Elvis Priscilla Presley's Family in Photos: Lisa Marie, Riley Keough
If there was ever a man who needed no introduction, it's Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. But while you may be an Elvis expert, far less is known about the ex-wife and daughter he left behind, and the family they've raised since. The Presleys have lived fascinating lives, from ex-wife Priscilla and granddaughter Riley's involvement with the Church of Scientology to Lisa Marie Presley's four marriages (two to major celebs!). We're looking inside the family of Priscilla, from her exes to her kids (and grandkids!) While Priscilla is known as a charitable figure and actor now, she was a normal teenage girl when she met Elvis. The pair met when she was only 14 and he was 24, forming a romantic bond. It's, erm, hard to hear about their relationship once you learn more details (like how he called her 'Little One.') Despite this, the former Scientologist has blossomed into a successful, powerful woman in the industry who adores her ever-growing family. She's made sure her talented family is more than a rock and roll legacy. They're a family like any other, and a beautiful, blended, unique one at that. In honor of Priscilla's birthday today on May 24, here's a look inside her family. A version of this article was originally published in July 2020. More from SheKnows Elvis Presley's Ex-Wife, Daughter, & Granddaughter Shared a Red Carpet Moment at Graceland's Elvis Premiere Best of SheKnows Elizabeth Hurley & Billy Ray Cyrus, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years Yoko Ono's Daughter Kyoko, & 22 Surprising Celebrities That Were In or Linked to a Cult 7 Ways Chrissy Teigen Has Altered Her Appearance Over the Years: Plastic Surgery & More Priscilla Presley was married to Elvis Presley from 1967-1973, first meeting when she was only a child. They had their daughter Lisa Marie Presley on Feb. 1, 1968, exactly nine months after their wedding. Priscilla has had a long career as both an actress and a businesswoman. She helped monetize Elvis' Graceland estate and starred in the Naked Gun trilogy, as well as a recurring role on Dallas. She's also been linked to many men since Elvis' death, including Robert Kardashian, male model Michael Edwards, and restaurateur Richie Palmer. However, she was linked to screenwriter Marco Garibaldi the longest, with them living together for over twenty years and sharing a son named Navarone Garibaldi, born on March 1, 1987. She was also a dedicated member of the Church of Scientology for decades, only leaving when her daughter Lisa Marie turned against them in 2016, saying she was 'done.' The Church of Scientology has since reportedly declared both Priscilla and Lisa Marie 'suppressive persons' in response, and Priscilla's granddaughter Riley is urged to minimize contact. After Priscilla Presley's divorce from Elvis Presley, she went on to be linked to many stars. However, things got serious when she met Marco Garibaldi back in 1984 through a mutual friend. They were together for 22 years, living together for 21 of those years and even welcomed a son named Navarone Garibaldi in 1987. He was a producer and screenwriter who switched career paths and turned into a computer programmer, per Daily Mail. However, he and Priscilla split up in 2006. Lisa Marie Presley was born in Tennessee to Elvis and Priscilla Presley in 1968. When she was only nine years old, her father died and she became the sole inheritor of Graceland, worth an estimated $298 million in today's money. Over her career as a singer-songwriter, she released three albums: To Whom It May Concern, Now What, and Storm & Grace. Lisa Marie was married to four men for varying lengths of time: Danny Keough for four years, Michael Jackson for two years, Nicolas Cage for three months, and Michael Lockwood for a decade. She is the mother of four children. She and her ex-husband Keough welcomed two children named Riley and Benjamin. Lisa Marie also has twin girls