Linda Thompson, former girlfriend of Elvis Presley, recently shared heartfelt memories of their relationship during the 1970s. A Memphis native and Miss Tennessee 1972, Linda met Elvis shortly after his divorce from Priscilla. Their romance quickly deepened, and she moved into Graceland, becoming a central figure in his life.

She was devastated by his death in 1977. Afterward, Linda found success in songwriting and television, but continues to honor Elvis’s legacy. A rare recording of them singing together recently resurfaced, offering a glimpse into their personal connection.

Linda’s reflections reveal a deeply human side of Elvis, showcasing a love story marked by devotion, struggle, and lasting impact beyond the spotlight.
