CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA: The only daughter of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, was rushed to a hospital on Thursday, January 12, after officials responded to her home for a possible cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead, just two days after she attended the Golden Globes 2023 with mother Priscilla Presley and Elvis star Austin Butler, had four kids from two different marriages. The 54-year-old singer and songwriter married Danny Keough in 1988 with whom she shared her two children, daughter Riley Keough and son Benjamin Keough. And with Michael Lockwood, she had twin daughters, Finley Lockwood and Harper Lockwood.
Born in 1968, Lisa Marie was married four times, Danny from 1988 to 1994, Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996, Nicolas Cage from 2002 to 2004, and Michael from 2006 to 2016 but her divorce from him was finalized in 2021. However, in July 2020, she was left devastated after her second child Benjamin died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. In October 2020 to honor her late son on his birthday, she wrote on Instagram, "My beautiful beautiful angel, I worshipped the ground you walked on, on this earth and now in Heaven. My heart and soul went with you. The depth of the pain is suffocating and bottomless without you every moment of every day. I will never be the same. Please wait for me my love, and hold my hand while I stay to continue to protect and raise your little sisters and to be here for Riley. I know you would want that. Happy Birthday my sweet sweet Boy. You were much too good for this world."

She also spoke about her son's suicide in an essay published on People in 2022 where she began by saying, "Today is 'National Grief Awareness Day', and since I have been living in the horrific reality of its unrelenting grips since my son's death two years ago, I thought I would share a few things to be aware of in regard to grief for anyone who is interested. If not to help yourself but maybe to help another who is grieving." She further wrote, "I already battle with and beat myself up tirelessly and chronically, blaming myself every single day and that's hard enough to now live with, but others will judge and blame you too, even secretly or behind your back which is even more cruel and painful on top of everything else," and added, "Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but finding support can sometimes help you feel a little bit less alone."
"It's a real choice to keep going, one that I have to make every single day and one that is constantly challenging to say the least ... But I keep going for my girls. I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind. He absolutely adored them and they him. My and my three daughters' lives as we knew it were completely detonated and destroyed by his death. We live in this every. Single. Day," the mother expressed.
Benjamin followed the footsteps of his family and pursued acting and music. As per The Sun, he also signed a $ 5 million five-album record deal with Universal in 2009. While Riley, her first child and the eldest among four, is an actress and a model. Her first runway debut was for Dolce & Gabbana and she also made it on the cover of Vogue with her mother and grandmother, Priscilla.
