In his new book ‘The Kardashians: An American Drama,’ New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer reveals that Kris Jenner almost did not make it down the aisle with Robert Kardashian, who was in love with another woman.
That woman was Priscilla Presley, who was 30 and newly divorced from Elvis Presley in 1975 when she began dating Robert, who was also newly single.
According to excerpts obtained by daily mail, his ex Kris was on the other side of the country as the romance between himself and Priscilla bloomed, where the future media maven was living in a two-bedroom apartment in the Spanish Harlem section of New York City and working as a flight attendant.
The romance between Priscilla and Robert moved fast and furious, but ultimately the two were unable to take the next step despite Robert’s desire to marry the Brooklyn-born beauty.
‘Look, I’m not going to marry anyone until Elvis dies,’ Priscilla told Robert, which put an end to their relationship after one year.
Robert and Kris quickly reunited after the split, and were married within two years.
