John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s kids: Meet Jett, Ella and Benjamin

9 hours ago 3

John Travolta is a hopelessly devoted family man.

Before his wife, Kelly Preston, died after battling breast cancer in 2020, the couple welcomed three children together — son Jett, daughter Ella and son Benjamin.

In December 2025, a bombshell lawsuit claimed Elvis Presley’s eldest granddaughter, Riley Keough, is the biological mother of the couple’s youngest child.

Priscilla Presley’s former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, claimed Keough was given between $10,000 and $20,000 — as well as a Jaguar — to donate her eggs to the couple.

While Travolta and Keough did not address the headlines, Priscilla called Kruse’s allegations “shameful.”
