Riley Keough Today: Becoming a Mother While Losing Her Own

She became a mother in secret in 2022. Months later, her own mother was gone, and only Riley Keough could finish the story Lisa Marie Presley had left behind. As a little girl she spent part of her childhood around Neverland, when her mother was married to Michael Jackson. Today she is 37, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, and one of the most private people in a family that never had much privacy. This is the story of the last few years she lived almost entirely out of view: the loss of her brother Benjamin in 2020, the sudden death of her mother in January 2023, and the newborn daughter she was raising through all of it. We follow how she sat with her mother's recordings for months to complete the memoir From Here to the Great Unknown, published in 2024, and why she now guards Graceland, the family archive and her daughter's childhood so carefully. If quiet, careful stories about the real people behind famous names are what you enjoy, subscribe to the channel for more.
