What to Know About Priscilla Presley’s 2 Kids Lisa Marie and Navarone

Priscilla Presley first became a prominent figure when she began dating and later married Elvis Presley, a meeting that occurred in 1959 and culminated in their wedding in 1967. Born in 1945 to a military family, Priscilla’s early years involved frequent relocations around the United States before eventually settling in West Germany, where she first crossed paths with Elvis.

Their union resulted in a single child, Lisa Marie, who was born in 1968. In her memoir, “Elvis and Me,” which has also been adapted into the movie “Priscilla,” Priscilla recounted her initial glimpse of Lisa Marie shortly after her birth. She noted in her book, as reported by Us Weekly, “The nurse brought [Lisa Marie] into my room, and I cradled her in my arms. She was so tiny, so beautiful. Elvis came into the room and kissed me, thrilled that we had had a perfectly normal, healthy baby. Then he took us both in his arms and held us.”

She also had a brief marriage with Michael Jackson, which lasted from 1994 to 1996. Lisa Marie was married to Nicholas Cage from 2002 to 2004 and to Michael Lockwood from 2008 to 2021. She and Lockwood welcomed twins, Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, in 2008.

In 2022, Lisa Marie attended numerous events with her mother to promote Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” film, including the 2023 Golden Globe Awards where she witnessed “Elvis” star Austin Butler claim his first award. This would be her final public appearance.

Tragically, on January 12, 2023, Lisa Marie suffered cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital, where she later passed away. As ABC News reported, an autopsy revealed that her cause of death was a result of a small bowel obstruction. Lisa Marie was laid to rest in the Graceland Meditation Garden, alongside her brother and father. Following her demise, CBS News reported that Priscilla contested her daughter’s will, which named her two children, Riley and Benjamin, as co-trustees while removing Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel. However, a settlement was reached in May and subsequently approved by a Los Angeles judge in October, according to CNN.

Nine months following Lisa Marie’s passing, Priscilla shared her grief and the “unbearable” loss during a poignant interview with the UK’s “TalkTV.” “It’s like a large part of your life is taken away,” she expressed, as reported by The Sun. According to Priscilla, Lisa Marie seemed to have fallen ill on the night of the Golden Globes. Priscilla recollected, “She didn’t look well that night, and I was concerned.” She further noted, “She asked Jerry Schilling, one of my best friends, if he could hold her. Her heels were high, but she had worn them before, and I thought, ‘Is she OK?’ She didn’t really look that OK; she looked very frail.”

The situation only deteriorated from there. Two days later, Priscilla received a call from Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, indicating that she had been rushed to the hospital. By the time Priscilla arrived, it was too late. She remarked on the heartbreaking memory, “I lost my mother, I lost my grandson, and I lost my daughter. It’s still shocking that we don’t have her.”

Navarone Garibaldi Garcia

Priscilla welcomed her son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, on March 1, 1987. She met his father, film producer Marco Garibaldi, in 1982, and they were in a relationship until their separation in 2006, as reported by Us Weekly. As a child, Navarone noted that he did not grow up living lavishly on Elvis’s estate.

When he turned 18, he made the decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. “It was an escape. It was a fresh start,” Garcia explained in a February 1 cover story interview with People, breaking his relative silence over the years. He also revealed that he struggled with addiction, which began during his teenage years. However, according to the interview, he managed to achieve sobriety in 2020, partly to be able to visit his wife, Elisa Achilli, during the pandemic. The couple married in Switzerland in February 2022 after four years of dating.

In the interview, Garcia disclosed that Elvis’s music was largely banned from his home during his upbringing, primarily due to his father. He stated, “I think my dad had a bit of a complex about it.” It wasn’t until after his father’s departure that his mother started freely playing his music again.

Garcia also shared that in 2017, he discovered that his father, Marco, was Brazilian rather than Italian, as he had originally believed. He also learned that his father’s real last name was Garcia. Garcia eventually confronted his father, who had always claimed to be from a wealthy Italian family, and the two became estranged. Garcia eventually traveled to Brazil to meet his newly discovered extended family. “I lost one family member, but I gained 20-plus,” he told People. “I have zero regrets.”

Garcia shared a common love for music with his half-sister, Lisa Marie, although the two apparently weren’t very close. Nonetheless, he paid tribute to her in an emotional Instagram post shortly after her passing. “Big sister… I hope you are now at peace and happy with your Dad and your son by your side,” he wrote. “I know the past couple years weren’t easy for you, and I wish things had been different between us. Regardless, you are my sister, and I’m sending love and prayers for your journey home. I still can’t believe this; I’m lost for words. Love you, sis. Beijos. 💔.”