named Finley Aaron Love and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood. Her personal life was often troubled, and she struggled with substance abuse and opioid addiction off and on for years starting in 2008. Her financial life was also complicated, and the star has an estimated net worth of negative $16 million after issues with her estate. She has sued former financial manager Barry Siegel and alleges that he mismanaged her funds. In 2020, Lisa Marie's son Benjamin died by suicide at age 27. She penned a poignant essay on grief for PEOPLE, writing, 'I keep going for my girls. I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind. He absolutely adored them and they him.' Sadly, Lisa Marie died on January 12 from cardiac arrest, per CNN. Loving tributes poured in, including one from John Travolta, which read: 'Lisa baby girl, I'm so sorry. I'll miss you but I know I'll see you again. My love and heart goes out to Riley, Priscilla, Harper and Finley.' Leah Remini wrote that she was 'heartbroken' over the untimely passing. 'Lisa did not have an easy life, as some might think,' the actress wrote. 'May she be at peace, resting with her son and father now.' Navarone Garibaldi is Priscilla Presley and Marco Garibaldi's only son, born March 1, 1987. Navarone's passion in life is music and he is the frontman of the band Them Guns, which he formed in 2013. Earlier in 2022, he married Elisa Achilli, whom he has a twelve-year age gap with, in a private ceremony in Switzerland, per Page Six. It's reported that the two have been together for around four years before tying the knot. Lisa Marie and Danny's daughter Danielle Riley Keough is a model and actress known for The Girlfriend Experience, Mad Max: Fury Road, Logan Lucky, and more. Born in California, the oldest grandchild of Elvis is married to stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, who runs a production company. She started modeling at 15 years old and going by her middle name Riley. Along with acting and modeling, she made her directorial debut in 2020 at the Cannes Film Festival. Despite mom Lisa Marie's exit from Scientology in 2016, she is believed to still be affiliated with the Church, along with dad Danny Keough. The Daisy Jones & The Six star married Ben Smith-Petersen in 2015, and welcomed a daughter in 2022. Benjamin Storm Keough passed away at age 27 at his Calabasas home in an apparent suicide. Known for keeping a low profile, Benjamin had a few acting credits and 2009 record deal, and was known to be close to mom Lisa Marie. He was also known for bearing a striking resemblance to dad Elvis. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), text 'STRENGTH' to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to Priscilla Presley's twin granddaughters Harper and Finley were born on Oct. 7, 2008, to their parents Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood. Their parents were locked in an ugly custody battle and drawn-out divorce. The twins were temporarily removed from their parents custody in 2020 after Presley alleged that Lockwood had child pornography on his computer, and Lockwood alleged that Presley's substance abuse issues put their children in harm's way. The twins were out of protective custody, and the divorce was finalized in 2021. After Lisa Marie passed away, they've been placed under their father's custody. Rare photos were published on May 2023 from their middle school graduation, and it showed that already, Finley looks like her mother's mini-me! Riley Keough, and her husband Ben Smith-Petersen have welcomed a daughter named Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen in Aug 2022, which would be Elvis' great-granddaughter. In a rare interview with Vanity Fair, Keough explained her daughter's name, 'I was like, 'This is great because it's not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family — it's not like Memphis or something.' It's funny because we picked her name before the Elvis movie.'

