Six facts about Finley, from identity to inheritance.

Who has custody of Lisa Marie Presley’s twins?

Who are Finley and Harper Lockwood?

Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and her twin sister Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood were born on October 7, 2008, to Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood, a guitarist and music producer (Legit.ng (biographical profile)). They are the youngest grandchildren of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. Their half-sister is actress Riley Keough, and their half-brother Benjamin Keough died by suicide in July 2020.

What is the current custody arrangement?

Following Lisa Marie Presley’s death on January 12, 2023 from complications of a small bowel obstruction, a custody dispute emerged between Priscilla Presley and Michael Lockwood. In March 2023, Entertainment Tonight reported that the court was poised to dismiss the custody case, which would likely give Lockwood full custody unless another family member challenged the decision in probate court (Entertainment Tonight (entertainment news)).

“The girls have been with me and will be until all this is sorted out.” — Priscilla Presley to Who magazine

Priscilla Presley told Who magazine in 2024 that the twins had been living with her and would remain with her until all matters were resolved. However, a July 2025 report from RadarOnline stated that the 16-year-old twins now live with their father, Michael Lockwood (RadarOnline (tabloid news)). NOW To Love, an Australian lifestyle outlet, also reported in 2024 that Lockwood had full custody and that the twins spend time with both Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough (NOW To Love (lifestyle media)).

The pattern: public statements and court filings paint different portraits. What is consistent is that no single, binding decision has been published in a public docket that all parties accept. The situation remains in legal flux.

Does Priscilla have a relationship with her grandchildren?

Priscilla’s presence at the twins’ birth

Priscilla Presley was present at the birth of Finley and Harper in 2008, according to family interviews. She has publicly referred to them as her grandchildren and maintained contact with them throughout the divorce of their parents.

Relationship after Lisa Marie’s death

After Lisa Marie Presley’s death in 2023, Priscilla Presley sought control of her daughter’s trust, which included provisions for the twins’ sub-trusts. People reported that Riley Keough, the eldest daughter, became the sole trustee of the twins’ sub-trusts after a legal agreement with Priscilla.

The implication: Priscilla retains a visible role in the twins’ lives, but her influence is mediated by probate court decisions and Riley Keough’s trusteeship. The personal relationship may be warm, but its public frame is legal.

Who was Elvis Presley’s true love?

Elvis’s relationship with Priscilla

Elvis Presley married Priscilla Beaulieu on May 1, 1967, in Las Vegas. They had one child together, Lisa Marie Presley. Biographies describe their relationship as intense but uneven — with a significant age gap and highly controlled courtship.

Other significant relationships

Elvis had well-documented extramarital affairs during and after his marriage. He notably had a relationship with Linda Thompson and later with Ginger Alden. Despite those, Priscilla has stated in interviews that Elvis told her she was his true love, a claim that appears in multiple biographical works.

The catch: The “true love” question is insoluble by public record. What is documented is that Elvis’s 1973 divorce from Priscilla was the only divorce he ever experienced, and he reportedly expressed regret about it in private conversations.

How old was Priscilla Presley when she slept with Elvis?

Age of consent at the time

Priscilla Beaulieu was 14 years old when she first met Elvis Presley in 1959 at a party in Bad Nauheim, West Germany, where Elvis was stationed with the U.S. Army. Their relationship began when she was 15.

At the time, the age of consent in Tennessee (where Graceland is located) was 18. In Germany, where they met, the age of consent was 14. Priscilla’s parents allowed her to move into Graceland when she was 16, after Elvis’s return to the United States, with the understanding that she would attend a Catholic high school and live under the supervision of Elvis’s father, Vernon Presley.

What this means: Priscilla’s early involvement with Elvis was legal under German law where it began, but it occurred in a context — parental consent, a controlled environment at Graceland — that modern readers judge differently. The lack of legal consequences does not resolve the ethical questions.

Did Elvis regret leaving Priscilla?

Circumstances of their separation

Elvis and Priscilla separated in 1972 and divorced in 1973. Priscilla filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. She has said that she had fallen in love with her martial arts instructor, Mike Stone.

Elvis’s later statements

Multiple biographies report that Elvis expressed regret about the divorce in private conversations with friends and family. Priscilla herself has stated that she believed Elvis never stopped loving her and that he told her she was the love of his life.

Why this matters: The regret narrative is largely sourced from secondhand accounts and Priscilla’s own interviews. There is no contemporaneous letter or audio recording in which Elvis unambiguously states regret. It is a story told after his death, not one he published himself.
