The whole family was tight-knit at one point, and there was a special reason for that.
“Our children growing up together is the most touching experience either my daughter or I have had.
Sadly, Keough often found herself in the middle, trying to keep the peace.
The latter, although not the most high-profile, proved to be the most contentious.
And while the divorce was finalized in 2021, their split occurred in 2016.
According to sources, this also caused a rift betweenRiley Keoughand her grandmother.
“Riley was always on her mom’s side when it came to Michael,” a source toldPeople.
Keough’s brother,Benjamin, passed away in 2020, leaving Keough as the sole trustee.
A source toldEntertainment Tonight, “It was always meant for her children to inherit her trust.
Lisa always wanted Riley and Benjamin to be the beneficiaries of the trust and that was no secret.”
She added, “I mean, it was very emotional … She also said that Lisa Marie’s signature looked different, implying there was something underhanded at play.
The legal drama was another blow to Keough, who was already grieving her mother’s death.
Priscilla reportedly said she was proud of Keough and maintained that the she and her granddaughter remained close.
“When my mom passed, there was a lot of chaos in every aspect of our lives.
“We are a family, but there’s also a huge business side of our family.
So I think that there was clarity that needed to be had.”
In June 2023, they reached a settlement regarding the family trust.
“Things with Grandma will be happy,” Keough said.
“They’ve never not been happy.
… She’s just been my grandma.”
