Heavy/ABC Priscilla Presley denies being in love with Patrick Duffy.

Season 6 “Dancing With the Stars” alum Priscilla Presley is denying being in love with a co-star. The ex-wife of the late Elvis Presley recently responded to rumors that she and Patrick Duffy are an item.

“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,” Presley said during a Q&A at her appearance at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut, according to People magazine.

“I’m going, ‘This is unbelievable, really, this is so crazy,'” she continued, adding, “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.”

Priscilla Presley was married to Elvis Presley from 1967 through 1973. She dated here and there over the course of the next decade before finding love with Marco Garibaldi in 1984. Although she and Garibaldi never married, the two were together until 2006.
