John Travolta and Kelly Preston welcomed their third child, a healthy 8 lb., 3 oz boy named Benjamin, on Tuesday in their home state of Florida. Travolta, 56, and Preston, 48, are also parents to daughter Ella Bleu, 10. They tragically lost their 16 year-old son, Jett, in January of last year after he suffered a fatal seizure.
John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are parents to son Benjamin, who was born Tuesday in a Florida hospital.
The baby weighed 8 lbs., 3 oz.
“John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family,” they say in a statement. “Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully.”
Preston, 48, told PEOPLE recently that the entire family was in major preparation mode for their new addition as her pregnancy neared its end.
“I’ve been cleaning out everything in the house,” Preston said in September. “Ella has been helping too. She’s looking forward to being a big sister.”

There’s been plenty of speculation that Kelly is somehow “faking” her pregnancy while she’s secretly using a surrogate. I think those stories are untrue and frankly pretty mean, although I wouldn’t doubt that Kelly used an egg donor. (Let’s face it, the rumors are based on a blind item, one photo of pregnant Kelly leaning against a counter, and claims about John’s orientation, primarily by one guy who is shilling a book.) Last week’s National Enquirer had a speculative story wondering who the egg donor could be, but it didn’t seem based on any solid information and just offered a bunch of other high profile female Scientologists, like Jenna Elfman and Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter Riley Keough, 21, as possibilities. It’s just as likely that Kelly hired an egg donor who shared her physical characteristics.
Congratulations to John and Kelly on their new arrival! This is touching news and they must be overjoyed. I bet Ella is going to be a huge help to her mom with the new baby.
