Riley Keough Says She 'Spent More Time at Neverland Than Graceland' Growing Up: 'That Was My Real Home'

The actress' late mother, Lisa-Marie Presley, was married to Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996

Riley Keough is sharing her fond childhood memories spent at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch.

“I spent more time at Neverland than Graceland, to be honest,” Keough tells Vanity Fair in the September issue cover story, comparing Michael Jackson’s former estate to her grandfather Elvis Presley’s.

“That was a real home, whereas Graceland was a museum in my lifetime," she added.

Keough stayed with her mother Lisa Marie Presley at Neverland Ranch during Lisa-Marie's two-year marriage to Jackson, which ended in 1996. Jackson owned and lived on the estate, located in Santa Barbara County, California from 1988 to 2005. It is now known as Sycamore Valley Ranch.

Keough is left with pleasant memories of Jackson, who died in 2009, following her time at ranch, despite the accusations that followed him after.

“In hindsight, I can see how crazy these things would be to somebody from the outside,” the Daisy Jones & the Six star says. “But when you’re living in them, it’s just your life and your family.”

“You just remember the love, and I had real love for Michael,” she adds.

Last week, Keough was named the sole trustee of Graceland, formerly owned by her grandfather Elvis and her late mother, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, following a legal dispute with her grandmother Priscilla Presley.

Keough addresses her relationship with Priscilla, 78, amid the settlement in her latest interview.

“When my mom passed, there was a lot of chaos in every aspect of our lives,” she tells Vanity Fair. “Everything felt like the carpet had been ripped out and the floor had melted from under us. Everyone was in a bit of a panic to understand how we move forward, and it just took a minute to understand the details of the situation, because it’s complicated.”

“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,” Keough explains.

The actress admits “there was a bit of upheaval” during the settlement between herself and her grandmother. “But now everything’s going to be how it was,” Keough insists. “Anything that would suggest otherwise in the press makes me sad because, at the end of the day, all she wants is to love and protect Graceland and the Presley family and the legacy.”

Currently, Keough is concentrating on her own family. She confirms in the interview that she and her husband Ben Smith-Petersen welcomed their daughter Tupelo via surrogate in August 2022.

“It’s funny because we picked her name [which is the Mississippi town where Elvis was born] before the Elvis movie,” Keough continues, referring to the 2022 Baz Luhrmann film. “I was like, ‘This is great because it’s not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family — it’s not like Memphis or something. Then when the Elvis movie came out, it was like, Tupelo this and Tupelo that. I was like, ‘Oh, no’, but it’s fine.”
