How Old Is Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood Now?

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood, born on October 7, 2008, is now 14 years old. She was born a twin with her sister, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood. Her parents are Lisa Marie Presley, a singer and the only child of the legendary American singer Elvis Presley and his ex-wife Priscilla Presley, who was an actress and businesswoman, and Michael Lockwood, a guitarist and music producer. Despite her famous lineage, Harper’s parents unfortunately went through a failed marriage.

Harper and her sister are the only children of Lockwood. Their mother, Marie Lisa, had a son named Benjamin Keough who passed away.

As regards her ethnicity, Harper is of German, English, Norwegian, and Scots-Irish ancestry from her mother’s side. Her ethnic extraction from her father’s side remains unclear. However, she is American by nationality.

Born at the Los Robles Regional Medical Center, Thousand Oaks, California, in the United States, Harper spent her early life in Los Angeles where her mother pursued her singing career until her sad demise in 2023. It is also in Los Angeles that she continues to grow.

In 2016, Harper’s parents separated and later divorced in 2021. Prior to their split, Harper and her sister were known to be very close and lived a private life. However, due to the unfortunate circumstances of their parents’ divorce and the prolonged legal disputes that ensued, their lives were brought into the public eye. Harper’s mother subsequently made efforts to protect her daughter’s privacy by keeping them away from the media.

It is not currently known what Harper’s education entails. However, it is known that her older sister was homeschooled while under the care of Marie Lisa. It is unclear whether Harper and her twin sister also received homeschooling or attended traditional schools while under their mother’s care.

The Marriage Between Her Parents Ended After 15 Years

Lisa Marie Presley, Harper’s mother, had a series of unsuccessful relationships throughout her 54 years on earth. Her first marriage to Danny Keough lasted only 6 years. She then married Michael Jackson in 1994, but the marriage ended just two years later in 1996. In 2002, she married Nicolas Cage, but their marriage also ended after just 2 years. Unfortunately, Lisa was not lucky in love.

Following her divorce, Lisa Presley fell in love and married Michael Lockwood in 2006. Initially, their relationship was professional as Presley hired Lockwood as her musical director, paying him $3,500 per week. In 2005, they went public with their romantic relationship, with Presley expressing her belief that she could spend the rest of her life with Lockwood.

Harper’s parents tied the knot in 2006. Two years later, Harper’s mother announced that she was expecting twins who were born in October 2008. The marriage lasted for almost a decade, but in June 2016, Harper’s mother filed for divorce from Lockwood.

The couple remained separated until 2021 when the divorce was finalized after 15 years of marriage. The court documents cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce.

Despite their parents’ differences and a prolonged custody battle for the twin girls, Harper and her sister acted as grooms-women for their father during his wedding to Stephanie Hobgood in Santa Barbara in October 2022.

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood’s Parents Got Locked In a Lengthy Custody Battle 

Since 2016, Lisa and Michael have been involved in a contentious custody dispute over their children, Harper and Finley. During the dispute, Lockwood came under investigation for possible child abuse. In the meantime, Lisa’s mother, Pricilla Presley, has taken temporary custody of the children until the legal situation is resolved between the parents.

There was a rumour after Lisa filed for divorce that the kids were put in foster care, but their grandmother cleared the air that they were under her care and were having a great time. They were left with Priscilla Presley because Lisa checked into rehab as a result of drug addiction, and there was the aforementioned child abuse accusation hanging over their father.

The child abuse case against Lockwood came from Lisa who stated in the divorce papers she filed against her former husband that there were disturbing photos of children found on a computer that belonged to Michael Lockwood. Lisa Marie Presley stated that she was left horrified, shocked, and sick to the stomach when the alleged discoveries were made.

While Harper and her sister remained with their grandma, she revealed that both parents of the girls could see them until the court came to a decision.

When the custody battle came to an end in 2021 when the divorce of Lisa and Michael was finally granted, they were awarded shared custody of their twin girls. However, the guitarist asked that he be awarded $40,0000 spousal support from his former wife because what he made as a musician was very little.

In spite of the shared custody that he was offered with his former wife, it was reported that Michael Lockwood was not satisfied and so he continued fighting for more support even after he got married to the make-up artist, Stephanie Hobgood. The angst of the guitarist against the custody arrangement was that he was given only 40 per cent custody of the two girls while his former wife was given the remaining 60 per cent.

As part of the ruling, Presley was ordered to pay her former husband $4,641 per month in child support. This was arrived at after Lockwood claimed that he was without any major source of income, and was living with his mother and fiancée. Harper’s father claimed that he was depending on his mother’s retirement funds to pay off debts while his ex-wife was making more than $238,000 per month from her father’s estate.

