Lisa Marie Presley’s husband is having a phantom pregnancy.
Lisa Marie Presley’s husband is having a phantom pregnancy.
The 40-year-old star – who is rumoured to be expecting twins with music producer Michael Lockwood – says while she is finding her pregnancy easy, her spouse is suffering.
She said: “He has all my symptoms. He feels like his belly is getting big, and he has the same appetite I have. He’s having reflux and was nauseous the other day. It’s funny.”
A phantom pregnancy in men is also known as Couvade Syndrome and fathers-to-be can suffer from morning sickness, cramps, back pain, cravings and swollen stomachs.
Lisa Marie – the daughter of late music legend Elvis Presley – says she is only craving fruit. She said: “Fruit – it’s boring but that’s what I want. Any fruit – fruit smoothie, fruit juice – it’s good!”
Lisa Marie – who already has two children, 18-year-old daughter Danielle and son Benjamin, 15, from her first marriage to musician Danny Keough – hopes the older kids will help her once the baby arrives.
She added: “Oh yeah, they will. I’ll be at the bar, and they’ll be home baby-sitting. Just kidding!”
