Elvis: Did King want more kids after Lisa Marie? Priscilla on what a boy would be named

Exactly nine months to the day after their wedding night, Elvis Presley’s wife Priscilla gave birth to Lisa Marie on February 1, 1968. The couple would sadly split and then divorce in 1973 and The King never had any more kids. There’s been much speculation over the years on if the singer did want more children and one close relative in the Memphis Mafia has recently chimed on the matter.

Danny Smith (the son of Elvis’ cousin Billy) grew up with The King at Graceland and answered the question in a recent Q&A.

Speaking on the Memphis Mafia YouTube channel, he said: “It’s been said by different people, yay and nay. And like I said, no one person was around Elvis all the time. I don’t know what he may have told other folks and he never told me that he did. But I just had that feeling or felt like he was very content and happy with Lisa and just the way things were going. I personally don’t think he was looking to have more children. Only really Elvis would know that but, my view of it…that’s what I personally think.”

Priscilla and Lisa Marie will be portrayed in the upcoming Elvis movie biopic.

Austin Butler stars as The King with Olivia DeJonge as his only wife who he met when she was just 14 in Germany.

The musical blockbuster is directed by Baz Luhrmann and co-stars Tom Hanks as the singer’s manager Colonel Tom Parker.

Elvis hits cinemas on June 24, 2022.
