The latest controversy surrounding Lisa Marie Presley’s family has taken a surprising turn with allegations made by one of Priscilla Presley’s business associates, Brigitte Kruse. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Kruse claimed that Riley Keough, Lisa Marie’s daughter with one of her former husbands, is the biological mother of John Travolta’s son, Benjamin. This claim has caused a stir in the entertainment world, as Benjamin is legally known as Travolta’s son with his late wife, Kelly Preston.
The allegations suggest that Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie’s ex-husband and Riley’s stepfather, revealed to Kruse that Riley allegedly donated one of her eggs to John Travolta and his wife in exchange for $20,000 and an old Jaguar. While Lockwood has not made any statements regarding these claims, Priscilla Presley has vehemently denied them, calling the allegations “shameful” and “outrageous.”
Michael Lockwood, a talented musician and guitarist, was married to Lisa Marie Presley and shares twin daughters with her, Harper, and Finley. In the wake of Lisa Marie’s tragic death in January 2023, Lockwood shared his heartfelt condolences, expressing his deep sorrow and emphasizing the importance of taking care of their daughters during such a difficult time.
The legal battles that followed Lisa Marie’s passing shed light on the complexities within the family. Lockwood won a case against Riley Keough, who was named the administrator of Lisa Marie’s estate, leading to a reimbursement of legal expenses incurred during the custody battle. Riley, who is married to Ben Smith-Petersen and has two children of her own, spoke about the chaos that ensued after her mother’s death and the need for clarity amidst the family’s business affairs.
As the dust settles on these legal matters, the claims surrounding Riley Keough’s alleged involvement in Benjamin Travolta’s parentage remain unverified. The Presley family continues to navigate the aftermath of Lisa Marie’s passing, with a focus on honoring her legacy and maintaining a sense of privacy during these challenging times.
