of the King that the rest of the world can only imagine.
