AceShowbiz - Riley Keough is "relieved" to have settled her dispute with her grandmother over her mother Lisa Marie Presley's will. Having reached a settlement over her legal battle with Priscilla Presley on Tuesday, May 16, the 33-year-old actress is said to be glad the fight is over because she doesn't want to have any "drama" with her family.
"Riley is relieved to have settled the dispute over her mom's estate. She doesn't want any drama with her grandmother," a source told PEOPLE. "She was hoping they could reach a settlement quickly."
Details of the agreement, which is set to be sealed in an additional hearing on Friday, August 4, were not disclosed in court, but TMZ reported Priscilla was awarded "millions," whilst Riley's lawyer Justin Gold told CNN she is "very content."
Following the news of the settlement, attorney Ronson J Shamoun, who represented Priscilla, said on Tuesday at a court hearing in Los Angeles, "The parties would like to report that they've reached a settlement. The families are happy. Everyone is happy, unified, together, and excited for the future."
Priscilla, who was married to rock and roll legend Elvis Presley from 1967 until 1973, was recently on tour with her "An Evening With Priscilla" tour. When speaking to the audience at one of the dates, she insisted that things were "fine" between herself and her granddaughter and insisted that rumors of a family rift were "not true."
Riley was reported to be locked in a legal battle over the $35 million will left by her mother Lisa with her grandmother Priscilla after the singer cut her out of it and made the "Daisy Jones & The Six" star her sole heir. Lisa herself passed away at the age of 54 in January 2023 following a brief hospitalization due to a cardiac arrest.
