Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of the famous Elvis Presley,
died at the age of 54 from a heart attack
.
Her love life was intense and she was marked (in addition to the sudden deaths of her father and her son) by her romantic relationships, including with Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
Lisa Marie Presley was married four times, divorced four times, and had four children.
In addition to the magazine covers earned for being the daughter and heiress of the king of rock, she also had them -and many- for those who accompanied her to the altar.
Among her husbands was another king -this one, of pop- the controversial
Michael Jackson
, with a life full of conflicts (such as trials for child abuse) and eccentricities.
Also the actor
Nicolas Cage
, whose union was so fleeting that just four months after his "I do" they separated their paths.

the first marriage
Lisa Marie Presley's first husband was
Danny Keough
.
They got married in 1988 in Morocco.
As a result of this relationship, her first two children were born, Riley (in 1989) and Benjamin (in 1992), who committed suicide in 2020 at the age of 27, a victim of his addictions.
Danny Keough was an actor and musician, and was part of his band.
He was with Lisa Marie until 1994, when they filed for divorce due to
irreconcilable differences
.
However, their relationship was so good that they even
lived together at the time of Lisa's death
: it was Keough who gave her the first cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the paramedics arrived at the Calabasas residence where she suffered a heart attack.
"We're like brothers.
It's a good message for people: you don't have to take out your frustration on your kids even if you're not together.
You can be civilized (…) I knew that Danny could be a good father, ”he declared in 2005 to
People
magazine .
Michael's hour

Just a month after ending her separation from Keough, Lisa Marie Presley remarried.
And this time it was super media: she married Michael Jackson in the Dominican Republic.
And the surprising relationship between the two
captured the attention of the world press
.
Rumors were running:
it was said that it was a set up of the couple
, since it coincided with the controversial accusations against the artist for child abuse.
Lisa and Michael Jackson have known each other since they were children and she has always expressed her admiration for the king of pop.
“I am very much in love with Michael and I will dedicate my life to being his wife.
I understand and support it.
We are looking forward to creating a family together," Lisa Marie said in a statement at the time.
This union lasted just two years
, as they divorced in 1996. Although they separated, they remained friends and Lisa accompanied him at some of the History Tour concerts in 1997.
In October 2010, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Lisa Marie spoke for the first time about Jackson's death (it was June 25, 2009).
“I know it's naive to think that she could have done something, but wanted to.
I was crying all day
.
It was the strangest day of my life,” she said.

He also took stock of how his relationship with the king of pop was, who was in the spotlight at all times.
“I didn't really understand my relationship with him.
It has been now that I felt all the love again and the understanding ”she said.
He further added: “
It was a normal marriage in every way
.”
He then confessed that after their divorce they continued to see each other for four years and that they valued making their reconciliation public.

The artist met actor Nicolas Cage at the birthday party of
Johnny Ramone
, one of the members of the punk band The Ramones, in 2000 and they became inseparable.
Two years later
they were married in Hawaii in a secret ceremony,
which coincided with the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death.
However, four months later they dissolved this union.
"I'm very saddened by this, but we shouldn't have gotten married in the first place," Lisa Marie said in a statement at the time.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2003, he referred to his relationship with Nicolas in this way.
"We were both so dramatic and dynamic that when it was good, it was unbelievably good; but
when it was bad, it was a bloody nightmare for both of
us."
Her last marriage was to her guitarist and producer Michael Lockwood, whom she married in 2006 in a ceremony in Japan in which her first husband served as best man.
She with him she was
a mother again
: in 2008 she had the twins Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love, who are now thirteen years old.

The couple ended their union in 2016 and embarked on a legal battle punctuated by controversial mutual accusations that came to an end in 2021. At the time of his death, he had no known partner and was focused on his family, trying to overcome the heavy blow that the death of her son Benjamin was for her.
