Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, died on January 12, 2023, at the age of 54 after suffering cardiac arrest. 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.
In July 2020, Lisa’s only son Benjamin died by suicide at the age of 27, a loss she described as “shattering.” 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.

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.
