Despite being the King of Pop and having millions of women falling at his feet, Michael Jackson apparently didn't have as many notches on his bedpost as people might have thought.
He may have sung about wanting to 'rock with' a special someone when he was just 21 years old, but according to his late ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, he didn't get lucky for another 14 years.
For those who need a refresher on celebrity trivia, Jackson was married to Elvis Presley's daughter before he later got hitched to Debbie Rowe, who he shared his children Paris and Prince with.

The couple had quite the whirlwind romance and tied the knot in 1994, just months after they began dating.
And in Presley’s posthumous memoir, titled From Here To The Great Unknown, the juicy details of their relationship have now been revealed.
Her daughter Riley Keough had to finish off the 'raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind' book using recordings the singer had made prior to her sudden death in January last year at the age of 54.
Discussing her mother's intentions with the memoir, Keough, 35, told PEOPLE: "Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected.

"What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.
"To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatised, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life.
"I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive."

In the memoir, Presley explains that Jackson declared his love for her during a trip to Las Vegas while she was still married to her husband Danny Keough, who she wed in 1988 and shared kids Riley and Benjamin with.
Excerpts from the book - which was released today (8 October) - detail how the moonwalking music legend won her over, while Presley also delves into Jackson's alleged body count - or lack thereof.
One section reads: "Michael said, 'I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children'.
"I didn’t say anything immediately, but then I said, ‘I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk'. By then, I felt I was in love with him too."

After Jackson confessed his adoration for her, Presley then split with Keough amicably and got together with the King of Pop - when he was 35 and she was 25.
In the book, she claims that her new fella then informed her he 'was still a virgin' after they made things official.
Presley alleged: "I think he had kissed Tatum O'Neal, and he'd had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn't been physical apart from a kiss.

"He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened. I was terrified because I didn't want to make the wrong move."
Despite apparently being the one to pop his cherry, it wasn't meant to be for these two, and ultimately, Jackson and Presley were only married for two years before they finalised their divorce in August 1996.
The 'Beat It' hitmaker passed away aged 50 in 2009 after suffering a cardiac arrest, while Presley, 54, died in January 2023 due to a small bowel obstruction which was the result of a bariatric surgery she underwent several years ago.