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood Has Three Siblings

 

Harper is one of the only two children from the marriage between her parents who gave birth to the youngster and her twin, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood. However, her mother had had two more kids from her previous marriages; Riley Keough and Benjamin Keough. Meet them:

Riley Keough

The oldest sibling of Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood is Riley Keough. She was born to Lisa Marie Presley and her first husband, Danny Keough. The marriage lasted from 1988 to 1994. Riley was born on 29 May 1989 which means she is currently 34 years old. She is an American actress who has more than 20 films to her credit. She’s been married to Ben Smith-Petersen since 2015.

Riley has a very close relationship with her sisters, Harper and Finley. It is reported that since the death of their mother, she has been very protective of her teenage sisters.

Benjamin Keough

The next of Harper’s siblings was Benjamin Keough. He was a product of Lisa’s marriage to Danny. Benjamin was born on 21 October 1992 in Tampa, Florida, and had a career as an actor until his death via suicide on 2 July 2020 in Calabasas, California. Benjamin was the only grandson of Elvis Presley.

Finley Aaron Love Lockwood

Harper’s last sibling is Finley Aaron Love Lockwood who was born her twin from her mother’s aforementioned marriage to Michael Lockwood. Needless to say, Finely enjoys a great relationship with her sisters.

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood Lost Her Mother in 2023

Harper and her sister as well as other family members were hit with a serious tragedy in January 2023 when her mum, Lisa Marie Presley, died. It was revealed that she suffered a cardiac arrest on the 12th and was taken to the hospital where she died.

At the time of her death, Harper and Finley were only 14 years old and Riley Keough was initially left with the responsibility of caring for the two girls being the oldest of the three sisters.

It is reported that she takes the task rather seriously, most especially as the family is cracked with her and her sisters on one side and Priscilla Presley and Michael Lockwood on the other side, as the family keeps control of Elvis Presley’s fortune worth over a hundred million dollars. It is reported that Riley is trying to do what is best for her twin sisters and protect them from the unending family drama.

While the loss of their mother has been a heavy blow for the sisters, Riley has done so much to help her sisters and protect them.

Who Has Custody of Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood Since Her Mother’s Death?

Before the death of Marie Lisa, Harper, and Finley were living with their mother. But considering their ages at the time of Lisa’s passing, there was the battle for their custody between their older half-sister, Riley Keough, and their father, Michael Lockwood who had the support of Priscilla Presley. The hopes of Riley who has always been protective of Harper and Finely were dashed when Michael Lockwood was given full de facto custody of the girls.

Michael Lockwood was granted full custody of the twin girls following a court hearing at the Los Angeles family court. While the ruling left Riley Keough devastated and furious for losing her sisters to someone she considered an outsider, the grandmother of the girls, Priscilla had no issues with it.

The ruling marked the end of the custody battle for the girls which lasted for six years. While it lasted, Michael was once quoted as saying it was going to be a cold day in hell before he would ever give up fighting to have the girls.

Lisa Left So Much For Harper and Her Sisters

 

With the death of Lisa, it came to light that Lisa left behind so much for Harper and her two other daughters. One of the most significant things Lisa left for her daughters is Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate which was left to her in trust when she lost her father at the age of 9 until she was 25 when the trust dissolved and she was given full ownership.

The King of Rock and Roll’s iconic estate which was left to Lisa after the passing of her father in 1977 has attracted many people some of whom spend the night. The 17,500 sq. ft. (1,626 sq. m) Tennessee estate is said to attract more than six hundred thousand visitors each year and it rakes in more than $10 million annually. It is estimated that the property to be inherited by Harper and her sisters is worth between $400 to $500 million.

She also left for her daughter’s life insurance which was reported to be around $35 million.

The inheritance has not come without causing a family feud between Harper’s older sister, Riley, and her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, as the latter wants to remain as a co-trustee for the estate as against what was discovered in the amended will of Lisa Marie which excluded Priscilla and her former business manager who were co-trustees. Priscilla has decided to challenge the amended will, pitching Riley, Harper, and Finely on one side while she stands on the other.

What Does Lisa Marie Presley’s Daughter Do For a Living?

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood is now 14 years old but the career path she is interested in is not yet known to the public. This is because she has always preferred to stay away from the limelight.

It’s difficult to determine if she has any inclination towards pursuing a musical career like her father, grandfather, or mother. Additionally, given the significant influence of her older sister, Danielle Riley Keough, who is 34 years old, it’s uncertain if she will follow in her footsteps in the acting industry.

It remains to be seen what career path she will choose, despite her twin daughters’ love for ballet and opera.
