Riley Keough & Ben Smith-Petersen Privately Welcomed Baby No. 2

by

Riley Keough and Ben Smith-Peterson have grown their family.

Priscilla Presley, Elvis Presley’s ex-wife, has shared that her granddaughter and her husband secretly welcomed another baby earlier in 2024.

Honestly, hearing Priscilla say that just *melts* my heart! She told *People* magazine – I read it the second it came out, of course – that seeing her whole family thriving is what truly makes her happy. It’s just… everything! Knowing *she’s* happy because everyone is doing well? It’s perfect. I’m so happy for her and the whole family!

Oh my gosh, I was SO thrilled when I found out Riley and Ben had a baby girl! It was back in August 2022, and her name is Tupelo – it’s the *most* beautiful name ever! They used a surrogate, which is amazing, and honestly, I’ve been obsessed with little Tupelo ever since!

Riley, who has openly discussed her Lyme disease, explained to Vanity Fair in August 2023 that while she is able to have children, she felt surrogacy was the best option given her health challenges. She praised surrogates, calling their willingness to help others a “very cool, selfless, and incredible act.”

Since becoming a parent, the 36-year-old has dedicated herself to creating a wonderful childhood for her children.

She explained that this was the most important thing she’d ever tried to do well. While she didn’t believe anyone could be a perfect parent, she wanted to be the best possible mom to her daughter.

The Daisy Jones & The Six actress added, “That’s very important to me.”

Riley, the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough, has spoken about her own experiences as a mother and also shared that she used to be a rebellious teenager.

In fact, she once had to call her late mother from prison after getting arrested as a minor.

Riley shared that she and Lisa Marie both went through a phase of acting out. Speaking on Alex Cooper’s *Call Her Daddy* podcast in January, Riley described how they both used to sneak out, associate with people they weren’t supposed to, and even got arrested.

The actress from *Under the Bridge* said she doesn’t remember ever seeing a mugshot of herself, but she clearly remembers what she did that got her arrested.

I did something really bad,” Riley admitted. “I broke into a house. I went to what I thought was a party at my friend’s place, but it turned out to be an empty house that was for sale. The police showed up, and while most people escaped, about ten of us were arrested.

And for her part, Lisa Marie was less than thrilled to receive the news.

“My mom was pissed!” Riley admitted. “She was like, ‘This is on you, girl.'”

Thankfully, the incident didn’t make the news. I was punished for about three months, right around my fifteenth or sixteenth birthday. I ended up having to call my mom, who was in Las Vegas at the time, and ask her to come back and bail me out of jail.