Priscilla Presley's Legal Battle ‘Dragging Her Down' as She Prepares to Celebrate Her 80th Birthday
Priscilla Presley is on the precipice of 80 and a source exclusively tells Closer she'll be celebrating the massive milestone alongside granddaughter Riley Keough and plenty of other extended family members of the Graceland clan, despite a dark cloud of legal woes threatening to rain on and ruin her special day. 'At this point, Riley just wants to spend as much time with Priscilla as she can,' the insider says. 'She's very aware that the time is ticking, and she feels lucky to still have her around and in such good health.' As Priscilla gears up to become an octogenarian on May 24, the source says her granddaughter is 'planning to spoil her for her birthday and make sure she knows how loved she is.' Last year, the former wife of Elvis donned a chic all-black look while out with friends for a swanky dinner at the Cipriani restaurant in California. At the time, Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC was attempting to foreclose and auction off pieces of Graceland, with Riley, 35, and her grandma fighting the mysterious investment firm tooth and nail in Tennessee courts. Ultimately, a judge ruled in favor of the Presley family, declaring the property was 'special' to the state and thus should not be partitioned. The Naked Gun star will unfortunately still be embroiled in a legal battle this year, but this time she's trying to reclaim up to $1 million from ex business associate and antique dealer Brigitte Kruse, alleging she's a "con artist and pathological liar" who "fraudulently induced" Elvis' ex into signing a deal that gave Kruse and partners 80 percent of her income. Kruse denied the accusation and countersued, claiming she actually helped improve Priscilla's financial position. The result is still pending, but the stress has already become real to the parties involved. 'Priscilla is fighting in court to get money back she says was stolen from her by a woman she foolishly trusted,' the insider says. While the legal fight rages on, its effects are far reaching and more than a little upsetting for both Priscilla and Riley. 'Just talking about it gets her so upset because she feels she was taken advantage of,' the source continues. 'They haven't gone to trial yet, but it's consuming a lot of her time and energy and dragging her down, so Riley is doing what she can to help her stay in a more positive headspace.' After the tragic death of Lisa Marie Presley in January 2023, the distribution of her estate quickly devolved into a civil dispute between Riley and her grandmother that would last until May of the same year, when they finally settled. The source notes that even though they had their own tiff, they're still close and Riley is 100 percent in Priscilla's corner regarding her suit against her former advisor. 'It's no secret that Riley and Priscilla had their own legal battle after Lisa Marie died, but it has all been worked out and there are no hard feelings.'

The Baltimore Ravens Spoofed ‘Severance' for Their Schedule Reveal. They Just Forgot to Make It Funny
I've been writing a lot lately about my lengthy Zoom with The Naked Gun! and Airplane! creator David Zucker. Our interview was ostensibly set up to discuss his upcoming web series MasterCrash, a more-sincere-than-usual sendup of MasterClass, and to provide space for him to gripe about being left out of Seth MacFarlane and Akiva Schaffer's new Naked Gun movie — a classic win-win media & PR collab! The residual impact has been how much I've since thought about parody, and how not everybody knows how to do it right. Time will tell if MacFarlane and Schaffer's take starring Liam Neeson as the new Lt. Frank Drebin, son of the old one (Leslie Nielsen), strikes the right tone. Considering the IP and talent attached — and even factoring in the talent not attached — Naked Gun (August 1, 2025) has a shot. The big Baltimore Ravens short film released this week, on the other hand, never gave itself much of a chance. More from The Hollywood Reporter Michael J. Fox Joins Apple's 'Shrinking' Season 3 in Guest Role As Shoppers Cut Back on Spending, Live TV Streaming Services Aim to Attract Subscribers with Up to 70 Percent Off 'Murderbot' Review: Alexander Skarsgard Is a Droll Delight as a Lethal Cyborg Who'd Rather Be Watching TV in Uneven Apple Series NFL schedule-reveals have officially become a thing. Major streamers, broadcasters and media companies (think: Netflix, Fox, Disney, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video) got to announce a game or two of theirs to television advertisers in attendance at their respective upfront events earlier this week, and the team-by-team schedule-reveals (brought to you by Seat Geek!) are turning into major Hollywood productions, often borrowing from major Hollywood productions. This year, the Kansas City Chiefs played Cash Cab, at least two teams did Minecraft, the Houston Texans parodied Scary Movie, the Los Angeles Rams went the Daily Show route and the New York Giants spoofed Love Island. The results are a mixed bag — but this story isn't about those videos. The first mistake the Ravens made was in the selection process. Baltimore went big for their reveal with a parody of Apple TV+ drama Severance — it's always ambitious to try to spoof the best show on television, especially when your cast is comprised of offensive