Elvis Presley had to end Ann-Margret affair after 'engagement' story was released

Elvis Presley had to end Ann-Margret affair after 'engagement' story was released

In 1964 Elvis Presley met his co-star for his new film Viva Las Vegas, Ann-Margret. The actress was hugely famous at the time, coming off of her performance in hit movie Bye Bye Birdie just one year before. The pair met before filming began and Ann-Margret remembered how they hit it off straight away. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to last forever.

Ann-Margret was described as the “female Elvis” by the Memphis Mafia because they were so alike.

As the pair spent more time together both on-screen and off-screen, their bond grew even stronger.

Over the course of a year, it is safe to say Elvis and Ann-Margret truly fell in love – despite the fact Elvis was still romantically linked to Priscilla Presley (Beaulieu at the time).

Fate intervened shortly before the film was released internationally, splitting up the star-crossed lovers.

In 1965 Ann-Margret flew to London, England to promote Viva Las Vegas and appear at the world premiere.

Elvis did not attend the premiere because his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, did not have a passport, so he could not leave the United States.

Ann-Margret took on the event solo, but on the red carpet she was grilled about her (at the time) rumoured relationship with Elvis – and nothing else.

The 24-year-old would not reveal anything about her relationship with the star, however, and opted to avoid the questions as best she could.

A short while after the news about Ann-Margret and Elvis’ “engagement”, the King broke off the affair.

Elvis then returned to Graceland and proposed to Priscilla within the year. A year later, in 1967, the pair were married. 

Speaking out in her memoir, My Story, Ann-Margret explained: “There were other factors in Elvis’s life that forced him apart from me. And I understood them.

“Elvis had always been honest with me, but still it was a confusing situation.”

Ann-Margret went on: “We continued to see each other periodically until we had dated for almost a year. Then everything halted.

“We knew the relationship had to end, that Elvis had to fulfil his commitment.”

The pair remained great friends for the rest of Elvis’ life.

The King visited Ann-Margret during her Vegas residency and sent her flowers when she got married.
