Raquel Leviss joined Vanderpump Rules initially as James Kennedy’s girlfriend but is now striking out on her own. Raquel has provided fans with a more personal glimpse into her life and family since joining the cast as a series regular in Season 9.

The reality star is far more forthcoming about her family than ever before and has opened up about them in the show. She revealed that her parents adopted her and her dynamics with her siblings, especially her sister.

Leviss was getting ready for her marriage to Kennedy (which has since been called off) in the ninth season of the popular reality series on Bravo. She frequently discussed her family and her close bond with her parents during this time.

Raquel Leviss was adopted by her parents

Leviss is candid about her adoption story, especially in the Vanderpump Rules episode airing on October 19, 2021. She informed the audience that she was adopted in infancy, and her sister Kate was born first to her birth mother, Susan.

She explained that her birth mom Susan had an unplanned pregnancy while already having two kids —  Kate and David, Leviss’ siblings. At the same time, Susan’s sister and Leviss’ then-aunt, Laura, were attempting to be pregnant.

Unfortunately, getting pregnant with a child of her own was not in Laura’s cards. As a result, Susan gave Leviss to Laura, who then adopted the reality TV star as her own daughter.

“My biological mom, Susan, gave birth to Kate before me. And then Susan accidentally got pregnant again right around the time my aunt, Laura, was trying to conceive. Susan was generous enough to offer to have me for my aunt,” Leviss explained in the show.

Leviss calls Laura her mom whereas she calls Susan by her name. She uploaded several pictures of herself with her loved ones on October 22, 2021, including both of her parents. 

She described her family history and background in the caption, expressing her deep thanks and admiration for her upbringing. Raquel captioned the photo, saying, “My mom Laura (pictured in slide 2) couldn’t conceive so when her younger sister Susan had an unplanned pregnancy with me, she offered to have me for my mom!”

She then gushed about how she was lucky to be raised by “such loving parents.” She wrote, “I thank my lucky stars I was raised by such loving parents. I know I have the best dad ever (pictured in slide 5) and my mom has been such a momma bear to me my whole life.”

She appreciated how her family pushed her to be the better version of herself. “When I was a teenager, my mom encouraged me to pursue modeling and to step out of my comfort zone through pageants. I love my family so much,” she gushed.

However, not much is known about Leviss’ parents. Laura, her adoptive mom, and her unidentified father appear to value their privacy. 

Even though Laura’s Instagram account is private, it is clear from her bio that she is a home stager, an individual who prepares a house for sale.

Leviss’ parents and her half-siblings were also introduced to Vanderpump Rules for the first time in the ninth season. Susan gave birth to Leviss’ sister ten years before the reality TV show was conceived. 

Leviss did not grow up with her sister Kate and brother David. As a result, they were not always close. 

Leviss noted, “Kate and I weren’t always close. You know, we didn’t have a lot in common.” However, in recent years, Kate has stepped up and become a sister to her.

“But Kate has kind of stepped into my life a little bit more. She wants to be that big sister role to me,” she appreciated. 

Leviss provided an update on her relationship with her sister and advised the pair during her appearance with James on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

“She’s good. It’s a sisterly love, you know,” Raquel pointed out. “She just wants the best for me, and she wants to know that James is treating me right.”

Meg Ryan has two children —  a son, Jack Quaid, whom she shares with her former husband, Dennis Quaid, and her adopted child, Daisy True Ryan.

In 2006, Meg adopted Daisy True Ryan, a little girl from China who had been abandoned at an orphanage. Since then, Meg has been a committed and loving mother to her daughter and has used her platform to raise awareness about adoption.

The actress is a proud mother of two and often gushes about her kids wherever she can. Here is all we know about Meg and her daughter, including  Daisy True’s age and Daisy True bio.

Meg Ryan’s story of adopting her daughter

Daisy True was born in China in 2004 and was abandoned at an orphanage shortly after her birth. Meg first saw a picture of her daughter and was immediately drawn to her.

Meg did not technically find Daisy. She confessed that the adoption process in East Asian countries included a lottery system, and children were randomly assigned. 

The actress simply yearned for a baby and wanted to adopt an American child. But one thing led to another, and she even planned on going to India.

However, on her way to India, she received a picture of Daisy True, and since then, she fell in love with her adopted child. Meg is convinced that there was nothing random about her daughter being assigned to her. Instead, they were meant to be together.

She knew that she wanted to adopt her and give her a loving home. The adoption process was kept private, and Meg announced the arrival of her new daughter through her representative. 

Meg was overwhelmed with emotion on the day she brought Daisy True home. “I never laughed harder or cried more…I was so nervous about the whole thing,” she said of the adoption process.

