Priscilla Presley has shut down speculation that she’s in love with her “Dallas” co-star Patrick Duffy.
During a Q&A event at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, on Saturday night, Presley, 78, set the record straight about the rumors.
“Now there’s this whole big thing out there that I love Patrick Duffy, and I’m reading this in a magazine that someone showed me yesterday,” she said while speaking about her career after her divorce from Elvis Presley in 1972.
Presley said that the recent “Dallas” cast reunion earlier this month fueled those rumors after she attended the event with Duffy, 75, and his partner, Linda Purl.
“I’m going, ‘This is unbelievable, really, this is so crazy,’” she said of the speculation.
“I hadn’t seen him in a long time, and it was a great reunion. Patrick told me how happy he was, and we talked to the audience and they had questions for us and that’s it.”
Duffy and Presley starred as high school sweethearts Bobby Ewing and Jenna Wade for six seasons of “Dallas” from 1983 to 1988.
Speaking in Dec. 2023, Duffy said that when the rocker’s ex-wife joined the cast, he was starstruck that he was going to be starring opposite “Elvis’s Priscilla.”
“It was unbelievable,” he said on the Behind the Velvet Rope podcast about shooting their first scene together.
“It was another one of those gifts that…you’re honored to receive in our business.”
Elsewhere at Saturday’s event, Presley opened up about life with the “Blue Suede Shoes” crooner.
“Every girl went after him. Whether he was going on tour or going to Palm Springs or Vegas, obviously I know there are other things going on as well … I mean the opportunities were there constantly,” she recalled.
“Even when he would go on the road in other states, they knew he was coming and they were making offers.”
“And don’t get me wrong. I’ve never not loved Elvis, like, to this day. He was an amazing human being,” she continued. “He had a big heart, but, unfortunately, he was Elvis Presley and every woman [and] every girl went after him. I can see being him, how he would take it.”
The actress was married to the late King of Rock and Roll from 1967 to 1973.
