Riley Keough Steps Out for Spa Day as She Welcomes Second Child

Riley Keough, the 36-year-old actress known for Daisy Jones & The Six, was seen in Westlake, Los Angeles, on Wednesday in casual, comfortable clothing—a royal blue sweatshirt, black biker shorts and shearling-lined clogs—before heading out for a spa visit. The sighting occurred as she and husband Ben Smith-Petersen quietly expanded their family, welcoming a second child to join their three-year-old daughter Tupelo. The newborn’s sex and name have not been publicly disclosed, and the couple’s representatives have kept most details private.

Keough, the eldest grandchild of Elvis Presley and the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough, has kept a relatively low profile since the latest addition to the family was reported. The couple’s rep confirmed to Page Six in recent days that they had welcomed another baby, marking their first public acknowledgment of the arrival since the initial sighting of the infant in late August. The family’s privacy around the newborn’s identity stands in contrast to the public interest that naturally surrounds star family milestones.

The timing of Keough’s spa visit coincides with broader public interest in the Presley family following the release of Priscilla Presley’s memoir Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, which arrives amid discussions about her past and her relationship with Lisa Marie Presley. In the book, Priscilla chronicles her life at Graceland and her divorce from Elvis Presley in the early 1970s, years before his death in 1977. The publication adds another layer to the ongoing public look at the Presley family’s dynamics since Elvis and Priscilla’s split and Lisa Marie’s later life, including her own career and the estate battles surrounding it.

Priscilla Presley, now 80, writes candidly about her life after Elvis and her reflections on the era that defined the family’s public image. The memoir also touches on her relationship with Lisa Marie and the complexities that have continued to shape the family’s legacy. Some passages have drawn attention for their portrayal of past tensions, though Priscilla’s representatives have characterized the book as a personal account of a long and storied family history.

Meanwhile, new details about Riley Keough’s private life have emerged in recent weeks. A private letter leaked in the context of ongoing legal disputes involving Priscilla Presley raised questions about the relationships within the family after Lisa Marie’s death. In the note, Riley’s words described a rift with her grandmother during tense negotiations over Lisa Marie’s estate, highlighting the fragile nature of interpersonal ties within a family under intense public scrutiny. The letter’s release came amid a broader set of claims about the Presley estate and earlier assertions about Elvis’s life and decisions.

The Presley family’s public narrative has long intertwined music history with personal history. Lisa Marie Presley died in January 2023 due to complications from a small bowel obstruction connected to bariatric surgery, an event that further complicated a legacy already widely discussed in public forums. Priscilla’s memoir and the ongoing media coverage continue to shape the way readers and viewers understand the family’s saga, including the enduring influence of Elvis’s career and the ways in which his legacy has been managed and interpreted by his former spouse and children. The recent spate of publications and interviews has kept fans engaged with new revelations and fresh perspectives on a family that has remained remarkably central to American pop culture for decades.

As Riley Keough moves forward with motherhood, she and Smith-Petersen are navigating a new chapter while continuing to balance their private life with public interest in their family history. Fans and observers will likely watch for further updates about the newest member of the Keough-Smith-Petersen household, as well as any additional material that sheds light on the broader Presley family narrative. The combination of child milestones and memoir disclosures ensures that 2025 remains a significant year for those who have followed the Presley lineage for generations.
