Priscilla Presley Reflects on a Lifetime of Love: the Definitive Timeline of Her Heart and Career
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
The most substantial, enduring relationship of Priscilla Presley’s adult life began in 1984, when a mutual friend introduced her to Italian-American screenwriter and producer Marco Garibaldi. Garibaldi was private, uninterested in Hollywood glitz, and deeply protective of his personal sphere. He offered Priscilla something she had never experienced: a relationship shielded from the invasive machinery of the entertainment press.
Their partnership flourished without pomp. In 1987, Priscilla gave birth to their son, Navarone Garibaldi. For over two decades, the couple lived as a modern family in Beverly Hills. Priscilla balance-beamed her acting role as Jenna Wade on the hit television series Dallas, comedic turns in the smash-hit The Naked Gun franchise, and her duties managing the estate, while Garibaldi worked on independent production ventures.
Despite raising a son together and building an enduring domestic rhythm, they never wed. Friends close to the couple noted that neither felt the need to validate their 22-year commitment with institutional paperwork. When the partnership amicably dissolved in 2006, they avoided the scorched-earth court battles typical of long-term separations. Navarone would grow up to forge his own path as a musician fronting the synth-rock outfit Them Guns, maintaining strong ties with both parents.
