Michael Jackson claimed he was "still a virgin" when he met Lisa Marie Presley.
The late King of Pop was married to singer Lisa - who passed away herself in 2023 at the age of 54 following a sudden cardiac arrest - from 1994 until 1996 and in her posthumous memoir 'From Here to the Great Unknown', he is said to have claimed he had never been physically intimate with anyone when they first crossed paths.
She wrote: "He told me he was still a virgin. I think he had kissed Tatum O'Neal, and he'd had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn't been physical apart from a kiss. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened. I was terrified because I didn't want to make the wrong move."
By the time they tied the knot in 1994, Lisa had already been married to Danny Keough and was mother to Riley, 35, and Benjamin - who took his own life in 2020 at the age of 27 - but they divorced just two years later in August 1996.
Michael - who died in 2009 at the age of 50 - went on to marry Debbie Rowe and had Prince, 27, Paris, 26, as well as 21-year-old Bigi with her but they divorced in 2000 after four years together.
Lisa - who was the daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley - was then married to Nicolas Cage from 2002 until 2004 but then tied the knot with guitarist Michael Lockwood in 2006 and went on to have twins Finley and Harper, 16, with him before they called it quits in 2021.
Lisa's eldest daughter has completed the memoir on her behalf and hopes that the tome fulfils her mother's wish that others could learn what lay behind her image as a celebrity.
She told People: "Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected. What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was. To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatized, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life. I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive."
