Benjamin Travolta was born in Florida on November 23, 2010. He is the son of John Travolta and late wife, Kelly Preston, but a new lawsuit contains explosive allegations that his biological mother is the granddaughter of Elvis Presley.
He has two siblings – a brother Jett, who tragically died at 16 in 2009, and a sister Ella Bleu, 25.
Ben has rarely made public appearances as far as Hollywood is concerned, but he did hit the red carpet with his family for the red carpet screening of Solo: A Star Wars Story during the Cannes Film Festival in May 2018 in Cannes, France.
Elsewhere, he is a frequent fixture on social media, with father John proudly posting him on social media, along with his own account where he shares climbing videos.
“Happy Birthday my dear Ben! I can’t believe how quickly you’ve grown up! I love you!” John just posted a few weeks ago.
“Happy new year from the Travolta family,” John shared in a family photo.
“Ain’t no mountain high enough for my son Ben. Love from Norway,” John recently shared this year, captioning a video of his young son climbing a snowy mountain outside.
He’s also paid tribute to his son in sweet posts, including a birthday post in 2023: “I can’t believe my baby boy is now a teenager. Ben turns 13 today. I love you my son!”
John frequently posted encouragements to his followers to follow his son Ben on social media, especially as his handles changed over the years.
John‘s also put Ben‘s athleticism on display, showing his climbing skills and skiing abilities.
“Ben just achieved a level 3 ninja and I’m so proud,” he wrote in one Instagram post.
“Ben’s summer snow ski adventures in the southern hemisphere!” he wrote in another.
“This was my favorite birthday gift today. Seeing my son Ben ski to a new level! I’m so proud of him,” he added in another post.
John has also shared several TikToks with his son.
