Elvis Presley would have been 91 years old on Thursday, January 8, and his ex-wife Priscilla marked the date with a heartfelt Instagram post.
“It’s hard to believe you would be 91 today — surely just as handsome as ever,” the Dallas alum, 80, wrote over a shot of them kissing.
“No one could ever truly understand the depth of what we shared. Our love never faded, even through the difficult times,” added Priscilla, who scored the post with Bread’s 1970 hit, “Make It With You.”
“Each year, I celebrate your birthday quietly in my heart, knowing you are surrounded by the family you loved so deeply,” she concluded. “Happy Birthday, Elvis.”
Priscilla met the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll when she was just 14 years old and wed him in Las Vegas in 1967. They welcomed daughter Lisa Marie in 1968 and divorced in 1973 amid affairs on both sides.

In her 2025 memoir, Softly As I Leave You, Priscilla described how they held hands in court while finalizing their split. “I listened to the judge pronounce us divorced and then walked out into the sunshine, still holding hands with the man I loved. Who, I had no doubt, still loved me,” she wrote.
“Even though we divorced, Elvis and I remained together spiritually until he died” in 1977, she wrote, adding that on one of the times they met after their marriage was over, he sang Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” to her.
