Hey there, friends. Closer Weekly has exclusively uncovered that Priscilla Presley's stepfather, Paul Beaulieu, has passed away. Let me break this down for you: Paul Beaulieu, who became Priscilla's stepfather when she was just three years old, passed away peacefully at the Brentwood, CA home that Elvis Presley gifted him. The time was 1 p.m. on Thursday, January 4, due to kidney failure. According to a trusted source, Paul had been battling declining health for several years. This is a deeply personal and emotional time for the Presley family.
As we delve deeper into the story, an insider has shared that Paul Beaulieu will not be laid to rest in Virginia’s Arlington National Cemetery as some might have expected. Instead, it’s believed that he will be interred at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Los Angeles. Funeral services for Paul are anticipated to occur sometime next week in Santa Monica, CA. The gathering is expected to be attended by many cherished members of Priscilla’s family, including her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, and granddaughter, Riley Keough. The family has requested privacy during this difficult period, aiming to keep the news of Paul’s passing as quiet as possible to avoid unnecessary attention from the press.

Priscilla’s Journey: From Germany to the World Stage
Recently, in an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, Priscilla opened up about her unforgettable first meeting with her future husband, Elvis Presley, back in 1959. At just 14 years old, Priscilla was living with her family in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her stepfather, Paul, served as an Air Force officer. Meanwhile, Elvis was stationed there as an Army sergeant. This marked the beginning of a legendary love story that would capture the hearts of millions worldwide.

Priscilla recalled the moment vividly, saying, “I’ll never forget it.” She also mentioned that her stepfather wasn’t thrilled about her dating Elvis initially. “My father said, ‘Absolutely not!’ My mother said, ‘I won’t let you walk across the street to see Elvis Presley!’ I knew this was going to be a battle.” When Elvis wanted to see Priscilla again, she remembered that her father “interrogated” her. “He wanted to know, ‘What happened the first night? Why does he want to see you again?’” Priscilla then revealed that Elvis came to her house dressed to impress in full uniform. “He came absolutely decked out in white gloves, hat, everything! Already he won my father over! They talked for an hour and a half,” she said. Our thoughts are with Priscilla and her family as they mourn the loss of Paul.
