Lisa Marie Presley has made a series of shocking revelations and admissions in her posthumous memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, and one of them is how she trapped her ex-husband Danny Keough by getting pregnant with their daughter Riley Keough.
In a candid revelation, the late singer shared that after making what she described as “the stupidest decision” of her life by having an abortion, she devised a plan to conceive with her then-boyfriend Danny Keough.
She admitted to “planning, plotting, and scheming” to ensure she was ovulating during a visit to join Keough on a cruise ship, where his band was performing at the time.
“I didn’t care if he wanted to be a part of it or not. I felt that I had to redeem, to make amends, because I still couldn’t believe I had had an abortion,” Presley wrote, as per People.
“I thought, I’m going to have this child. There is a child I need to be having.”
She continued, “I would be talking to the lost child, saying, ‘I’m so sorry, I can’t believe I f–king did that. Please forgive me and stay with me until I get pregnant again.’”
After two weeks, Presley got to know that she was pregnant with Riley, who was born in May 1989.
In the memoir, Elvis Presley’s daughter admitted “trapping” Danny with the pregnancy, writing, “I didn’t really mean to, but I did.”
Lisa Marie and Danny’s marriage lasted from 1988 to 1994.
