When Keough was five years old, her parents divorced, and her mother was briefly married to Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996.[8] Of her upbringing, Keough said that she "grew up very privileged with my mother, but my dad didn't live like that. And I think experiencing both sides has been helpful. My father had mattresses on the floor of his apartments. He lived in cabins and trailer parks. He just didn't have much money... Actually, my memories of growing up with him were so colourful and eccentric and fun. It was a good vibe, you know? When I was like eight I told him, 'I want to grow up and be poor like you!' He was eating a bowl of cereal. I didn't realize how wildly offensive that was!"[8]
Keough was raised primarily by her father in Hawaii and Los Angeles,[13] though she at times lived at her mother's Los Angeles home, as well as at the Graceland Estate in Memphis, Tennessee, which her mother inherited following her grandfather Elvis's death.[8] She is now the sole guardian of the estate and presides over the sub-trusts of her siblings, each inheriting one-third of their mother's estate including Graceland and the Elvis estate.[14]
In 2002, when Keough was 13 years old, her mother married actor Nicolas Cage,[8] though this marriage was also short-lived, lasting 107 days before Cage filed for divorce.
