Did Lisa Marie Presley miss the birth of her first grandchild?

Days after her sudden death, Presley was reportedly laid to rest in Graceland, Elvis Presley's iconic Memphis, Tennessee property, alongside the late Rock and Roll legend and other family members.

During her memorial, her daughter, Riley Keough, was obviously absent and unable to give her eulogy speech, so instead, she sent her husband Ben Smith- Petersen.

"Thank you for showing me that love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters," Smith-Petersen read.

hank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I'm a product of your heart. [sic]"

Fans were floored to hear about Keough's secret baby, and they couldn't believe it. According to Us Weekly, the "Daisy Jones and the Six" star did, in fact, welcomed the newest addition to the Presley family

The baby girl is Lisa Marie's first grandchild and Elvis' first great-grandchild.

New Addition

According to reports, a representative for the couple confirmed that they welcomed their daughter, but did not disclose when or what the baby's name is.

The news of the secret birth comes days after the death of Lisa Marie, who was initially rushed to a Los Angeles hospital for a possible cardiac arrest.

However, it was reported a few hours later that the singer had passed away at the age of 54.

Just a few days prior to her death, she was even seen attending the Golden Globe Awards in support of the new biopic about Elvis, starring Austin Butler.

During the promotional period for the biopic, she was often seen with Keough, but the pregnancy definitely left fans blindsided-they had no idea.

According to In Touch Weekly, the actress met her husband while they shot the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" in Namibia in 2012. They did not start dating until a year later, and eventually got married in 2015.

Throughout Keough's childhood and adulthood, Lisa Marie was present, and obviously a loving and supportive mother.

Although the actress was not present for the memorial, it is clear that she is thoroughly devastated by the loss.

Her eulogy also reads: "I remember how it felt be loved by the most loving mother I've ever known. How safe it felt to be in your arms: I remember that feeling as a child and I remember it two weeks ago on your couch."
