A newly amended lawsuit has made claims about John Travolta’s family, alleging that his youngest son, Benjamin, is biologically connected to Elvis Presley through Riley Keough.
Riley Keough named as mother of one of John Travolta’s son
The allegations are contained in an amended complaint filed by Priscilla Presley’s ex-business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko. According to court documents obtained by People, the suit claims that after the death of Lisa Marie Presley in January 2023, there was a tussle over control of the Presley estate.
The filing details that Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, approached Kruse with a series of claims. He allegedly stated that “John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, had been unable to bear her own children. And Travolta and Presley previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant.” The complaint does not clarify if the earlier alleged attempt resulted in a child.
The complaint makes its most stunning claim about the couple’s son, Benjamin, now 15. It alleges that in 2010, following the death of Travolta’s son Jett, the actor sought help from the Presley family. Michael Lockwood claimed that Travolta no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs. Additionally, saying they did not want “eggs with heroin” on them.
The document states that “Riley Keough gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta.” In exchange for the egg donation, the filing alleges Keough received an “old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 – $20,000 for the deal.” The suit further claims Lockwood wanted Kruse and Fialko to “use the information to orchestrate a settlement for him and his daughters.”
The complaint also alleges that when Priscilla’s son, Navarone Garcia, learned of this, he “threw a tantrum, demanding that Plaintiffs keep Riley’s and Travolta’s son out of the press.” It was allegedly because “Priscilla promised him that he would be the only male musician in the family and would now be the ‘king.'”
Priscilla Presley’s attorneys, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, fiercely denounced the new allegations in a statement to TMZ. They called the claims “outrageous” and “shameful.” Further stating they “have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case” and are a pressure tactic.
