Priscilla Presley is proving that, despite the wild headlines, the family has an unbreakable bond. Ahead of Christmas, the 80-year-old matriarch shared a family photo full of exes and generations on Instagram, but the timing and caption seem like a strong statement to the world.
On Monday, Priscilla shared a photo of the blended family gathered together, smiling, relaxed, and very much united. It does appear to be edited, but the message is the same. "‘Holiday 2025 & unbreakable family bond’" she captioned the photo.
In the photo are her longtime friend Jerry Schilling, former sons-in-law Danny Keough and Michael Lockwood, granddaughter Riley Keough, Riley’s newborn baby, whose face they covered with a smiley face, and Lisa Marie's twins Harper and Finley.
She curiously turned off the comments.
Non-stop drama for the family
Over the past two years, the Presley family has endured loss and chaos. Lisa Marie Presley’s death in January 2023 fractured the family in private and public.
Riley stepped into an enormous role as the sole trustee of Graceland, a position that has come with legal battles, media speculation, and relentless pressure. Priscilla has also found herself navigating grief while defending her family’s name.
Just one week before Priscilla shared the photo, an amended complaint filed by her former business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, reignited explosive claims involving her son, Navarone Garcia, and her granddaughter, Riley.
Among the most shocking allegations: that Riley donated her eggs to John Travolta and Kelly Preston, resulting in the birth of their son, Ben.
The Presley family has firmly denied the claims, with Priscilla’s legal team calling them “outrageous,” “shameful,” and a deliberate attempt to cause further pain.
The lawsuit itself is part of a much larger legal war. Priscilla previously sued Kruse and Fialko for elder abuse. They countersued for breach of contract, alleging tens of millions in damages. Motions have been lost, lawyers have been swapped, and accusations have escalated. What began as a business dispute has morphed into headline-making personal attacks, dragging multiple generations into the drama.
The people in the photo have been a steady rock. Danny, Lisa Marie’s first husband and Riley’s father, has remained a presence in the family.
Her fourth ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, despite years of contentious custody battles, is there, too, proof that the shared love for the twins outweighs old conflicts.
Riley, now a mother of two herself, with husband Ben Smith-Peterse, has been balancing grief, responsibility, and the protection of her family. While she has shared throwback photos honoring her twin sisters and celebrated Priscilla’s milestone birthday, she's kept her own children largely out of the spotlight.
Harper and Finley, now 17, have quietly stepped into public view this year, making their first public debut on the cover of EQLuxe with their grandma in October.
