Priscilla Presley does not actually have burning love for her former co-star, Patrick Duffy. 

The actress and famed former wife of Elvis Presley recently shut down a budding rumor that she’s in love with her former Dallas colleague, who played Bobby Ewing opposite her Jenna Wade, Ewing’s childhood sweetheart, on the long-running CBS soap opera. 

“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,” she said during a Q&A event at the Foxwoods Resort Casino on Saturday night, per People. 

“I’m going, ‘This is unbelievable, really, this is so crazy,'” the 78-year-old mother of the late Lisa Marie Presley elaborated. 

While Presley did not specify further about the magazine story, she cited them recently crossing paths at a Dallas cast reunion earlier this month as what may have spurred the gossip. However, Presley noted that Duffy attended the event with his partner, Happy Days and Matlock actress Linda Purl, who Presley said Duffy is “in love with.”

“I hadn’t seen him in a long time, and it was a great reunion,” she noted. “Patrick told me how happy he was, and we talked to the audience and they had questions for us and that’s it.”

Meanwhile, Duffy and Purl have been sharing glimpses of their life together on social media for years, including their bread-baking business, Duffy’s Dough. They ran into each other at an event in 2019 and connected over a mutual friend, more than two years after Duffy’s longtime wife, Carlyn Rosser, died. They ended up falling in love over video calls during the COVID-19 pandemic.
