Elvis Presley’s Granddaughter Riley Keough Snaps Rare Photo With Husband Ben Smith-Petersen
The couple recently flew to France for a special appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
Riley Keough gave her fans a small glimpse inside her personal life with husband Ben Smith-Petersen with her latest social media post. While recapping her recent appearance and ethereal performance at the Chanel fashion show as part of Paris Fashion Week, the Daisy Jones & the Six actress shared an Instagram photo that featured her husband of nearly 10 years, who tends to keep a lower profile.
Along with several other pics from the show, Riley, 35, could be seen cozying up to her hubby while the duo was sitting on a sofa backstage. Ben, an Australian stuntman, appeared to have his arm wrapped around his wife’s back while he looked off to the side of the cameras.

Riley, a granddaughter to Elvis Presley and the oldest living child of the late Lisa Marie Presley, met Ben back in 2012 while filming Mad Max: Fury Road.
They began dating a year later, and tied the knot in 2015. Since then, the couple has welcomed their first child, a daughter, Tupelo Storm, who was born via surrogate in 2022. Riley, who opted for surrogacy as a result of her battle with Lyme disease, chose her daughter’s name in honor of her grandfather, as the music icon was born in Tupelo, Miss.
Tupelo’s middle name, Storm, is also a tribute to one of Riley’s family members: her brother, Benjamin Keough, who tragically died in July 2020 at the age of 27. Their mom, Lisa Marie, who shared her two oldest kids with ex-husband Danny Keough, passed away at age 54 just nearly three years later in January 2023 following a small bowel obstruction. Elvis’ only daughter was survived by Riley, as well as the two younger daughters she welcomed with ex-husband Michael Lockwood: 15-year-old twins Finley and Harper.
