"There were things that he had that she didn’t have. Like, she didn’t have a plane at the time, you know things like that," Keough said.

"She was then like, ‘Oh, I should have a plane. I should have this and that.’ So, our life in that way kind of got bigger,” she added.

Ril, whose father is Danny Keough, highlighted the contrast between her mother’s life before and after the marriage.
