Lisa Marie's son and Elvis' only grandson, Benjamin Keough, died last year.
In July 2020, Elvis' only grandson Benjamin died in what was ruled a suicide at 27 years old. In an Oct. 2020 post on Instagram, Lisa Marie marked what would have been her son's 28th birthday.
"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," she wrote, adding, "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."
Recently, nearly a year after Benjamin's death, Riley posted an Instagram story in his honor. "A year ago this morning was the last time I got to see you," Riley wrote along with a photo of her and her brother. "I didn't hug you properly because I thought you had COVID. I wish I'd hugged you properly. I miss you every day."
The family is all very close.
In a 2014 interview with Healthy Living magazine, before Benjamin's death, Lisa Marie opened up about raising her four kids. "I just smother them in love and I am also ferociously protective," she said. "They are my priority. That’s what I do. That’s what I care most about. I keep them close to me and make sure they are happy and healthy." She added, "The older ones absolutely adore the younger ones and they help me with them. We all kind of hold each other up; we are all each other’s best friends. I’m theirs but I am also their mother."
In May 2019, Lisa Marie shared a sweet moment between Riley and her little sisters on Instagram. For Riley's 30th birthday, Lisa Marie gave her a recording of herself singing Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," which she called their song together. But, an additional surprise was that Finley and Harper were part of the song, too. Lisa Marie wrote that the gift "was emotional enough. But the bigger surprise was when the chorus kicks in of her sisters singing." In the video, you can see Riley overcome with emotion when she hears her sisters singing along on the recording.
