In her memoir, released after her death, Lisa Marie Presley says that when she and her second husband, Michael Jackson, started their relationship, he was a virgin. Michael Jackson, known as the “King of Pop,” passed away from a heart attack in 2009 at the age of 50, just weeks before his final tour was set to begin.
Michael Jackson married singer Lisa Marie Presley in 1994, but they divorced two years later. Presley passed away in January 2023 at the age of 54 due to complications from weight loss surgery. The two first met in 1975 when Lisa was just seven years old at a Jackson Five concert in Las Vegas, where her father, Elvis Presley, was also performing.
Their romance didn’t start until about 20 years later, when Lisa Marie was 26 and Michael was 35. They got married shortly after Lisa divorced her first husband, Danny Keough, with whom she had two children.
In her book From Here to the Great Unknown, released on October 8 and finished by her daughter Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley shared that Michael Jackson told her he was still a virgin when they got together. He mentioned that he had only kissed Tatum O’Neal and had a non-physical relationship with Brooke Shields. He also said Madonna once tried to hook up with him, but nothing happened. Lisa Marie admitted she was nervous about doing something wrong.
She added that when Michael decided to kiss her for the first time, he took the lead in everything. The physical side of their relationship started quickly, which surprised her because she thought they might wait until marriage. But Michael told her, “I’m not waiting!”
In her memoir, Lisa Marie Presley wrote about how their relationship grew. Michael Jackson told her, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children.”
At first, she didn’t know what to say, so she replied, “I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk.” She added that by that time, she had fallen in love with him too.

Mom Leaves Note On “Disrespectful” Son’s Door, And Now It’s Going Viral
Heidi Johnson’s approach to parenting her teenager, Aaron, certainly stands out. By framing her concerns through a tangible lens—an itemized bill—she turned a typical parenting challenge into a teachable moment about responsibility and appreciation. Her intention was to highlight the realities of running a household, rather than actually expecting him to foot the bill.
The letter not only communicated her feelings but also encouraged open dialogue between them, which seems to have strengthened their relationship rather than damaged it. It’s interesting how a simple act of honesty and creativity can resonate with others, prompting them to reach out for support. Johnson’s willingness to share her experience publicly shows how parenting struggles can connect people and foster community.
This kind of approach could inspire other parents facing similar issues. It emphasizes that teaching respect and responsibility doesn’t have to be punitive; it can also be an opportunity for growth and understanding. How do you feel about her method? Would you consider trying something similar in your own parenting?
