Riley Keough has quite the famous and storied family to pull inspiration from when it comes to parenting lessons.
The Daisy Jones & the Six actress became a mom just over two years ago, when she welcomed daughter Tupelo Storm via surrogacy with her husband Ben Smith-Petersen.
The doting mom's own parents are the late Lisa Marie Presley and her ex-husband Danny Keough, her grandparents Elvis and Priscilla Presley, and she's just shared how they have all inspired her parenting style.
Per People, Riley, speaking in Los Angeles during a book tour for From Here to the Great Unknown, her mother's memoir that she helped finish, opened up about her parenting style. "I think that I always say it's this southern style of parenting, but it's actually very specifically my family," she first noted.
She explained: "I think it is from the south, but whatever way [my mom] was parented was how I was parented in a sense. And I also now sort of parent that way."
Riley detailed much about her family's parenting style in her mother's book, and further shared: "It's really loving and tactile and smothering — no boundaries."

It was during Lisa Marie's funeral in Graceland, her father's famed Tennessee estate, in January 2023 that Riley revealed for the first time that she had welcomed her first child.

Speaking about how the name first came to be when she first revealed it to Vanity Fair last year, Riley admitted that they chose the name Tupelo before the Baz Luhrmann Elvis biopic came out, and explained: "I was like, 'This is great because it's not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family' –– it's not like Memphis or something," before joking: "Then when the Elvis movie came out, it was like, Tupelo this and Tupelo that. I was like, 'Oh, no.' But it's fine."
