Lisa Marie Presley’s Best Quotes About Motherhood
Speaking fondly of her family! Lisa Marie Presley became a mom in 1989 and was open about raising her kids in the years that followed.
Three years after the singer and then-husband Danny Keough‘s daughter, Riley, arrived, their son, Benjamin, was born. Presley went on to welcome twins, Harper and Finley, in 2008 with Michael Lockwood.
In 2012, the Tennessee native opened up about Benjamin’s resemblance to her father, Elvis Presley. “He was at the [Grand Old] Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage!” she told CMT at the time. “Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny. Sometimes I am overwhelmed when I look at him.”
When asked about Benjamin’s musical aspirations the following year, Lisa told Huffington Post: “He’s doing his own thing right now. I’m going to let him decide when he wants to go out and do what he wants to do.”
Benjamin died in July 2020 in Calabasas, California, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Deputies were called to the house regarding a “rescue response” call and found Keough “suffering from one gunshot wound to the upper torso,” the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department said in a press release. He was pronounced dead at the scene and an investigation is ongoing.”
Lisa Marie’s rep, Roger Widynowski, told Us Weekly in a statement at the time: “She is entirely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
The Florida native was an actor and musician. In 2009, he scored a five-album record deal with Universal worth $5 million, noting in an interview at the time that his music “would be nothing like Elvis, nothing like him at all.”
Us confirmed in January 2023 that Lisa Marie passed away at age 54. Priscilla announced the news hours after she went into cardiac arrest.

“I am very protective,” she told Healthy Living magazine. “I just smother them in love and I am also ferociously protective. They are my priority. That’s what I do. That’s what I care most about. I keep them close to me and make sure they are happy and healthy.”
Lisa added at the time: “When they get older sometimes I don’t think it ever ends. When they get past 18 I think their problems just get bigger to be honest; that’s always a struggle. We all kind of hold each other up; we are all each other’s best friends. I’m theirs but I am also their mother.”
