Bebe Buell and Elvis Costello

In 1978 Bebe began a passionate but volatile affair with Elvis Costello, who was married at the time. The relationship ended within a year when Elvis decided to go back to his wife. The relationship continued on and off until 1984. Bebe explains: “Believe it or not, Elvis is one of the kindest, most considerate men I’ve ever met. He’s not surly, he’s just shy, and he’s had a hard time dealing with success. He was so used to being rejected that he didn’t know how to deal with people when they started to like him". “We were like a rock ‘n’ roll Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart – all mad love and respect, the debutante and the rock ‘n’ roll geek. Elvis treated me like a princess – breaking with him was the biggest hurt I’ve ever had.” In her book, Bebe claims to have aborted his child, and really regrets it.
