You Won’t Believe How Much John Travolta & Kelly Preston’s Son Has Changed – See the Shocking Photos!
Fans are buzzing over recent photos of John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s son, Benjamin Travolta, shared online. These photos come three years after John shared a heartfelt story about a conversation he had with Benjamin about his mother’s death.
John’s son, Benjamin, just turned 14, and to celebrate, his dad and sister, Ella Bleu Travolta, posted sweet messages on Instagram. These posts sparked a flood of comments from fans, who couldn’t believe how much Benjamin has grown.
John shared a heartwarming photo of Benjamin, who wore a black t-shirt while getting affectionate licks from the family dog. “Happy birthday my Ben. Your dad loves you! And so does Peanut!” John captioned the image.
Ella’s post featured Benjamin sitting on a boat, looking out at a sunset with mountains in the background. He wore a blue t-shirt, and his hair was longer than in John’s photo. Ella wrote, “Happy Birthday Benjamin!!!!!! I love you❤️.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments, showering Benjamin with birthday wishes. One fan wrote, “Happy Birthday Ben 🎂🥳🎉you are looking so grown up 🧑🏼Peanut is giving you sweet kisses! 🐶🥰.” Another fan commented, “Happy 14th Birthday Ben! You have become such a handsome young man.🥳.” Others were amazed at how much Benjamin has changed, with one saying, “Omg i didn’t even recognize him. He has changed in the last few years.”
Some fans noticed a sad expression on Benjamin’s face in Ella’s photo, with one writing, “He looks so sad! 😞,” before wishing him well. Another fan said, “Such a beautiful mix of the two of you. Happy birthday precious Ben!”
Though Benjamin’s mother, Kelly Preston, passed away in 2020, her memory lives on through her family. John and Ella often share posts remembering her. On Mother’s Day 2024, John posted three photos of Kelly being a loving mom to all her children, including Jett, who tragically passed away in 2009.
Kelly passed away at the age of 57 after a two-year battle with breast cancer. A year after her death, John opened up about a deep conversation he had with Benjamin. John recalled how Benjamin expressed fear that he might lose his father too, saying, “Because mom passed away, I’m afraid you’re going to.”
John reassured Benjamin, explaining that life is unpredictable and that no one knows when they might pass away. He encouraged Benjamin to live life fully, appreciating every moment.
Since Kelly’s death, John has been a single parent to Benjamin and Ella. He often shares updates about his children on social media. In June 2024, John posted a picture of himself and his kids enjoying a relaxing drive in a vintage car, wishing all fathers a Happy Father’s Day.
Benjamin was born in 2010 when Kelly was in her late 40s. She had struggled for years to get pregnant and was overjoyed when she finally conceived. Kelly described her son as peaceful and sweet, and John said that Benjamin brought new purpose to their lives after losing Jett.
Seven weeks after Benjamin was born, John and Kelly introduced their son to the world, calling him a “miracle.” They were grateful for the joy he brought into their lives and saw him as a way to heal after the loss of their first son, Jett.
Kelly raised Benjamin until he was in his preteen years before her passing. After her death, John shared the news on Instagram, thanking those who supported them during such a difficult time. He also expressed his gratitude for the love and support his family received as they navigated the journey of healing.
In November 2023, as Benjamin turned 13, Ella posted a throwback photo of him as a toddler, celebrating how much he had grown. John also shared videos and pictures of Benjamin, expressing disbelief that his son was already a teenager. “Ben turns 13 today. I love you, my son!” he wrote in his caption.
