How Priscilla Presley almost became a Kardashian after Elvis: following her divorce from the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, she dated Kris Jenner’s ex, Robert Kardashian Sr …

- After Elvis and Priscilla Presley divorced in 1973, the brunette beauty dated Robert Kardashian Sr, the lawyer later criticised for defending OJ Simpson
- While dating Priscilla, Robert Sr kept in touch with Jenner, then later married her and had Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Jr – but Priscilla didn’t want to remarry while Elvis was alive
We know that Elvis Presley dated Linda Thompson, who then married former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, before Caitlyn got hitched to Kris Kardashian. But in another bizarre connection between the Presleys and the KUWTK matriarch, did you know that Priscilla Presley dated Robert Kardashian Sr, also before Kris tied the knot with him as her first hubby?
Priscilla, who grew up the daughter of a US Navy pilot, met the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll when she was 14 and he was in his 20s serving his time in the army in Germany. They fell in love and eventually got married years later in 1967, having a daughter together, Lisa Marie. Much to the world’s dismay, the lovebirds called it quits in 1973, in part due to Elvis’ alleged infidelity.

Both divorcees went on to enjoy a string of romances in the years that followed, yet Priscilla, over 40 years later, still insists that Elvis remains the “love of my life”.
One of Priscilla’s first romances following the split was with high-flying lawyer Robert Kardashian Sr, who later became the controversial defence lawyer for OJ Simpson’s murder trial – but perhaps is equally famous for being the late father to Kim, Khloé, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian Jr.
So what do we know about their little-reported fling from 1975-1976?
