Priscilla Presley Slams ‘Shameful’ Claim That Riley Keough Is Biological Mom of John Travolta’s Son

Priscilla Presley has responded after being hit with another shocking claim amid her legal battle with former business advisors Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, who have now alleged that Riley Keough — the granddaughter of Elvis Presley and his ex-wife — is the biological mother of John Travolta’s son.

In court documents obtained by Billboard on Thursday (Dec. 18), the plaintiffs — who first sued Priscilla in February 2024 over accusations of unfair business conduct — claimed that Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used the Daisy Jones & The Six actress’ donated eggs to conceive their now 15-year-old son. In exchange, Keough allegedly received “an old Jaguar” car and up to $20,000 in payment.  

Before, Travolta and Preston — who shared two other children together — had allegedly been using eggs provided by Elvis and Priscilla’s late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley (Keough’s mother), to try to conceive, according to the documents. The lawsuit also claims that Michael Lockwood, who was married to Lisa Marie, provided the alleged information to Kruse and Fialko.

Billboard has reached out to Presley’s, Keough’s and Travolta’s reps, as well as Lockwood, for comment. 

In a statement shared with TMZ, who first reported the news, Priscilla’s lawyers Marty Singer and Wayne Harman said, “These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case. The conduct … is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court.” 

The plaintiffs’ lawyers hit back in a statement to TMZ: “Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko are heartbroken that they have been forced to file their most recent amended complaint. They have been accused of horrific acts that are not supported by any evidence whatsoever.” 

Statements made in legal filings are merely allegations made by one side. In this case, Kruse and Fialko have been progressively adding more and more head-turning claims to their suit since last year, at different points alleging that Priscilla removed her daughter from life support against Lisa Marie’s wishes before her death in 2023 and claiming that Priscilla extorted “millions of dollars from Elvis” before “pushing him to his death” in 1977 — all of which she has consistently vehemently denied.

In the original lawsuit, Kruse and Fialko had alleged that Priscilla unjustly cut them off after they’d helped her out of “impending financial ruin.” In July 2024, Priscilla countersued for elder abuse, accusing Kruse and Fialko of a “meticulously planned” scheme to drain her of “every last penny she had.”