linemen, football coaches and front-office personnel. While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, not all imitations flatter equally. And as they're already well aware of in Baltimore, if you come for the king (of TV), you best not miss. There are some good pieces in the execution of the video. Certain production elements, like the cinematography, are great. The baby goats as the team's draft picks who are are 'not ready yet' was a clever choice. And it's OK that the players can't act — Adam Scott can't protect Lamar Jackson's blindside — where the video went wrong was in the writing phase. The actual Severance premise here is unclear. Are the players severed so they don't leak the schedule? Maybe, or maybe I just retroactively invented an intention. Though there are maybe a handful of decent jokes, the video is seven minutes of setups and few punchlines. It's not enough to think 'it'd be funny to have our players and staff read these Severance lines.' A shot-for-shot remake is not comedy — unless, ironically, it's the ones Severance lead Scott did with Paul Rudd. Perhaps the Ravens should have brought on Severance writer/creator Dan Erickson and/or his partner on the project Ben Stiller as free agents, like how a team signs a player they've since traded away to a one-day contract so they can officially retire where it all began. Stiller seemed to appreciate the effort — Ravens Productions shot more than 200 hours and spent days editing — enough to retweet the video, at least. (And even if he didn't dig it, the only professional sports team that could possibly draw Stiller's ire this week is the Boston Celtics, who tonight will attempt to push the New York Knicks to an Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 7. Stiller will almost certainly be courtside for Game 6 at Madison Square Garden.) Look, maybe I'm wrong. I'm certainly biased here — and not just about the proper way to write comedy. I love the New York Giants probably as much as Stiller loves the New York Knickerbockers. Am I still a bit peeved at the Ravens for the absolute thrashing they put on my team in Super Bowl XXXV? Very much so. And as an early adopter of Severance, I may have overprotective tendencies about the series. Other people and publications dug the Severance spoof — as of this writing, the Ravens' reveal video had 9,000 likes on X and nearly 3,000 on YouTube (with 70,000 views). USA Today ranked it as the fourth-best schedule out of 32 NFL teams, 9to5Mac called it 'hilarious' and something called Motorcycle Sports (that clearly ventures beyond motorcycle sports) said it was 'epic.' But don't believe everything you read online — except for this opinion. Nevermore (do this), Ravens.

‘I soaked him in like a sponge' – Pamela Anderson says Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson is a ‘legend'
The Irishman plays the role of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr in the sequel, alongside Anderson who plays a woman named Beth in the film. The Naked Gun franchise began with the Police Squad! series in 1982 before it became a film franchise, famous for sending up cop drama tropes and ridiculous visual jokes led by the late Leslie Nielsen. Originally billed as a reboot, the sequel coming this summer and starring the Taken actor will instead serve as a continuation of the series as Neeson plays the son of Nielsen's famous character. Speaking about Neeson and working with him in a comedy movie, as opposed to one of his more familiar action roles, the former Baywatch actress said she had a hard time keeping a straight face at times. She also spoke about their relationship on set, saying Neeson was "mysterious', 'inspiring' and the 'true gentleman', a sentiment the 72-year-old Ballymena man previously shared last year when he admitted he was 'madly in love' with his co-star. Anderson also said Neeson was "electric in a way'. "Our chemistry was clear from the start,' Anderson told Entertainment Weekly. "We have the utmost respect for one another. "He is a legend and deserving of the title. "I also baked my sourdough bread for therapy and regularly shared with him, along with cookies and muffins. "We had many dinners out with the cast. "I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming. "I am in awe of him, his experience, and work ethic. ADVERTISEMENT "I soaked him in like a sponge.' The original Naked Gun movie raked in $152.4 million on a budget of $12 million. Rumours of another film had circulated since 2009, with reports stating that The Naked Gun: What 4? The Rhythm of Evil was in development, before being put on the back burner following the death of Nielsen in 2010. The return was confirmed by Paramount Pictures in 2013, but the project seemed to have been forgotten until October 2022 when the film was officially greenlit with The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer directing. Speaking about the movie, Anderson added: "It is the same depth of process for a high comedy as it is for a drama. "I worked hard on the role, another cathartic experience. Every film, it seems, tackles a deep-seated issue that needs to be expressed and surfaced in ways other than anything else. "I'm hoping people love it. We had so much fun making it. I think it's timely for a beloved comedy like this. I'm a fan of the originals. As Liam says: 'We could all use a good giggle.' I pray we do more.'
