A woman who is married to an Elvis impersonator has shared the downside to life with a “sex symbol” – the hordes of other women who shamelessly flirt with her man.
Jessica Allen fell for hubby Travis – better known as one of the top King of Rock tribute artists – after watching him before at a show in Vegas.
She clamoured for a smooch with him during the iconic hit ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ – an old performance trick of Elvis’ – and he immediately asked her on a date.
From there, the duo has gone from strength to strength, tying the knot and travelling together while he performs.
But marrying the hunk has come at a cost.
“Fans forget he’s not just Elvis on stage – he’s also someone’s husband in real life,” Jessica, originally from Zurich, but now based in Las Vegas, told Need To Know.
“I’m his wife, and sometimes it’s flattering, but also sometimes it’s a bit weird.
“Especially, when younger women flirt with him, touch him, or try to get his attention.
“There was one woman who just couldn’t stop touching him, and watching that wouldn’t be fun for anyone.
“You kind of learn to laugh about it, but on the other hand, it also makes me proud.
“I know he is handsome and amazing in what he does.
“So, I can’t blame the women.
“I just stand there thinking, ‘If only they knew I’m the one going home with him!’
“You just learn to live with it when you’re married to an Elvis impersonator.”
The couple met by chance in March 2024, when Jessica visited the US for a trip and went to Travis’ show, and decided to share a kiss.
She said: “I thought it was normal at these shows, but then I noticed he only kissed others on the cheek, and I totally freaked out because I thought I had crossed a line.
“I just wanted to go back to the hotel because I was scared he’d be uncomfortable, but my twin sister insisted we get a picture with him after the show.
“So we waited in line for the meet and greet, we took the pictures, and then he asked us if we wanted to grab a drink.”
After a fun evening together, Jessica accidentally left her wallet in his car, so they went back to the show the following night to get it back – and Travis asked for her number.
She said: “Looking back, it really feels like it was meant to be.
“If we hadn’t forgotten our things that night, we might never have reconnected.
“The next morning, I had to fly back to Switzerland, but then Travis invited me to Brazil for a weekend to spend time together and get to know each other.
“We just couldn’t help falling in love.”
They got engaged in August and married the following month in Vegas, before Jessica moved there in February this year to be with him full-time.
But while she fell for him as ‘Elvis’, Jessica insists their love is much deeper than just his career.
She said: “Some people assume I’m only attracted to him because he’s Elvis, which isn’t true at all.
“Travis is very calm and introverted in real life, the total opposite of his stage persona.
“But when he becomes Elvis, he transforms – it’s amazing to watch.
“He does put on a show for me, though, whenever I want, because I am an Elvis fan and simply love Elvis music.
“Having a partner that sings exactly like Elvis is just heaven!”
And it has reinforced her love for the iconic 70s singer, too.
She added: “I feel even more love for Elvis now because he’s the reason Travis and I found each other.
“I’ll never forget when we visited Elvis’s grave and sat there in silence for almost an hour, just reflecting and showing respect to the man who brought us together.
“I’ve always loved Elvis and rock and roll, and now it’s even more personal.”
