The National Enquirer has a new article this week that shows that homewreckers come in all ages and packages – from the young and nubile to the surgically ageless and calculating. Priscilla Presley, 63, is said to be in an adulterous relationship with English producer and choreographer Nigel Lythgoe, 59, best known in the US as a judge on the talent show “So You Think You Can Dance.” Priscilla’s new boyfriend is also an executive producer of “American Idol.” Nigel is said to be torn between Priscilla and his wife of 34 years, with whom he has two adult sons. Nigel and his wife won’t reconcile if Priscilla has any say in it though:
For more than a year, Priscilla has been in an on-and-off romance with “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Nigel Lythgoe. Nigel’s estranged wife has been fighting to win him back, and at times he has indicated that he’s open to a reconciliation.
Now it is as if Priscilla has a message for her boyfriend’s estranged wife Bonnie: “I’ve got him.”
Priscilla recently told a pal: “He’s not going back to his wife.”
Priscilla… kept [their] relationship low profile until recently. On August 3, she took [Nigel] to daughter Lisa Marie’s baby shower in Los Angeles and introduced him as her new boyfriend, said the pal.
“Up until that time, they had tried to keep the romance a secret because Nigel was torn between Priscilla and Bonnie,” the friend said.
Nigel and Bonnie, who have two sons together, separated early last year, not long after he met Priscilla at a charity fundraiser at her Los Angeles home on October 6, 2006. It was just months after Priscilla had split with her boyfriend of 22 years, Marco Garibaldi.

Priscilla Presley was a contestant on “Dancing With The Stars” – not the show that Lythgoe works on, this spring and was eliminated in the fifth episode.
TMZ reported in late July that Priscilla and Nigel were seen making out at a restaurant in LA.
The way The Enquirer tells it Priscilla was instrumental in breaking up Nigel’s long marriage. It’s possible she was just around at the right time, though, kind of like Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty.
