Riley Keough and husband Ben Smith-Petersen are a family of four after quietly welcoming their second baby, Us Weekly can confirm.
People first reported the news in a Priscilla Presley cover story published on Wednesday, September 17, that noted Keough, 36, and Smith-Petersen share daughter Tupelo, 3, and another child born earlier this year.
Keough and Smith-Petersen wed in 2015. Us previously confirmed in January 2023 that Keough and Smith-Petersen became parents when the actress welcomed their first child.
Smith-Petersen subtly addressed the news when he and Keough attended the funeral for her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, who died in January 2023 at age 54. Smith-Petersen read aloud a eulogy that his wife wrote in honor of her late mother during a funeral at Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate

“Thank you for showing me that love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters,” Smith-Petersen read for Keough. “Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart.”

“Riley wanted to keep the birth of her daughter private because her and her entire family is so public in every other way,” a source shared in March 2023. “Ben is a huge support system, he is so kind and caring and Riley needs that right now. The possibility of more kids is something that both Riley and Ben are very open to in the near future.”

Keough later opened up about her decision to welcome her first baby via surrogate.
“I can carry children, but it felt like the best choice for what I had going on physically with the autoimmune stuff,” Keough, who has been candid about battling Lyme disease, told Vanity Fair in August 2023. “I think it’s a very cool, selfless, and incredible act that these women do to help other people.”
The actress said it was important for her to prioritize motherhood, adding at the time, “This is the thing in my life so far that I have really wanted to, quote-unquote, get right. I don’t think you ever can be a perfect parent, but I would like to be the best mom for her that I can be. That’s … very important to me.”
