Lisa Marie Presley's Children: Ages, Careers, Fathers, and Everything to Know
By Robert Thorne
Lisa Marie Presley always asserted that her primary purpose was motherhood rather than her music career. Her first two children arrived during her early twenties with musician Danny Keough, providing an anchor during years of intense tabloid scrutiny. Riley Keough, born in 1989, carved out an independent Hollywood career before inheriting the family business. She avoided trading solely on the Presley name, earning critical acclaim in films like Zola and Mad Max: Fury Road before securing Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for Daisy Jones & The Six.
Her second child, Benjamin Storm Presley Keough, born in 1992, bore an uncanny physical resemblance to his grandfather Elvis. Benjamin struggled under the dual weight of family expectations and mental health challenges. An aspiring musician who signed a modest record deal in his late teens, he kept a low public profile. His death by suicide in July 2020 at age 27 devastated Lisa Marie, initiating a period of profound grief that reshaped her final years. He was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden at Graceland alongside Elvis.
Sixteen years after Benjamin’s birth, Lisa Marie expanded her family with her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood. Fraternal twins Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood were born in October 2008. Kept largely out of the spotlight during their elementary school years, the twins grew up in California, often attending Graceland commemoration ceremonies with their mother. Following Lisa Marie’s passing, both teenagers remained in California with their father, supported by structured visitations and estate arrangements managed by Riley.
