Riley Keough hopes to make Christmas ‘special’ for twin sisters

Riley Keough hopes to make Christmas “special” for younger sisters Finley and Harper following the death of Lisa Marie Presley earlier this year.

“They’re all going to Hawaii for Christmas,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of We weeklynoting that Keough, 34, has grown “closer and closer” to her 15-year-old twin sisters following the death of their mother.

“When Lisa Marie was alive, Riley didn’t get to spend as much time [with the twins] because of Lisa Marie’s [strained] relationship with their father, Michael [Lockwood]”, adds the insider. “But he sees what a good influence Riley is and is very supportive.”

Lisa Marie – the daughter of the late Elvis Presley and his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley – died in January at the age of 54 after cardiac arrest caused by a small intestinal obstruction, which occurred after gastric bypass surgery. She is survived by Priscilla, 78, and her children. Lisa Marie shared Keough and son Benjamin Keough with ex-husband Danny Keough. (Benjamin died by suicide in 2020 at age 27.) She also shared Finley and Harper, 15, with ex-husband Lockwood, 62.

In September, a separate source said Us that the twins strengthened their family bond after the death of their mother.

“The twins spend a lot of time with Riley and Priscilla on the weekends,” the insider said at the time. “They have always been close, but when Lisa Marie died, the twins’ father, Michael, took over the twins full-time as it was a big adjustment period for them.”

The insider went on to say that Keough has since taken on a “motherly role” with her younger sisters, especially after welcoming a child of her own. (Keough and husband Ben Smith-Petersen welcomed their daughter, Tupelo Storm, via surrogate in 2022.)

“Riley’s been through it too, so she’s helping [Harper and Finley,]shared the same source. “She got them tickets recently Taylor Swift and took them shopping.”

While Keough has undergone “grief counseling,” the twins have had “counseling,” the insider said. “The more time they spend with Riley, the better,” the source added.

Although Keough has a good relationship with the twins, there were still some disagreements in the family after Lisa Marie’s death. Keough was involved in a legal battle with Priscilla over Lisa Marie’s trust, which named her eldest daughter as the sole trustee. Us confirmed that Priscilla filed to contest the will.

The women were able to reach an agreement in May. Us confirmed that Keough would be the sole administrator of Lisa Marie’s estate and that the twins would be sub-administrators. Priscilla, meanwhile, received one lump sum payment of $1 million from the account.
