Riley Keough is opening up about what’s publicly unknown about her famous family’s past.
The “From Here to the Great Unknown” author opened up to “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper during a new Wednesday episode about her late mom Lisa Marie Presley’s marriage to the music legend Michael Jackson.
“I think when she saw Michael’s life, there were things that he had that she didn’t have,” Keough told host Cooper about Jackson’s opulent life with planes and assistants, adding “that changed” during her mom’s short marriage to Jackson.
But they were used to certain parts of fame, according to Keough who explained that “our life wasn’t crazier because that was already there, that already existed, like the press and the crazy, the paparazzi.”
Keough also addressed her mom’s marriage with Jackson, telling Cooper that “the one thing I know is that they were in love and that their love for one another was genuine because I was there, and I remember. Everything else, I don’t know because I wasn’t there.”
Before Presley, who died in 2023, and Jackson, who died in 2009, were married, the “Man in the Mirror” singer faced allegations of child sexual abuse. But Keough and Presley never discussed the claims levied against her ex-stepfather.
