At 78, the personal life of Priscilla Presley has intrigued fans and media alike. The whispers of romance blooming anew for the former “Dallas” star, particularly with Patrick Duffy , her co-star from the iconic show which spanned 1978-1991, have sparked curiosity and speculation. Addressing the rumors head-on, Presley took the opportunity during a Q&A session at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket to clarify her current relationship status and feelings about Duffy, who is 75.

The rumor mill began churning following a “Dallas” cast reunion at the Burbank Marriott Convention Center on March 1, an event that saw both Presley and Duffy in attendance. It was here, amidst the nostalgic reunion of old friends and colleagues, that speculation of a romantic rekindling between the two was ignited.

“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 shared, expressing her disbelief and amusement over the situation. Despite the widespread speculation, she made it clear that the notion of her dating again, especially with Duffy, was unfounded. “I’m going, ‘This is unbelievable, really, this is so crazy,'” she remarked, reflecting on the absurdity of the rumors.

At the heart of these rumors was a simple, albeit significant, reunion between old friends. “I hadn’t seen him in a long time, and it was a great reunion,” Presley noted, highlighting the genuine affection and respect she holds for Duffy. She recounted how Duffy shared his happiness with her, particularly regarding his relationship with Linda Purl, whom he is “in love with.” This encounter, coupled with their interaction with the audience, was misconstrued, leading to the unfounded dating rumors.
