Tom Jones Priscilla Presley: Is Sir Tom dating Elvis Presley's ex? Inside their friendship

Tom Jones and Priscilla Presley met when Sir Tom was only just coming onto the music scene and had just arrived in LA. Elvis Presley was very close to Sir Tom, and their friendship was integral to Sir Tom’s creative life, with Priscilla likely involved as well. But could there have been sparks from a long while ago which now have the chance to blossom?

Are Priscilla Presley and Sir Tom Jones dating?

Since his wife Linda’s death, Sir Tom has remained single.

However, there was one moment it was suggested he had moved on with an old friend, the wife of his mate Elvis Presley, Priscilla.

In 2017, Sir Tom was spotted getting into a cab with Priscilla, the ex of one of his good mates.

Sir Tom Jones, then known as Thomas Woodward, married his childhood sweetheart Melinda Trenchard when they were just 16.

Only a month after their marriage, Linda gave birth to their son Mark, who went on to become Sir Tom’s manager and touring partner.

The couple tied the knot in 1957 and stayed together for 59 years until Linda’s death in 2016.

On April 10, 2016 Linda died after what Sir Tom described as a “short but fierce” battle with cancer.

He and model Katherine Berkery even had a child, Jonathan, though Sir Tom did not acknowledge him until a DNA test in 1989 proved he was the father.

For some time he did not speak about it, before publicly recognising his son in 2008.

Despite this, he and Linda had a long marriage and their son together is Sir Tom’s manager Mark Jones.

As for Priscilla, despite having had significant relationships since her divorce from Elvis, Priscilla was only married once, to The King, Elvis Presley.

Immediately after her divorce from Elvis, Priscilla lived with Mike Stone, the karate teacher with whom she had an affair, until 1975.

After this, she dated photographer Terry O’Neill and lawyer Robert Kardashian, late father of Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ stars Kim, Khloe and Kourtney.

Following this, she dated hairdresser Elie Ezerzer and financier Kirk Kerkorian, before moving in with male model Michael Edwards.

Priscilla’s longest relationship was, however with Marco Garibaldi, the screenwriter and computer programmer, with whom she had her second child, Navarone.

At this time she was starring in the soap Dallas, but after their break up in 2016, Presley began dating TV executive Nigel Lythgoe, before dating Richie Palmer in 2010, followed by Barry Crocker and Toby Anstis.
