Question: Did Elvis Presley Have Brothers or Sisters?
Answer: Elvis had an identical twin, Jesse Garon, that died at birth. Elvis had no other siblings and grew up as an only child.

Not quite a year after Gladys Presley's (Elvis' mother) death, however, Vernon Presley (Elvis' father) was remarried to a woman named Davada "Dee" Stanley. Dee had three sons from her first marriage. Elvis was considerably older than the three Stanley boys and became something of a father-figure to them. In later years, Bill, David, and Rick Stanley became part of the "Memphis Mafia," acting as aides and confidants to Elvis.
