Exclusive Pictures: Riley Keough and her daughter Tupelo grab lunch at Erewhon in LA with her father Danny Keough
Riley Keough and her daughter Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen reunited with her father Danny Keough for a casual lunch outside upscale grocery store Erewhon Market in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old Emmy nominee put her 22-month-old toddler in her lap as she caught up with the 59-year-old ex-bass player and another gentleman.
Riley (born Danielle) later carried little Tupelo – named after her grandfather Elvis Presley’s birth place – while dressed down in a beige bucket hat, matching straw bag, grey T-shirt, denim cut-offs, and black sandals.
Danny met the Under the Bridge producer-star’s late mother Lisa Marie Presley in 1985 and became the first of her four ex-husbands, whom she divorced in 1994 (20 days before marrying Michael Jackson) after five years of wedded bliss.
Despite their split, Keough went on to co-write two songs – Better Beware and Sinking In – on Presley’s debut studio album To Whom It May Concern in 2003.
Lisa Marie was only 54 years old when she passed away on January 12, 2023 from ‘small bowel obstruction’ as a result of bariatric surgery, and over 30ft of her small intestine was already dead before she was rushed to the hospital.
‘Recent studies have shown that if you’re on Ozempic-type [semaglutide injectable] drugs, they can slow down you intestines,’ plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow theorized to TMZ Live last year.
‘They can predispose you to intestinal obstruction and there may be the perfect unfortunate storm of previous surgery with intestinal scarring and opioid use, so you can’t tell that you’re that sick.’
However, the 65-year-old Botched star cautioned: ‘Now I don’t know that she was on that.’
Presley never got over the death of her and Danny’s son Benjamin Keough, at age 27, in 2020 from a self-inflicted shotgun wound inside her former $1.8M Calabasas mansion.
Last Tuesday, Riley unveiled the cover and title of her mother’s 272-page autobiography From Here to the Great Unknown, which Random House will publish on October 15.
The Camera D’Or winner co-wrote the memoir and narrated the audiobook, which will also include ‘never-before-heard recollections’ from her mother’s own voice.
‘Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley was never truly understood… until now,’ the official synopsis read.
‘Before her death in 2023, she’d been working on a raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir for years, recording countless hours of breathtakingly vulnerable tape, which has finally been put on the page by her daughter, Riley Keough.’
Last year, Riley paid a $1M settlement and $400K in legal fees to her grandmother Priscilla Presley so she could legally became the sole trustee of Lisa Marie’s estate as well as the sub-trusts belonging to her 15-year-old half-sisters Finley and Harper Lockwood.
The flame-haired 79-year-old is scheduled to host An Evening with Priscilla Presley this Saturday at the Mooresville Performing Arts Center in Mooresville, NC.
Meanwhile, Keough has been hard at work in Italy filming Noah Baumbach’s coming-of-age Netflix movie – rumored to be titled ‘Jay Kelly’ – alongside George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Greta Gerwig, Emily Mortimer, Laura Dern, and Billy Crudup.
The LA-born heiress welcomed little Tupelo via surrogate with her husband of nine years, SAG Award-winning stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen.
Riley originally met the Australian 32-year-old in 2012 on the sandy set of Mad Max: Fury Road, and he reprised his role as Ace Warboy in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga this year.
