“Through it all, Ben was a total rock for Riley, she couldn’t be more grateful to have him in her life,” the source shared. “The last few years have been extremely tough for Riley, with her brother dying and then her mom and the issue with her grandmother over her grandfather’s estate, there was a lot of grief.”
In 2020, the Daisy Jones & The Six star’s brother, Benjamin Keough, took his own life at age 27. In 2023, Riley’s mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died at age 54 from a small bowel obstruction caused by bariatric surgery.

Through all the bad times, Ben was always there for Riley, however, the insider pointed out, “There was joy too, with the birth of their daughter, Tupelo.”
