In a rare and heartwarming public appearance, actress Riley Keough has set the rumour mill into overdrive after being photographed cradling a mystery infant. The Daisy Jones & The Six star was captured enjoying a low-key family day out in Los Angeles with her husband, stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, and their young daughter.
The intimate family moment, snapped by paparazzi, shows the 34-year-old heiress to the Presley estate looking every bit the doting mother. Dressed casually in a black top and trousers, Keough was seen tenderly holding a baby swaddled in a white blanket, while her husband pushed their three-year-old daughter in a stroller.
The sighting has inevitably sparked a flurry of questions among fans and celebrity watchers. The couple, who have been notoriously private about their family life, have not publicly announced the arrival of a new child. This has led to intense speculation about the infant's identity—is this a new addition to the Keough-Smith-Petersen clan, a relative's child, or perhaps a close friend's baby?
The outing marks a significant public moment for the family, who have largely stayed out of the spotlight since the tragic passing of Riley's mother, music icon Lisa Marie Presley, in January 2023. The images portray a picture of serene family happiness, a testament to their resilience during a profoundly difficult period.
Keough, the eldest granddaughter of the legendary Elvis Presley, has recently been in the legal spotlight herself, having been appointed the sole trustee of her late mother's estate and the sub-trust for her younger sisters. This new chapter of her life appears to be firmly centred on family, both on and off the screen.
