Priscilla Presley has confirmed she’s caring for her daughter Lisa Marie Presley‘s twins amid her messy divorce from Michael Lockwood.
“There is lots of confusion, commotion, and concern from all the talk circulating. Let me put this to rest… the girls have not been in foster care and never will be. The girls have been with me and will be until all this is sorted out,” the 71-year-old star captioned a photo of Lisa Marie’s eight-year-old girls, Finley and Harper in a Sunday, Feb. 19 Facebook post.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your positive support,” Priscilla wrote in another Facebook post.

Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Lisa Marie’s estranged husband, Michael, 55, is now facing charges of child abuse and neglect. In court papers, the 49-year-old singer claimed Michael is the subject of criminal investigations involving hundreds of inappropriate photos of children that authorities recently found on his electronic devices.

“[I was] shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach,” Lisa Marie said in court documents of her reaction to finding the images on Michael’s computer. Rumors then swirled the couple’s two daughters were in protective custody, though Priscilla has now put that gossip to rest.

This is Elvis Presley‘s daughter’s fourth failed marriage. Lisa Marie was previously hitched to Danny Keough — with whom she has a 27-year-old daughter, Riley, and a 24-year-old son, Benjamin — from 1988 to 1994, to the late Michael Jackson from 1994 until 1996 and to Nicolas Cage from 2002 to 2004.
