In her new book, Priscilla Presley reveals that late ex-husband Elvis Presley asked if she wanted an abortion during her pregnancy with their only child, Lisa Marie Presley.

“Our wedding had meant I could finally come out in the open. I was so excited,” Priscilla, 80, writes in her upcoming memoir, Softly As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, according to Page Six. “But when I got pregnant on my wedding night, those dreams fell apart.”

Priscilla met Elvis when she was 14. The pair didn’t get married until 1967, years after they first crossed paths.

“Neither Elvis nor I was ready for a child,” the book — set to be released on Tuesday, September 23 — reads. Priscilla writes that she and Elvis “worried in silence” about their future, amid her pregnancy.
