Recalling the time when they were dating, she shared,"I met him at such a young age I didn't have time to think about life yet."

She adds, "Even when dating him, I'd think, 'What am I going to do? I don't want to be a nurse. I don't want to be a teacher. I don't want to be a secretary. What can do?' Other things happened, and I love every moment."

There have been rumours about Elvis being alive, suggesting that he faked his death to escape the pressures of fame. Over the years, many different claims about the singer have circulated; some have said that he was connected to the mafia, others say he was an undercover agent.
