Riley Keough Balances Press Tour with Family Time Amid Chanel Show Appearance
Riley Keough, known for maintaining a private family life, has recently offered a glimpse into her personal world. This follows her busy schedule as she prepares for the release of her late mother Lisa Marie Presley‘s posthumous memoir, “From Here to the Great Unknown,” slated for release on October 8. Keough, an actress in the acclaimed series “Daisy Jones & the Six,” assisted in completing the memoir after her mother’s passing.
During her press circuit for the memoir, Keough made a notable appearance in Paris for fashion week. At the Chanel runway show held at the iconic Grand Palais, she delivered a performance suspended from the ceiling while singing, an experience she described as unforgettable. Reflecting on this, she shared a series of behind-the-scenes photographs on Instagram, including a heartwarming picture featuring her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen.
The photos portrayed a relaxed and supportive atmosphere before the show, with Keough dressed in a Chanel tweed jacket and jeans, while Smith-Petersen donned a casual white t-shirt and black trousers. In accompanying posts, she expressed gratitude to Chanel, saying: “Merci @chanelofficial for being the most fun collaborators. I’ll never forget what it was like to watch a show from the sky in the Grand Palais.” Followers celebrated her participation with supportive comments, many noting how proud her late mother would be.
Riley Keough and Ben Smith-Petersen’s relationship began during the filming of “Mad Max: Fury Road” in Australia, where Smith-Petersen worked as a stuntman. The couple married in 2015 and have one child, a daughter born via surrogacy in 2022. Their daughter, Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen, is named in homage to Keough’s familial legacy.
Smith-Petersen has maintained a career in stunt work, contributing to productions such as the FX series “Grotesquerie” and films like “Furiosa” and “The Suicide Squad.” Keough praised her husband’s work, while also expressing the potential risks associated with his profession.
Keough shared aspects of their relationship journey during an appearance on “LIVE with Kelly and Mark,” describing some of the adventures they embarked on during their early days together. She professed that shortly into their relationship, she realized she had found her life partner.
