The Armenian-American attorney was also well-known for his involvement in the infamous O.J.
Simpson trial, in which he served as part of the defense team.
Here’s inside Robert Kardashian and Priscilla Presley’s fascinating relationship.
Priscilla’s divorce from Elvis Presley was finalized in 1973, but the two were still in contact.
Robert Kardashian was dating Kris Jenner his future wife on and off when he began dating Priscilla.
Sparks flew after Robert’s older brother, Tom Kardashian, introduced the pair.
Although there’s little information on their first meeting, we’re guessing it was intense from the start.
But though their relationship only lasted about a year, it was evidently quite serious.
“Priscilla made Robert very happy,” Migdal shared (per Page Six).
“He wanted to marry her and have children with her.
That was definitely his hope, his plan.”
As for Presley herself, it’s unclear whether she was as committed as Kardashian to long-term love.
Migdal told Oppenheimer that Presley liked Kardashian’s “magnetic personality” but not necessarily his looks.
“Robert wasn’t particularly attractive, but he was funny, personable, and very nice.
Pricilla liked that about him,” Migdal said (per theDaily Mail).
However, it seems that Tom Kardashian got over his jealousy pretty quickly.
What some may not realize is that their complex relationship continued years after the two divorced.
Even though Elvis was dating other women while Priscilla was dating Robert Kardashian, Elvis still called Priscilla frequently.
There’s even a name for this phenomenon: the chameleon effect.
To some, Priscilla Presley may sound more controlling than part of a chameleon-effect couple.
However, people who knew her and Robert Kardashian didn’t see her that way.
Kraines added that, despite her fame, she was also very down-to-earth.
“We went to football games, Sunday football games regularly.
We went to dinner.
And Kris was apparently jealous of Presley.
“She [Priscilla] was gorgeous, of course, petite and perfect and beautiful and famous.
And All Things Kardashian.”
Even her friends knew she was hurt by Robert Kardashian and Priscilla Presley’s relationship.
“She told me he was very funny, very charming, very classy, just rock solid.”
Fortunately for Jenner, in just a few short years, she’d have him back.
“She said that after that meal, he never suggested that she make dinner for him again.”
We’re guessing she wouldn’t have cooked for him again, even if he had asked.
Though Kardashian wanted to marry Presley, the feeling was not mutual.
Priscilla Presley, for better or for worse, has maintained an everlasting loyalty to Elvis Presley.
“To be honest with you, I never wanted to marry after him.
“I just don’t think that he could handle that.”
Fifty years later, Priscilla Presley has stayed true to her word.
Though she’s had several relationships since being with Elvis Presley, she has never remarried.
Elvis' calls and constant communication with Priscilla likely put quite a strain on the relationship.
Elvis' possessiveness got to Kardashian with Kraines adding, “Robert was very bothered by all of that.
This was especially evident in 2003 when Kardashian was faced with a sudden and unexpected battle with esophageal cancer.
Evidently, Presley was too.
Just a few months after he was diagnosed, Robert Kardashian died in September 2003.
