Elvis Presley’s Bodyguard for 20 Years Reveals the Women Elvis Really Loved
For more than two decades, Elvis Presley’s bodyguard stood at the King of Rock and Roll’s side, watching history unfold in real time. From the early days of Elvis’ meteoric rise to his final, heartbreaking years at Graceland, this trusted confidant saw not only the legend admired by millions but also the vulnerable man searching for love. Now, decades later, he has revealed the truth about the women Elvis truly loved — and the stories may surprise even his most devoted fans.
Beyond the Spotlight
To the world, Elvis was a symbol of fame, sex appeal, and charisma. He was adored by women everywhere, from screaming teenagers at concerts to Hollywood starlets. But according to his longtime bodyguard, Elvis longed for something deeper: a sense of stability and genuine affection that could withstand the pressures of fame.
The bodyguard recalls how Elvis was often lonely, despite the crowds that surrounded him. He craved companionship, not just attention, and he gravitated toward women who offered him comfort and understanding.
Priscilla Presley – The Great Love
It’s no secret that Priscilla Presley was one of the most important women in Elvis’ life. Meeting her when she was just 14, their relationship blossomed into a marriage that captured the world’s attention. According to the bodyguard, Priscilla was not just Elvis’ wife but also his confidante and anchor during the turbulent 1960s.
“He loved her deeply,” the bodyguard shared. “But fame, temptation, and Elvis’ own demons made it difficult for that love to survive.” Their divorce in 1973 devastated Elvis, even though he maintained affection for her until his death.
Linda Thompson – The Comforter
Another woman who held Elvis’ heart was Linda Thompson, the beauty queen who entered his life shortly after his split with Priscilla. The bodyguard recalls how Linda became a source of comfort during Elvis’ most vulnerable years. She brought stability, humor, and kindness to his world of chaos.
“She cared for him when he was at his lowest,” he revealed. “Linda gave him unconditional love, and Elvis knew it.” Though their romance ended before his death, Linda has often spoken about the tenderness they shared.
Ginger Alden – The Final Love
When Elvis passed away in 1977, it was Ginger Alden who was with him. She was young, just 20 years old, but according to the bodyguard, Elvis had genuine feelings for her. He even proposed, hoping to find lasting happiness.
“Elvis believed Ginger might be his chance at starting fresh,” the bodyguard said. “In his final days, he was clinging to hope, and she gave him that.”
Other Women Who Touched His Heart
The King also had brief but meaningful connections with women such as Ann-Margret, with whom he shared a passionate and unforgettable bond during the filming of Viva Las Vegas. Their chemistry was undeniable, and though it didn’t last, the bodyguard insists that Ann-Margret was someone Elvis always cherished.
The Truth About Elvis’ Loves
In the end, Elvis Presley may have been adored by millions, but his heart belonged to only a few. His bodyguard’s revelations remind us that behind the glittering fame was a man who wanted what we all seek — true love and genuine companionship.
And while the world remembers him as the King of Rock and Roll, those closest to him know that Elvis Presley’s greatest legacy may not just be his music, but also the love he gave, and the women who gave it back.
