According to a new revelation by Jackson biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli, the real love of Michael Jackson’s life was his first wife, Lisa Marie Presley. Though the King of Pop went on to have close relationships with more than one woman, Lisa Marie was the real force that made him tick.
In his newly-updated book, ‘Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story,’ J. Randy Taraborrelli has revealed that Jackson wanted her to have his children, but Presley resisted, feeling the marriage wasn’t strong enough and fearing a custody fight if they were to divorce, which they did. Presley was married to the King of Pop for 20 months following their 1994 wedding, reports CBS News.
Taraborrelli also reveals that Jackson never intended to marry Debbie Rowe and only did under pressure from his family and fans. He only meant for Rowe to be the surrogate mother of his children.
Taraborrelli, whose book is considered by many as the definitive biography of the pop icon, made the revelation on “The Early Show” Monday. Taraborrelli first met Jacko when he was just a budding 10-year-old and went on to become one of Jacko’s closest friends.
