Elvis Presley’s Children and Grandchildren – Where Are They Now?

Elvis Presley is a name to be reckoned with across America and arguably, the world. He is known as one of the greatest cultural musicians of all time, as well as the king of rock n roll. He began his musical career in 1954, until his death by an untimely death in 1977 at age 42.

Presley received several awards for his efforts – most of them posthumously – attesting to the impact he had on the American cultural music scene in the short and long term. Elvis Presley has been named the best-selling solo artist of all time in recorded music. He married Priscilla Presley, a marriage that only lasted six years and, as expected, he has children and grandchildren. Learn more about the king and his descendants.

Elvis Presley Biography

Elvis was born Elvis Aaron Presley in Tupelo County, Mississippi to Vernon Elvis Presley and Gladys Love Smith. He was born a twin on January 8, 1935, but Jesse Garon, his older twin (35 minutes apart), was stillborn. The singer came from a very poor background, as his parents could barely support their family and had to rely on help from the government and their neighbors.

He grew up attending the Assemblies of God church and was fascinated by the choir there. Elvis had German ancestry from his father and Scottish lineage from his mother. His family went through a lot of hardship growing up, including losing their home in 1938, which came with an eight-month jail term for his father.

All Their Financial Problems Would End When their son rose to musical fame in 1954, Elvis graduated from LC Humes High School when his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee.

Elvis Persley began music as a church boy and often sang in the church choir. He then started singing at school where his teacher told him he had no future in music. Officially, his musical career began in 1954, when he released two singles, titled C’est d’accord and Kentucky’s Blue Moon under Sun Records. Like most grass-to-grace stories, both of these singles were a hit and soon many labels were talking about signing the next star. It was later picked up by RCA Records in 1955.

Prior to his death, Presley had released over 23 albums, most of which were huge hits. His musical career spanned more than two decades and turned into movies. He has starred in over 30 movies and films and also sung the accompanying soundtracks in most of them. During his lifetime and beyond, Elvis was bestowed with a plethora of accolades, including a posthumous award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018 from US President Donald Trump.

Among his many accomplishments are the most songs reaching the Billboard top 40, three Grammy Awards, the world’s top solo artist, even to death, to name a few.

Elvis Presley married Priscilla Ann Wagner. The couple remained together for six years before divorcing. They met in Germany in 1959 and were 7 years old before marrying on May 1, 1967. Their marriage was plagued by extramarital affairs and was destined to fall apart – which it did. When Elvis met Priscilla, she was an actress and a businesswoman – which she still is today. Her marriage to Elvis Presley gave birth to a child, Lisa Marie Presley, who is the famous singer’s only known child.
