“I know I’m biased, but he’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen.”
Riley Keough is officially a mom of two.
According to People, the 36-year-old daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, quietly welcomed a baby with husband Ben Smith-Petersen earlier this year.
The couple are already parents to a 3-year-old daughter named Tupelo, per the outlet.
In an interview with People for this week’s cover story, Priscilla Presley — who was married to Elvis Presley from 1967 to 1973, per Graceland — shared a few details about her two great-grandbabies.
"I love her babies," she told the outlet. "I'm really happy for Riley. She's got an amazing husband and two great children, so I'm happy for her very much."
The baby announcement comes more than two years after Priscilla Presley’s legal battle with Keough, per People.
The feud, which ended in a settlement, started when Priscilla Presley challenged her daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s living will, which saw Keough become sole heir of Elvis Presley’s iconic Graceland estate.
Lisa Marie died on Jan. 12, 2023 due to complications from bariatric surgery, according to NPR.
Today, the family is in a much better place and Priscilla Presley is enjoying her role as a great-grandma to Keough’s two babies — both of whom are kept out of the spotlight.

Keough and Smith-Petersen met in 2012, confirmed their engagement in 2014 and tied the knot on Feb. 4, 2015, according to Us Weekly.
Their daughter Tupelo was born in August 2022 with the help of a surrogate, per People.
Like their second child, Tupelo’s birth was kept a secret for several months. Smith-Petersen revealed her birth while reading Keough’s eulogy letter at Lisa Marie Presley’s memorial in January 2023.
Priscilla Presley describes Riley Keough’s daughter Tupelo as a ‘chatterbox’
In her recent interview with People, Priscilla Presley opened up about how Tupelo is doing today.
"She does what she wants. She rules," Tupelo’s great-grandma said — adding that she “lives in her own world.”
Priscilla Presley also revealed her shock when Tupelo started talking before her first birthday.
"At my home, there's a pond right down below, and I'm holding her, and she goes, 'Pond,'" she said. "She's not even a year going, 'Pond.' Then she looked, and she saw a car.”
“I went to Lisa, and I said, 'Lisa, she's not even a year, and she's telling me all what's out there.' [Riley] was saying that her husband really spends a lot of time with her. She's a chatterbox,” she added.
Tupelo’s name wasn’t revealed until August 2023 — and it has a sweet connection to the Presley family.
According to Behind the Name, Tupelo is the name of a type of tree that translates to “tree swamp” in Creek (Muscogee). It’s also the name of the city in Mississippi that Elvis Presley was born in.
It’s a rather unique name for a baby girl that’s given to less than five baby girls each year, per the Social Security Administration.
Tupelo — whose full name is Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen — also shares a middle name with the actress’ late brother Benjamin Storm Keough, who died in 2020 at the age of 27, per E! News.
During a January appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Keough opened up about what she wants for her two kids.
