Priscilla Presley has publicly addressed and firmly denied startling rumors suggesting that her granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, donated her eggs to help actor John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, conceive their son.
The claims emerged as part of an ongoing lawsuit filed against Priscilla Presley by two former associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko. In their legal complaint, the pair accuse Elvis Presley’s former wife of multiple offenses, including fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, misuse of name and likeness, conversion, and intentional interference with business relationships.
Within the lawsuit, Kruse and Fialko allege that Riley Keough provided her eggs to Travolta and Preston during a time when the couple was reportedly struggling to conceive. According to reports cited by PEOPLE, the lawsuit claims the eggs were used to conceive their son, Benjamin, who is now 15 years old.
The allegations reference internal family disputes that followed the death of Lisa Marie Presley in 2023. The lawsuit further claims that Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, allegedly told Kruse that Keough entered into an arrangement with Travolta and Preston, exchanging her eggs for an old Jaguar vehicle and $20,000. It is also alleged that Preston was unable to carry children herself.
Additional claims suggest that Travolta and Preston may have previously used Lisa Marie Presley’s eggs, and that Travolta allegedly approached her about this possibility after the death of his son Jett in 2010.
Priscilla Presley has strongly rejected all such accusations, calling them “shameful and untrue.” Her legal team released a statement condemning the allegations as reckless and deeply harmful, accusing Kruse and others involved of crossing ethical boundaries to inflict further pain on the Presley family.
A representative for Riley Keough also denied the claims, describing them as false and deeply hurtful. The statement emphasized that the family remains united, focused on honoring Lisa Marie Presley’s memory and preserving Elvis Presley’s legacy with dignity.
Michael Lockwood, when contacted by the media, dismissed the allegations as “crazy,” stating he had never heard anything of the sort.
