Riley Keough says late mom Lisa Marie Presley sends her 'weird signs'
Riley Keough shared that she has been receiving mysterious signs from her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley. These experiences, she said, help her feel connected to her mother and bring comfort amid personal loss and family tensions.
Lisa Marie Presley's passing and family
Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, died suddenly at 54 in January 2023 due to complications from bariatric surgery that led to a small bowel obstruction. She was mother to three children: Riley, 36, from her marriage to Danny Keough, and twin daughters Harper and Finley, now 17, from her marriage to Michael Lockwood. She was also mourning her late son, Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020 at age 27.
Aftermath and legal battles
Following Lisa Marie’s death, a high-profile legal dispute arose between Riley and her grandmother Priscilla over control of the Presley estate. Though the case was ultimately resolved, Priscilla later became involved in further financial conflicts with former advisers, including allegations that she had acted prematurely in decisions regarding her daughter’s care.
Spiritual connection and new release
“Sometimes my mom sends me weird signs,” Riley remarked, noting that these moments remind her of her mother’s presence and guidance.
As she releases the paperback edition of her memoir From Here to the Great Unknown, Riley said she feels her mother’s spirit continue to watch over her.
