Presley called Riley and her younger daughters her "fave people" in a 2018 photo shared on Instagram. Ahead of the release of the "Elvis" biopic honoring her father in 2022, which starred Golden Globe-winner Austin Butler, Presley also opened up about how the film impacted her kids.

"What moved me to tears as well was watching Riley and Harper, and Finley afterwards, all 3 visibly overwhelmed in the best ... possible way, and so filled with pride about their grandfather and his legacy in a way that I have not previously experienced," the proud mother wrote on X, formerly called Twitter, in May 2022.

Benjamin Keough

Benjamin Keough was Presley and Danny Keough's second child and her first and only son. He mainly stayed out of the spotlight but appeared in his family's TV special "Elvis by the Presleys" and in the music video for "I Love You Because," a duet between his mother and grandfather.

Presley previously revealed on social media that she and her son shared matching feet tattoos of a Celtic eternity knot that represented their "eternal love" and "eternal bond."

Benjamin Keough died by suicide in July 2020, which devastated Presley and her family. "She adored that boy. He was the love of her life," Presley's representative Roger Widynowski told ABC News at the time.

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org. Free, confidential help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You are not on your own.

Presley was laid to rest at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben.
