Lisa Marie Presley and spouse Michael Lockwood are awaiting their divorce. The sole heiress of the late Rock & Roll King Elvis Presley’s property is a mother of four children. Presley has had a string of failed marriages and is heading towards the fourth divorce, but she has always been optimistic and has prioritized her children more than anything in her life.

Lisa Marie married Michael Jackson only 20 days after divorcing Danny Keough

Lisa wasn’t an ideal student and later dropped out of the school altogether. While in her 20s, she was in a rehabilitation center for celebrities dealing with her drug abuse problem. She met the famous Rock and Roll musician Danny Keough in the same place and immediately realized her feelings for him. The couple got married at the church of Scientology in West Hollywood on October 3, 1988. Lisa and Danny had two children together before divorcing in 1994. 

Twenty days after the divorce was finalized, i.e., on 26 May, she secretly married Michael Jackson. Jackson had proposed Lisa through the phone in late 1993. During that time, Presley and Jackson were in regular contact over the phone as Jackson sought for emotional support from Presley due to a child abuse accusation.

Things did not go well between Lisa and Michael, and she filed for divorce in January 1996 citing irreconcilable differences. However, they dated on and off for about four years following the divorce.

Lisa Marie Presley is heading towards the fourth divorce

In 2000, Lisa and American singer/songwriter John Oszajca got engaged, shortly after which she met actor Nicolas Cage at a party. She fell head over heels for him and broke off her engagement with John.

On August 10, 2002, she married Nicolas Cage in an oceanside ceremony near the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel, Hawaii.  Only 108 days after the marriage, Cage filed for a divorce.  The divorce kept the couple together longer than their marriage as the divorce process was finalized only on May 16, 2004.

Lisa Presley was heartbroken by her failed marriages, but being a strong woman that she is and the heir to the iconic surname Presley, she wasn’t ready to give up on finding “the one”. In January 2006, she got married for the fourth time to Michael Lockwood, who is her former guitarist, music producer, and director.

Presley and Lockwood’s wedding was held in Japan and saw Presley’s first husband, Keough, as the best man. She announced that she and Lockwood were expecting in March 2008 and gave birth to fraternal twins on 7 October.

Ten years after the marriage, in June 2016, Presley filed for a divorce with Lockwood. A source close to Lisa revealed that Lockwood was verbally and financially abusive towards his daughters and Presley herself. The divorce is yet not finalized and the couple is fighting for the custody of their daughter.
