Elvis Lovechild Sensation: The King and Priscilla Presley's 'Previously Unknown Grandkid' Living in Florida, Bombshell Court Documents Claim
Elvis has been tied to a lovechild in a sensational new court filing.

Elvis and Priscilla Presley have a secret grandchild living in Florida, according to sensational new documents filed in a bitter court battle between The King’s widow and a former business associate.
An October 17 filing exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com claims a one-time partner of Priscilla's — an auction house owner who co-founded a company in the Presley matriarch's name — dropped a bombshell about the actress' apparent "deep" and "personal ties to Florida".
The lawsuit – pictured above – said: "Her late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, lived in Florida, in addition to a grandchild (the grandchild of Elvis and Presley), who still resides in Florida as of today."
It did not name the mystery grandchild of Elvis and his only wife Priscilla.
Elvis and 79-year-old Priscilla's sole child was Lisa Marie, who died aged 54 in January 2023 from a bowel obstruction linked to weight loss surgery she underwent several years before her shock passing.
The development was included in Brigitte Kruse's amended complaint in the legal fight – and is an attempt to stave off Priscilla's desperate bid to have the lawsuit dismissed based on the claim she has few ties to Florida.
Tony Ortega, an investigative journalist who has chronicled Lisa Marie’s links to the Church of Scientology first reported the lawsuit in his newsletter.
He said: "We know that Lisa's daughter Riley Keough lives in California, not Florida and that her son Ben died in 2020."
Ortega added: "The lawsuit does mention Riley a couple of times, but it is clear that the grandchild in Florida they are referring to is not Riley. Lisa’s younger twin daughters, Harper and Finley, live with their father Michael Lockwood in California.
"The lawsuit, in other words, is implying that Lisa had another, previously unknown, child who lives today in Florida, and that this existing grandchild is part of the reason that Priscilla has definite ties to the state."
A key extract from the sensational suit.
Known as the 'King of Rock and Roll', Elvis is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century.
Kruse added in the filing: "Presley's cousin, who currently lives with her in California, also has a residence in Florida.
"In January 2023, Presley signed a five-year lease for residential property in Orlando, Florida, with the intention of finding and owning a permanent home in Florida.
"Presley was shopping for a permanent home in the Palm Beach area. Presley demanded that her belongings be moved to Florida, where they were stored for her at no cost to help get the move started."
She added: "Presley visited Florida repeatedly to explore housing options, including in August 2022, January 2023, March 2023, and June 2023.
"On January 7, 2023, she traveled to Palm Beach to meet former President Donald Trump at his residence there.
"Presley visited Florida on November 11, 2023, to attend an event for Victoria’s Voice Foundation, a foundation founded by David and Jackie Siegel for drug abuse awareness and prevention.
"Presley has been to Florida repeatedly in the year before the Complaint was originally filed and continues to visit on a frequent basis."
Priscilla Presley – former wife of Elvis Presley and the mother of Lisa Marie Presley.
In response to Kruse's lawsuit, Priscilla filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court in June, alleging the people behind the LLC established in her name "fraudulentlty coerced" her into “giving them power of attorney, control over her family and personal trusts and control over her bank accounts over two years.
Priscilla claimed the managers of Priscilla Presley Partners, LLC, including Kruse, worked with others to misappropriate more than $1 million of her funds.
But the tit-for-tat legal feud has now taken on a new dimension and will doubtless cause Elvis watches to pour over Lisa Marie's torrid relationships.
Elvis' final decade of life was riddled with weight issues and drug abuse.
Lisa Marie first tied the knot with musician Danny Keough in 1988.
The couple welcomed daughter Riley and late son Benjamin in 1989 and 1992. Benjamin died by suicide in 2020 at age 27.
The Sticks and Stones singer then married pop star Michael Jackson, whom she wed secretly in the Dominican Republic in 1994 — just 20 days after her divorce from Danny was finalised.
Lisa Marie announced in a statement: "I am very much in love with Michael, I dedicate my life to being his wife.
"I understand and support him. We both look forward to raising a family."
Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, along with her daughter, Riley.
The pair first met in 1975 when the seven-year-old Lisa Marie saw the King of Pop in concert.
Diane Sawyer famously asked the pair in an interview if they had a sex life, to which Lisa Marie enthusiastically responded: "Do we have sex? Yes! Yes! Yes!"
But after two years of marriage, Lisa Marie filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences".
'I knew how much I was adored, how much he loved me,' Lisa Marie once said about her dad, Elvis.

Lisa Marie walked down the aisle a third time, with Nicolas Cage, in 2002.
In an interview with Barbara Walters, Cage said he was "thunderstruck" by Lisa Marie when they met at a party in 2000.
Cage declared: "I walk into a party not knowing who I'm going to meet and there’s this beautiful girl standing in the middle of the living room wearing this short leather skirt and this fluffy jacket, and she looks up at me with these big, beautiful, soulful eyes, eyes that look like they have a sad story to tell, and I just went 'Oh'."
Four months after they exchanged vows, the Oscar winner filed for divorce.
Lisa Marie said in a statement at the time: "I'm sad about this, but we shouldn’t have been married in the first place."
Nicolas Cage and Presley had a whirlwind romance that began when the two started dating in 2001. After breaking up and then reuniting, they were married in August of 2002.
Lisa Marie married for a fourth and final time in 2006 to musician Michael Lockwood.
Her ex-husband Danny was the best man at their wedding.
The couple welcomed twin daughters Harper and Finley in 2008.
After 10 years of marriage, Lisa Marie filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences and requesting that Lockwood only be allowed monitored visitation of their daughters.
A years-long custody battle over their children ensued.
Their divorce was finalised in 2021, five years after their split.
