Presley and Jackson divorce citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. Presley:
I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much … I became very ill and emotionally/spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying … He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together

You know it’s, it really makes your heart happy and that’s what really makes me feel like everything’s O.K..
