After three failed marriages, Lisa Marie Presley thought she found The One in Michael Lockwood, but their relationship resulted in a messy split and lengthy divorce.

Lisa Marie, the only daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, went public with Lockwood, the musical director on her album Now What, in 2005.

After a decade of marriage, Us Weekly confirmed Lisa Marie filed for divorce from Lockwood in June 2016 and two months later, she checked into rehab amid substance abuse issues.
