Her passing came just days after she appeared on the red carpet at the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards, where she praised Austin Butler's award-winning portrayal of her father in Elvis. While she will always be remembered as the daughter of the King of Rock and Roll, Lisa Marie was also a devoted mother. She welcomed four children over the course of her life: daughters Riley Keough and the late Benjamin Keough with her first husband, Danny Keough, and twin daughters Harper and Finley Lockwood with her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood.

Following her own death in 2023, her daughters became the heirs to Graceland, Elvis's iconic Memphis estate. At Lisa's public memorial service, it was also revealed that Riley had quietly welcomed her first child with her husband, Ben Smith-Peterson, making Lisa Marie a grandmother shortly before her passing.

(Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic) Riley Keough, born May 29, 1989, is Lisa Marie's first child with Danny. She grew up in the spotlight but has built an impressive career of her own in both modeling and acting. Riley made her runway debut in 2004 for Dolce & Gabbana and transitioned to acting in 2010 with The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. She went on to earn acclaim for roles in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), American Honey (2016), and Logan Lucky (2017), and she also appeared in a 2018 episode of Riverdale. In 2022, Riley expanded her career behind the camera, making her directorial debut with War Pony at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film won the Camera d'Or. "I'm very overwhelmed. I haven't really taken it all in yet," Riley told PEOPLE at the time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lisa Marie Presley (@lisampresley) Riley has often spoken about growing up between two very different worlds with her parents. "I grew up very privileged with my mother. But my dad didn't live like that," she told The Guardian in 2017, recalling time spent in cabins and trailer parks with her father. She said the contrast gave her balance: "My memories of growing up with him were so colorful and eccentric and fun." Back in 2007, Riley and her mother appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and explained that Riley was encouraged to explore her own likes and dislikes in an effort to be her own person outside of the famous family. "I didn't want her to have that shadow where she felt competition and intimidated by anything," Lisa Marie said. "I wanted [my children] to be able to do what they wanted to do."

"I think it's so important to be educated on conscious dying and death the way we educate ourselves on birth and conscious birthing," she wrote. "We prepare ourselves so rigorously for the entrance and have no preparation for our exit. So I'm so grateful for this community and to be able to contribute what I can." In her personal life, Riley married Australian stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen in 2015. "My husband is such a good person," wrote Riley in a 2022 essay for Vogue Australia. "He's calm and loyal and strong and sensitive. He's my best friend." Together, they quietly welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2022, a fact revealed during Lisa Marie's memorial service when Ben read Riley's tribute, which included a heartfelt note to her late mother. "I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters." Benjamin Keough View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lisa Marie Presley (@lisampresley) Benjamin Storm Presley Keough, born October 21, 1992, was Lisa Marie's only son and the grandson of Elvis Presley. Throughout his life, he was often compared to his legendary grandfather for his striking resemblance. "Ben does look so much like Elvis," Lisa told CMT in 2012. "He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage. Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny."
