Riley Keough’s Daughter Tupelo Signs Book Cover for Lisa Marie Presley
Riley Keough gets his 2-year-old daughter, Tupelo, involved in the family business.
“Some of you can get a very special, special copy FROM HERE TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN signed by Tupelo,” Keough, 35, captioned a TikTok video earlier this week, referring to a letter he wrote with his late mother, Lisa Marie Presley.
In the clip, Keough signed an insert of the book, including a photo of himself and Presley. As the camera panned, Tupelo could be seen writing in one of the photos.
Keough shares her daughter with her husband Ben Smith-Petersen. Us Weekly confirmed in January 2023 that the couple – who have been married since 2015 – adopted Tupelo privately via surrogate. In From Here to the Great Unknownpublished on Tuesday, October 8, Keough revealed that her daughter was born in August 2022.
After Lisa Marie Presley’s death in 2023, her eldest daughter, Riley Keough, picked up where she left off and completed her memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown. Ahead of the book’s October 2024 release, Keough spoke publicly about her mother for the first time since Presley’s death, opening up about her mother’s story. […]
“My mom just fell in love with Tupelo — she felt a special bond with him, so she came to my house in Silver Lake and took him to live with her alone,” Keough wrote in the letter, noting that. he would “look out the window” as Tupelo and Presley talked.
Presley began writing his memoirs before his death in January 2023 at the age of 54. Keough later completed and published the book, and their ideas are highlighted using different fonts.

Elvis Presley was a music icon over the years, and his family became a legend. The “Jailhouse Rock” singer, who became popular in the 1950s, died in August 1977 at the age of 42. His only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was the one who found his passing before calling his ex-girlfriend Linda Thompson. […]

However, Presley spent time with his grandson while he was still able.
“He looked at Tupelo and the first thing he said was, ‘Ben Ben brought me to you,'” Riley recalled of Presley. “My mother called Tupelo ‘our little light,’ she would look him in the eye and say, ‘Bless her soft heart.’
