<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lisa-marie-presleys-daughter-riley-keough-finally-breaks-her-silence-a-week-after-moms-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Riley Keough</a>, daughter of the late <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lisa-marie-presleys-cause-of-death-revealed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Marie Presley</a>, revealed that she and husband Ben Smith-Peterson welcomed a child via surrogacy — after she made the decision to not carry the child amid her ongoing battle with Lyme disease.</p>
<p>The 34-year-old actress/model and granddaughter of actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/priscilla-presley-contests-amendment-to-late-daughters-will-lisa-marie-reportedly-cut-her-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Priscilla Presley</a> and the late Elvis Presley said she could potentially &#8220;carry children,&#8221; but with all with that her body was dealing with because of the &#8220;autoimmune stuff&#8221; she had decided against it, <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/08/riley-keough-on-growing-up-presley-cover-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a> reported.</p>
<p>Keough and her husband welcomed a daughter last year but the world didn&#8217;t even know about her birth until Keough gave an emotional eulogy at her mother&#8217;s funeral in January. At the time, fans were also unaware of the nature of her birth.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a very cool, selfless, and incredible act that these women do to help other people,&#8221; Riley said.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Riley Keough battled the debilitating symptoms of her Lyme disease diagnosis during the production of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DaisyJonesAndTheSix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DaisyJonesAndTheSix</a>, which her co-star Sam Claflin calls “miraculous.”</p>

<p>&#8220;I can carry children, but it felt like the best choice for what I had going on physically with the autoimmune stuff,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>In the same interview, the &#8220;Daisy Jones and the Six&#8221; actress talked about her daughter&#8217;s name Tupelo, which she said is a tribute to her late grandpa and King of Rock n&#8217; Roll.</p>
<p>She noted that Elvis&#8217;s birthplace in Mississippi, is actually Tupelo, which she said was a way to honor him without it being as &#8220;well-known&#8221; as something like Memphis.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was like, &#8216;This is great because it&#8217;s not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family — it&#8217;s not like Memphis or something,&#8221;&#8216; Riley said.</p>
<p>However, she admits that her plan was somewhat foiled after Baz Luhrmann&#8217;s Oscar nominated movie &#8220;Elvis&#8221; starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks came out in May 2022, because Elvis birthplace was mentioned throughout.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s funny because we picked her name before the Elvis movie,&#8221; Keough said. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;Oh, no.&#8217; But it&#8217;s fine.&#8221;</p>
<p>On January 12, Riley&#8217;s mom Lisa Marie died at the age of 54. She was later laid to rest at her father&#8217;s Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, next to Keough&#8217;s brother Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020.</p>
<p>Days later, Keough&#8217;s grandmother Priscilla <a href="https://people.com/riley-keough-pay-priscilla-presley-1-million-settle-trust-suit-7546818" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed court documents</a> disputing an amendment to her daughter&#8217;s will and control of the family&#8217;s trust.</p>
<p>In June, it was reported that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elvis-granddaughter-agrees-to-pay-grandmother-massive-sum-to-control-lisa-maries-trust" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Riley and Priscilla</a> had reached a settlement the month prior, though the details were kept secret at the time.</p>
<p>A source told People that Keough &#8220;doesn’t want any drama with her grandmother&#8221; and was happy to reach a mutually agreeable conclusion.</p>
<p>&#8220;Riley is relieved to have settled the dispute over her mom&#8217;s estate,&#8221; the source added. &#8220;She wants to focus on making memories with her own daughter now. This is her priority.&#8221;</p>
