Riley Keough Explains Why She Parents Daughter Tupelo, 2, Differently Than How Her Mom Lisa Marie Presley Parented Her

When it comes to parenting, Riley Keough plans to do a few things differently than her mom, Lisa Marie Presley.

The Under the bridge actress, 35, appeared on Call her dad podcast on Wednesday, Jan. 15, and host Alex Cooper asked her if she would raise her 2-year-old daughter Tupelo, who she shares with husband Ben Smith-Petersen, differently than her mom raised her.

“I think she was such an amazing parent and she wanted us to have, I think like her father, these amazing experiences all the time,” Keough shares. “For me personally, I think the problem for some might be that when you’re used to so much, it’s hard to find joy in the simple things.”

Riley Keough Says She’s Adopted Mom Lisa Marie Presley’s ‘Southern Parenting Style’ With Her 2-Year-Old Daughter Tupelo

“I really want my kids to be able to find joy in playing in the yard and doing normal kid things and not needing elephants and the circus and all that stuff all the time.”

Although Keough says she probably would have done it differently, she admits her mom didn’t mean to do anything wrong.

“I think her intention was actually to give her children everything she could,” explains the actress.

In November, Keough spoke with author Taylor Jenkins Reid and shared how she actually reflects some of Presley’s parentage.

“I think I always say it’s a Southern style of parenting, but it’s really very specific to my family,” Keough began. “I think she’s from the South, but whatever way she parented, that’s how I parented in a sense. I’m a parent now, too, in a way.”

She continued: “It’s really loving, tactile and suffocating – no boundaries.”

Why did she describe her family’s unique parenting style in such detail in her mother’s memoir From here to the Great Unknownsaid Keough, “I thought the way my family in the South talked to each other in this completely insane way might help paint a picture of absolute wilderness.”
