A Complete Look At Lisa Marie Presley's Dating History
Despite their intense connection (or perhaps because of it), Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage's relationship was highly volatile. The pair were reported to have explosive arguments. One of their fights on a yacht culminated in Presley throwing her $65,000 six-carat yellow diamond engagement ring into the ocean. They called for divers to attempt to find the ring, but it was never recovered (via The Mirror).
Speaking to ABC about their rocky relationship, Presley compared them to another famous Hollywood couple. "We are like the new millennium version of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor at this point. I mean we are going to knock each other off," she said. After one of their fights, Cage filed for divorce. "The most upsetting thing," she said, "was when he called to say he was sorry, wish he hadn't done it, things like that ... You can't have a temper tantrum and then call me four days later and expect, you know, everything to be fine again." That was in 2002, after 107 days of marriage, though the divorce wasn't finalized until 2004 (via Us Weekly).
Following Presley's death, her ex-husband Cage shared his heartbreak with Entertainment Weekly. "This is devastating news," Cage said. "Lisa had the greatest laugh of anyone I ever met. She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken. I find some solace believing she is reunited with her son Benjamin."
