WHO IS PRESLEY TANITA TUCKER?
Presley was born a few hours after the fourth of July celebration, in 1989, in Brentwood, TN. She was the first born of her parents, Tanya and Ben Reed, an actor.
The older singer did not disclose Reed’s identity because her pregnancy was out of wedlock, and they were at loggerheads after she became pregnant for Presley.
However, in 1992, when she made one of her music videos with an all-family cast, including the former couple and their two kids, Presley, a 3-year-old, and her younger brother Beau, 11 months old.

Reed and Tanya’s relationship crashed after some time, and she went on to have a third child with another man. While speaking with Larry King in a 2004 interview, she talked about her kids and shared her inspiration behind the name “Presley.” The legendary country star claimed that it was after Elvis Presley and added:
“Yeah, of course. I mean, I loved the name, and I told her that the day — wow, your name is Presley Tucker. I said I love that name. Just has a nice ring to it, you know?”
