Nancy Sinatra revealed intimate details of her relationship with Elvis Presley
In an Instagram post, Nancy Sinatra revealed intimate details of her relationship with Elvis Presley. The singer and actor confessed he had “dreamy” eyes on the social media site.
“It was so easy to get lost in his dreamy eyes. It was so easy to be silly with him,” she began.
“It was so easy to feel at home in his arms. So much sadness and regret. He was so easy to love,” Sinatra concluded.
Sinatra and Presley worked together on Speedway. This launched a long friendship.
She said they discussed all types of topics together. To People Magazine, she said, “I know he was the funniest man and probably the most serious man I knew, both people in one. He made me laugh so hard. And at the same time, he would call me late at night to discuss things like the ghetto and his concern for people in the ghetto.”
Did Nancy Sinatra’s relationship with Elvis Presley turn romantic?
While it was never confirmed if Nancy Sinatra and Elvis Presley had an off-camera relationship, the two appeared to have a flirtatious friendship. They first met in 1960.
Sinatra was just 19 when she was on hand to greet Presley at New Jersey’s Fort Dix after he returned from Germany following his discharge from the military. Presley’s first television appearance after the end of his military service was going to be on Frank Sinatra’s show, so Sinatra sent his daughter to greet the entertainer.
Eight years later, they would star in Speedway together. However, although there was plenty of flirting, Sinatra didn’t pursue the relationship further.
“We couldn’t do anything about it because he was married, and Priscilla was about to have Lisa Marie, but oh, my God!” Sinatra said to Hot Press. “It was electric, and I think he probably had that effect on every woman. Maybe even some men, I don’t know!”
