Priscilla Presley’ssonNavarone Garibaldi Garciais weighing in on the reported family feud over his late half-sisterLisa Marie Presley’strust.
Since Lisa Marie’s death on Jan. 12 at age 54, sources have told PEOPLE that her mom Priscilla and daughterRiley Keoughhave been at odds over control over her trust, which includes dadElvis Presley’s beloved Graceland mansion and a 15 percent stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE).
“No feud,” he reportedly continued. “We did go to dinner, it went great, it’s all good.”

While a court hearing concerning the trust was previously set for April 13, a judge approved Priscilla’s request to continue it to May 16.
Though Lisa Marie had seemed close with Priscilla at various events celebrating Baz Luhrmann’s Oscar-nominatedElvisbiopic in the weeks leading up to her death, multiple sources have told PEOPLE the two were barely speaking, as their relationship had been fractured since Lisa Marie’s split from ex-husband Michael Lockwood, 61, in 2016.
After the breakup, the exes were embroiled in a nasty custody battle over twin daughters Finley and Harper, 14, that lasted until October of last year. Friends said Lisa Marie resented that Priscilla sided with Michael, and the tension trickled down to Riley. (Her father is Lisa Marie’s first husband, singer Danny Keough, 58.)
“Riley was always on her mom’s side when it came to Michael,” said a Riley source.

Multiple sources said the legal proceedings caused Riley and Priscilla to stop speaking to each other. “They do not see eye to eye,” said a Presley family insider.

If the 2016 amendment is voided in court in May, Priscilla and Riley would possibly be co-trustees.
“Priscilla doesn’t want Riley solely in charge, because then she has no say,” said the family insider. “Meanwhile, Riley doesn’t want Priscilla to butt in.”
Added the Riley source: “It’s a very sad situation. Riley is shocked Priscilla is contesting the amendment.”
In a Feb. 3 statement, Priscilla maintained she is acting with “integrity and love,” and a Lockwood source said the matriarch remains close to Michael to “be a part of her grandchildren’s lives.”

Amid the legal proceedings, sources said Riley has been focused on her acting career — she stars in Amazon Prime Video’s limited seriesDaisy Jones & the Six— and Elvis' first great-grandchild. At her mother’s memorial, Riley’s stuntman husband,Ben Smith-Petersen, revealed that they had had their first child in 2022.
