I have a sneaking suspicion Steve knew she was still seeing Elvis and that Elvis knew she was seeing Steve." Terrill revealed. Obviously, things became so tense between the 'King of Cool' and the 'King of Pop' that it started spilling over to Leigh.

"She knew Elvis would never give up other women," Terrill explained. The biographer further said, "She and Steve weren’t a great match. McQueen, equally, had some issues that Leigh could not see past. "After the American actress left them, Terrill couldn't ascertain whether Elvis and Steve looked past their differences. "I don’t know of Elvis and Steve meeting again after their relationships with Barbara ended." RELATED: Hollywood’s Star, Steve McQueen: His Faith And How It Impacted His Battle With Cancer
