    Riley Keough, Elvis Presley‘s granddaughter, is reportedly struggling to hold her family together amid a legal storm as claims emerge that she may be the biological mother of John Travolta‘s son, Ben.

    The allegations, made by her grandmother, Priscilla Presley‘s former business associates, could lead to DNA testing.

    Riley Keough is also carefully navigating her relationship with her younger sisters, twins Finley and Harper, while managing their trust fund.

    Riley Keough Navigates Family Challenges As Shocking Travolta Egg Donation Claims Surface

    Keough is reportedly dealing with a delicate family situation as shocking claims emerge suggesting she could be the biological mother of Travolta’s youngest child, Ben.

    “Her mission is just to hold the family together,” a source told Page Six about the 36-year-old actress.

    The controversy stems from alleged remarks Keough’s stepfather, Michael Lockwood, made to Priscilla Presley’s former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, court documents reveal.

    Legal proceedings could now require 15-year-old Ben to provide DNA to determine whether Keough donated her eggs to Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston.

    Friends say Keough is treading carefully to protect her relationship with her younger sisters, twins Finley and Harper, 17, who have been in Lockwood’s custody since the death of their mother, Lisa Marie Presley, in January 2023.

    While Keough manages their access to their trust fund, she must still operate within Lockwood’s rules.

    “The twins won’t get their money [from Lisa Marie’s estate] until they’re 25,” an insider said. “Until then, Riley controls the money. But, of course, Riley wants to see her sisters, so she has to play by [Lockwood’s] rules.”

    Recently, the sisters were photographed together with Priscilla, Lockwood, and one of Keough’s young daughters, in a post shared by Priscilla captioned: “Holiday 2025 & unbreakable family bond.”

    The Actress Settled A Legal Dispute With Her Grandmother Over Her Late Mother’s Trust: ‘She Didn’t Want This Mess’

    Since Lisa Marie’s passing, Keough has had to manage complex family matters.

    Her grandmother, Priscilla, had previously contested a 2016 trust document that replaced her with Keough as the sole trustee of Lisa Marie’s multimillion-dollar estate. Keough later settled with her for “millions” to resolve the dispute out of court.

    “Riley is an amazing person,” said the Page Six source, “Her mission is just to hold the family together. When Priscilla was suing for the trust, Riley settled out of court. She gave her grandmother a chunk of money and said, ‘Let’s just end this.'”

    The source added, “Riley is always going to take care of the family, hands down. Although she would have won in court, she didn’t want this mess.”

    About The John Travolta Egg Donor Allegations

    Priscilla’s former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, is suing her son, Navarone Garcia, for breach of contract.

    In her lawsuit, Kruse includes the explosive allegation that Keough donated eggs to Travolta and Preston for their son Ben, claiming Preston was unable to conceive on her own.

    The filing further alleges that Travolta and Preston had previously used eggs from Lisa Marie Presley, but opted not to again due to concerns over her past opioid use.

    According to the lawsuit, Keough received an “old Jaguar” and between $10,000 and $20,000 in exchange for the egg donation.

    The complaint further claims that Lockwood sought to have Kruse and Fialko “use the information to orchestrate a settlement for him and his daughters.”

    The filings also allege that Garcia, Priscilla’s son, “threw a tantrum” upon learning the news, demanding that Keough and Travolta’s son remain out of the public eye.

    He reportedly insisted on being the only male musician in the family, describing himself as the “king,” and allegedly requested a “million-dollar settlement.”

    Priscilla’s attorneys, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, responded in a statement to TMZ, calling the latest legal filings by Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their associates “an attempt to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family.”

    In Singer and Hartman’s response to Kruse’s latest filing, Priscilla’s lawyers called the egg donor allegations “outrageous,” stating that it had nothing to do with the actual case.

    “After losing motion after motion in this case, and unsuccessfully seeking to have Presley’s counsel of record, Marty Singer, disqualified from representing her in this matter, Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross,” the statement by the lawyers read.

    Singer and Harman added, “These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case. The conduct of Kruse, Fialko, and their new lawyers is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court.”
