Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie reveals the name of her baby girl and discusses the surrogacy process for the first time.

The memories of Riley Keough 's older brother Benjamin and Elvis Presley live on in Keoughs new daughter.

Ben Smith-Petersen , the husband of Daisy Jones and the Six actress Daisy Jones, revealed that the couple welcomed a daughter last year. He read a tribute to his wife at the Lisa Marie Presley memorial ceremony held in Graceland.

Keough revealed her full name, Tupelo Storm, to Vanity Fair in a cover story. She thought that the name was a subtle reference to The King's home town of Tupelo in Mississippi. However, after Baz Luthmann's The King film came out later that same year, she realized how wrong they were.

It's funny, because we chose her name before the Elvis film. She told the publication, "I thought it was great because this is not a very well-known name or word in my family. It's nothing like Memphis." When the Elvis film came out, everyone was talking about Tupelo. I was like 'Oh no.' "But it's fine."

Storm is her tribute to Benjamin Storm Keough who passed away in 2020, aged 27.

She told Vanity Fair that surrogacy was "a very cool and selfless act these women do for other people." She said, "I could carry children but it felt the best option for what I was going through physically with the Lyme stuff."

Keough, speaking of motherhood, said, "This has been the one thing I've really wanted to get right in my life, quote-unquote." "I don’t believe you can ever be a perfect mother, but I want to be the best one I can for her. That's ... "This is very important to me."

She said, "I can remember it so clearly. I knew we would have children." In retrospect, it was very strange. "I didn't know what we would do, but we got there."
