John Travolta and Kelly Preston Welcome Baby Boy!
John Travolta and Kelly Preston welcome baby boy!
Kelly Preston gave birth to a baby boy!
John Travolta and Kelly announced the birth of their third child, who they named Benjamin.
Benjamin was born at a hospital in Florida on Tuesday evening weighing 8 lbs. 3 oz., according to a statement from Travolta’s publicist.
“John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully,” the statement said.
John, 56 and Kelly, 48, must be thrilled with the new addition. The couple suffered much pain after their autistic son Jett died of a seizure in January 2009 while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas.
They spent a year out of the public spotlight grieving for Jett. The family was also the victim of an alleged $25 million extortion plot over the death that ended in a mistrial for those accused.
Congratulations to John and Kelly!

Anne Miller commented on Nov 24 10 at 5:45 pmI am so happy for your family. I had a name suggestion for you which in a small way honors Jett. I thought you could name the new baby Skye since John loves to fly and Jett had that lovely unique name. Benjamin is great, too.

Love Ya’ll

Adella Morello commented on Nov 25 10 at 1:03 amDear John and Kelly, I truly hope that you will have a very happy thanksgiving, May God bless your family. I have allways had a great respect for John ever since the time that I actually got to meet him in Miami,Fla at “Chalks” Airport. I was the lady with the hotdog cart and I actually served him and his crew lunch. I wish I still had the picture that was taken of John,my son James,and myself back in 1985. It was one of those once in a life time moments! All My Love,Adella