Since adopting Daisy True, Meg has been incredibly private about her daughter’s life. There are very few interviews or pictures of Daisy True out in the public sphere, and Meg has been committed to giving her daughter a sense of normalcy despite their celebrity status.

However, Meg has spoken candidly about her daughter in the past and has shared how much she has enriched her life. In an interview with Redbook (via People), Meg said, “Adopting my daughter – that’s just been the biggest joy of my life. She’s opened me up to a whole new world.”

Meg has also been a vocal advocate for adoption and has used her platform to raise awareness about the importance of giving children a loving home. In a 2010 interview with InStyle, Meg Ryan said, “If you have the time and the love, it’s a really fulfilling thing to do.”

Adoption has been a significant part of Meg’s life since she was a child. Her mother, Susan Jordan, was also adopted, and the actress has said that it has always been a part of her family’s story. 

She has described adoption as a “miracle,” and has encouraged others who are considering adoption to take the leap and make a difference in a child’s life.

In addition to being a dedicated mother to Daisy True, Meg has also been involved in various charitable organizations that support adoption. She has been a longtime supporter of the organization Half the Sky, which works to improve the lives of orphaned and abandoned children in China. 

She has also been involved with the Adopt-A-Classroom organization, which provides funds to teachers and classrooms in need. 

As said before, not much is known about Daisy True since her mother has kept her out of the public eye. However, as of 2023, Daisy True’s age is speculated to be 17.

She shares a good bond with her mother as well as her brother, Jack. Most of the time, the mother-daughter duo are photographed together while shopping, having lunch, or attending events.

Jack often posts pictures with her and calls Daisy True his “little sister.”

Finley Aaron Love Lockwood is related to the Presley family. Although her first and last names do not reveal her royal rock n’ roll heritage, her middle name ‘Aaron’ gives a hint. 

Finley, along with her twin sister Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood, is Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter with her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood, and the granddaughter of the King of Rock n Roll himself.

Despite being the granddaughter of the legendary Elvis Presley, Finley and her siblings have largely stayed out of the spotlight and away from public scrutiny. Recent news of the daughter of the late singer Elvis’s daughter’s death has resurfaced in the family once again on the internet. 

Lisa Marie, who died on January 12, 2023, due to cardiac arrest, was a devoted and protective mother to her children, including Finley. Here are some more details on Finley’s parent’s relationship with her children. 

Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and her sister were seen with their father 

Lisa Marie’s mourning twin daughters were spotted in public for the first time since their mother’s unfortunate and unexpected death. Normally, on February 1, Harper and Finley would have celebrated their mother’s birthday with their older sister Riley and grandmother Priscilla. 

On the day that would have been Lisa Marie’s 55th birthday, the twins spent time with their father, Michael Lockwood, and appeared to be handling the situation with courage and strength. 

However, due to Lisa Marie’s sudden passing three weeks earlier, the girls had to spend the day commemorating her memory while still trying to come to terms with her loss. 

As mentioned by Daily Mail, the two girls were spotted at a local café, where they seemed to be holding up well despite the difficult circumstances. They purchased cold drinks before leaving in their father’s SUV.

Harper opted for a comfortable and casual outfit, wearing black Uggs, a green short-sleeved button-up shirt over a black body suit, and a yellow Starface pimple patch on her forehead. This particular patch has gained popularity among celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Millie Bobby Brown. 

Lisa Marie Presley was a mother of four, including Finley Aaron Love Lockwood 

Lisa Marie was also a devoted mother of four. Her parenting style was marked by affection and care, but she faced the challenge of ensuring that her children did not become consumed by their grandfather’s fame. 

Lisa Marie had two children, Riley Keough, and Benjamin Keough, with her former husband, musician Danny Keough, to whom she was married from 1988 to 1994. Later, she wedded Michael Lockwood, a musician and producer, and they had two twin daughters together, Finley and Harper. 

Unfortunately, Benjamin passed away in 2020, which was a devastating blow for Lisa Marie. However, she was grateful to have her three daughters, whom she described as her reason for persevering. 

As mentioned by The Things, in a post commemorating National Grief Awareness Day, she revealed that continuing to live was a daily challenge that required a conscious choice. The extent of her pain and resilience is beyond imagination.

She made sure to give them a normal upbringing, despite being surrounded by fame and prioritized their happiness and well-being. She and her children shared a close bond, and Lisa 

Marie was known to be both their best friend and mother. She remained close to her children, even when they were apart, and her love and protection for them mirrored the care she received from her father, Elvis.
