Early life and education
Now 78, Priscilla Ann Wagner was born on May 24, 1945, at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital in New York City.
Her mother, Ann Wagner, gave birth to her when she was just 19 years old. Priscilla’s biological father, James Frederick Wagner, was a US Navy pilot who tragically died in a plane crash when she was just six months old.
In 1948, Ann married Paul Beaulieu, a United States Air Force officer from Quebec, Canada. Priscilla took the Beaulieu surname and grew up with her stepfather and half-siblings, Donald, Michelle, Jeffrey, and twins Thomas and Timothy.
Her family moved frequently because her stepfather was in the Air Force, forcing Priscilla to adapt to a life of constantly moving from base to base.

They married on May 1, 1967, and had a daughter named Lisa Marie Presley on February 1, 1968. However, their marriage was troubled and they separated in 1972 before divorcing in 1973.
Since then, Priscilla has had several romantic relationships, including a long-term relationship with Marco Garibaldi, with whom she had a son named Navarone Garibaldi.
