Is it even necessary to introduce Elvis Presley? Probably not, but here's a quick summary: the late singer and actor was widely considered as the King of Rock and Roll during his popularity in the 1950s and succeeding years, recording iconic hits such as "Love Me Tender," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Heartbreak Hotel." He married Priscilla Presley (née Wagner) in 1967, forming the twentieth century's poster pair. They divorced in 1973, but not before having their only child, Lisa Marie Presley.
53-year-old Lisa Marie has subsequently pursued a career as a singer-songwriter, following in her father's footsteps. She has published three albums in her career: "Now What", "Storm & Grace", and "To Whom It May Concern", experimenting with country rock and pop. Additionally, she is the mother of four children: Riley Keough, 32, and the late Benjamin Keough, whom she has with ex-husband Danny Keough; and twins Finley and Harper Lockwood, 13, whom she shares with another ex-husband, Michael Lockwood. Unexpectedly, her children bear an eerie likeness to their deceased grandfather.
On May 29, 1989, Riley, born to Lisa Marie and her first spouse Danny (they were married from 1988 to 1994), works as a model and actress. She has starred in several noteworthy films, including "Zola", "Mad Max: Fury Road", "The Lodge", and "Magic Mike". Riley has also experimented with television, appearing in shows like "The Girlfriend Experience" and "Riverdale". She will next appear in "Daisy Jones" and "The Six", a miniseries about the formation of a fictional rock band. Reese Witherspoon and her production firm, Hello Sunshine, will produce the series inspired by Fleetwood Mac. Riley has adorned the pages of Elle and Glamour UK, among other publications, and has featured in ads for Louis Vuitton and Dior. Since 2015, the actress has been married to Ben Smith-Petersen, a Hollywood stuntman.
Benjamin was Elvis' only grandson. He was born on October 21, 1992, to Lisa Marie and her first spouse Danny. He committed suicide on July 12, 2020, at the age of 27. Lisa Marie paid respects to her son on what would have been his 28th birthday last year and reflected on the "suffocating" pain. Benjamin featured in two productions before his death: "Elvis by the Presleys", a television film about his family, and the short "Rod & Barry". In 2012, Lisa Marie discussed her son's "uncanny" similarity to her late father, admitting that she occasionally feels "overwhelmed" when she looks at him. "He was at the Opry and was the still, little voice behind the stage," she explained to CMT. "When he was over there, everyone turned around and watched. Everybody wanted to photograph him because he is simply eerie. At times, I am overcome with emotion when I gaze at him."
Finley and Harper (full names Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood, respectively) are Elvis' youngest grandkids and fraternal twins. On October 7, 2008, they were born to Lisa Marie and her fourth spouse Michael (the two were married from 2006 until 2016). Finley and Harper feature on their mother's Instagram feed on a daily basis. Lisa Marie most recently uploaded a joyful photo with her three kids on the occasion of her 53rd birthday in February, in which she expressed gratitude for the good greetings.
