Priscilla Presley’s Lesser-Known Son Breaks His Silence

They were one of the most iconic couples in the world. When rock legend Elvis Presley married Priscilla, many fans likely sighed in disappointment. Thousands, perhaps even millions, had dreamed of winning Elvis’ heart.

During their marriage, Elvis and Priscilla Presley had a daughter, Lisa Marie. After their separation, Priscilla had another child. Recently, this lesser-known son has stepped into the public eye…

Did you know that Priscilla also has a son, Navarone, with businessman Marco Garibaldi? Navarone has often been overlooked amid the drama and tragedy surrounding his late half-sister, Lisa Marie, who passed away in February 2023.

Growing up, Navarone stayed out of the spotlight and has never reached the same level of fame as Lisa Marie. However, he has occasionally appeared on his mother’s social media, showcasing their strong bond.

Today, 36-year-old Navarone is an avid reptile enthusiast who collects pythons. He also has a keen interest in music and makes his living as a rock artist with his band, “Them Guns.”

Navarone was born to Priscilla Presley and Marco Garibaldi on March 1, 1987, in Santa Monica, California.

Marco Garibaldi was Priscilla’s second serious relationship, and they were together for two decades. During their relationship, Priscilla chose not to play Elvis’s music in their home.

“I think my dad had a bit of a complex about it,” Navarone shared with People magazine, and elaborated:

“It wasn’t until after he left that my mom started playing his music again freely.”

Navarone grew up in Los Angeles but moved to Santa Cruz at the age of 18. During his teenage years, he faced challenges with various substances. In an interview with People, Navarone disclosed that he required fentanyl “every 45 minutes” during his younger years.

As his mother was the former wife of Elvis Presley, there was a buzz about Navarone – the media scrutiny probably took a toll on him.

”I got in trouble more than everybody else, because kids’ parents would find out who my mom was, and they’d want a reason to talk to her,” he told People. ”I wasn’t very comfortable with it.” Thankfully, the 36-year-old musician got clean from hard drugs in 2020.

Lately, there has been a lot of positive happening in Navarone’s life – he married his Swiss girlfriend Elisa in 2022. The couple tied the knot at a hotel in Konolfingen, Switzerland. ”I never thought I would find a counterpart that is so understanding and supportive,” the frontman of Them Guns told PEOPLE last year. ”She makes everything we do effortless, and I can’t imagine life without her.”

Priscilla Presley was, of course, among the guest, and she was very happy to see her son marrying the love of his life.

”They’ve been together for four years and we’ve all have been waiting patiently for this day,” she told People.

Sadly, the last month has been rough for everyone close to the Presley family. Navarone was, like most of us, devasted when he found out about Lisa Marie’s death in February 2022.

The day after she died, he posted a photo of them together.

”Big sister… i hope you are now at peace and happy with your Dad and your son by your side. I know the past couple years weren’t easy for you, and I wish things had been different between us. regardless, you are my sister and I’m sending love and prayers for your journey home,” Navarone wrote.

According to Navarone, he wasn’t very close to his big sister. But he was present at Lisa’s memorial service at Graceland.

We send our thoughts to Navarone during this challenging time! Losing a family member is always hard! Hopefully, this talented man can stay drug-free for the rest of his life and enjoy a happy life with his beautiful wife!
