Posted by Tamela Phillippe on Friday, May 3, 2024

Elvis Presley’s children consist of his only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, whom he welcomed with his wife, Priscilla Presley. So far, the music legend is a grandfather of four, whom he welcomed through his daughter. They are Riley Keough, Benjamin Keough, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood.

Elvis Presley was an American music legend and actor who was dubbed the King of Rock and Roll for his prowess in the music industry. Having left a legacy in the entertainment industry, Elvis Presley’s children and grandchildren keep maintaining a spot in the limelight.

What To Know About Elvis Presley’s Children

Elvis Presley had only one child, a daughter named Lisa Marie Presley, whom he welcomed with his wife, Priscilla Presley. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in the United States on February 1, 1968. The Tennessee native was born under the Aquarius birth sign and has German, English, Norwegian, Scots-Irish, French, Dutch, and Danish roots. She was raised by her mother in Los Angeles after her parents pulled the strings on their union in 1973.

Though she spent most of her time with her mother, she visited her father often and spent time with him before his death. The death of Elvis Presley gave Lisa Marie Presley the privilege of becoming a joint heir to his real estate, which she later became its sole heir after her grandfather and great-grandmother died. Meanwhile, despite the fact that Elvis Presley died when Marie was nine years old, her mother still raised her to become the best.

Lisa Marie Presley is not a lone child, as she has a stepbrother known as Navarone Garibaldi, whom her mother welcomed from her relationship with Marco Garibaldi. Her stepbrother is a musician and the lead singer of The Guns.

Lisa Marie Presley Dropped Out of High School Due To Drug Addiction

Lisa Marie Presley attended schools for the elite in the United States, mostly in Los Angeles and Ojai, Ventura County, California. Some of the schools that she attended include Westlake School for Girls, John Thomas Dye School, Church of Scientology School, and more. However, she dropped out of high school as she became a drug addict and, in turn, became lonely and depressed.

Elvis Presley’s daughter later took a positive turn on her drug addiction, as she did not want to die like her father and went sober. In order to keep up with her sobriety, she engaged herself in making music and did not further her education.

A Look Into Lisa Marie Presley’s Love Life

Elvis Presley’s child was involved in four failed marriages. Her first marriage was to Danny Keough, an American musician whom she met at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles in the 1980s. The duo began dating in 1985, and by October 3, 1988, they had exchanged their marital vows. Priscilla Presley, Lisa’s mother, announced the wedding to People, revealing how happy she was for her daughter and her husband.

Five years after they got married and welcomed two children, the couple called it quits on April 29, 1994, without stating the reason for their split. However, they remained friends after their divorce, as Danny Keough became her bass player. He also served as her best man in her last marriage to Michael Lockwood in 2006. Their friendship lasted for years, even before she died, as he was living with her during her last days before her death.

Elvis Presley’s Child’s Second Marriage was To Michael Jackson

Three weeks after Elvis Presley’s child divorced Danny Keough, she moved on and married Michael Jackson, whom she met years ago at her father’s concert. Michael Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist best known as the King of Pop.

On May 26, she got married to the King of Pop in a private wedding ceremony held at a hotel in the Dominican Republic without anyone in attendance. Though their marriage started on a smooth note, it ended in 1996, barely two years after. Meanwhile, they did not welcome any children into their marriage.

Lisa Marie Presley’s Marriage To Nicholas Cage Lasted For Four Months

A few years after Lisa Marie Presley divorced the King of Pop, she got engaged to John Oszajca in 1999, but their marriage never happened as they broke up after some months. In 2000, she met Nicolas Cage at Johnny Ramone’s birthday party in October 2000. By May 2001, they began dating and eventually got married in August 2002.

However, their marriage was short-lived, as they called it quits in November 2002 without welcoming any children together. Lisa made it known through her publicist, Paul Bloch, that she was sad about it and should not have married in the first place. On Nicolas Cage’s path, he revealed that he did not comment on the marriage and was not going to comment on the divorce, but he loved her. Two years later, in May 2004, their divorce was finalized.

Elvis Presley’s Child’s Last Marriage Was To Michael Lockwood

Elvis Presley’s child began dating Michael Lockwood in 2003 and got married on January 22, 2006, in a private wedding ceremony in Kyoto, Japan. They were married for ten years and played a great couple and parental roles for their twin daughters before Lisa filed for divorce from Michael.

Their divorce was quite messy, as they were involved in a child custody battle in which Michael gained full custody after Marie’s death. Meanwhile, their divorce was finalized in May 2021.

Elvis Presley’s Child Had a Great Music Career

Elvis Presley’s only child ventured into music in pursuit of being drug-free and embracing her passion. Just like her father, she was a singer and songwriter who left an indelible mark in the music industry before her death.

Lisa Marie Presley unleashed her debut album on April 8, 2003, titled To Whom It May Concern. The album was a success, peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, which was at that time certified gold. Some of the album’s singles also made it to the Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 chart and the UK charts. Two years after she released her first album, she released her second album, titled Now What, on April 5, 2005, and this made it to No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Her third album, Storm and Grace, which was released on May 15, 2012, was a major hit and was described as the strongest album of her career. She also had about nine singles to her credit. Lisa Marie Presley, who loved and cherished her father, honored his memory through her music and made a posthumous duet with him in 1997 in a video titled Don’t Cry Daddy. The video was presented at the tribute concert for the 20th anniversary of her father’s death, held on August 16, 1997.

Lisa Marie Presley Was Involved In The Work of Charity 

Apart from her music career, Elvis Presley’s child was also involved in giving back to society, for which she was honored on several occasions. The philanthropist established the Presley Charitable Foundation in 2007.

The foundation, also known as Presley Place, provides up to one year of rent-free housing, child day care, career and financial counseling, family management guidance, and more to homeless families. She also joined hands with other charity organizations, like Angel Network, Dream Factory, and the Grammy Foundation’s Gold Grammy Signature Schools program, to help people.

Lisa Marie Presley Died In January 2023 at the Age of 54 

Lisa Marie Presley was found unresponsive in her bedroom by her housekeeper in her home in Calabasas on January 12, 2023. That morning, Danny Keough, Lisa’s husband, who was living with her, came back from the kids’ school, where he dropped them off. He immediately swung into action and performed CPR until the paramedics arrived at the scene. On arrival at the hospital, she was put on life support and induced into a coma.

Her brain was reported dead, and her family ordered doctors not to resuscitate her even when her heart stopped a second time. Shortly after her second cardiac arrest, she was pronounced dead. This came as a big blow to the whole family, and a rep for Priscilla made it known that the family was grieving and chose to maintain their privacy. On January 22, 2023, she was buried in Graceland, close to her late son, Ben.
