She can’t help falling in love.
Riley Keough knew she wanted to start a family with her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, from their second date.
“When I met my husband, he came out of the gas station on our second date and I thought, ‘I’m going to marry him and have kids with him,'” said Keough, 33. years, on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough has said she can’t see the future but generally knows “some things are going to happen”.
Riley added: “I just knew. We haven’t even said “I love you” yet.
Despite his early premonitions of starting a life together, Riley didn’t dare tell him that she loved him at the time.
“It was definitely not then,” she told Colbert. “I thought, ‘If I tell him now, he’ll leave me here in Australia at the gas station.'”
Luckily for the ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ star, she would marry Smith-Petersen and welcome a daughter with him.
Riley and Smith-Petersen, a professional stuntman, first met in 2012 when they were both working on the movie “Mad Max: Fury Road.” They were reportedly featured on set but didn’t start dating until a year later when the film was re-shooted in Australia.
They announced their engagement in 2014 and, a year later, they married in Napa, California. The news that the duo secretly welcomed their first child together, a girl, made headlines in January.
Smith-Petersen hinted at welcoming a baby with Riley while reading a letter from his wife to the Lisa Marie memorial at Graceland that month.
“Thank you for showing me that love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter like you loved me, like you loved my brother and my sisters,” said Riley’s letter to his late mother.
