John Travolta chooses silences as son Ben’s picture sparks questions about Riley Keough

John Travolta’s  Instagram post featuring a picture of his son has elicited fresh reactions from fans after reports emerged that US actress Riley Keough allegedly donated her eggs to the “Pulp Fiction” star and Kelly Preston, who later used them to welcome their son, Benjamin. 

“My son! This is the start of the new season! Proud of you Ben!,” wrote Travolta in the caption of his son’s photos. 

Thousands of people liked the picture and hundreds of others praised the young man for his skiing talent. 

After coming across the reports based on court documents revealing Riley Keough donated her eggs, some fans asked about the veracity of the claims. 

“I read the news that Ben is the son of Riley Keough. Have you seen the news story?,” wrote a fan in the comments section on December 18. 

Another said, “Looks like he takes after his dad, loves to fly. Just a different way of doing so.” However, the actor has not responded to reports.

Many other users asked the same questions in the comments section Travolta’s post shared five days ago.

Citing a complaint filed by Priscilla Presley’s former business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, PEOPLE reported that she donated her eggs to John Travolta so he and his late wife could have their son Benjamin, who is now 15 years old.

According to the publication, the complaint states that immediately after Lisa Marie’s death in January 2023, the “entire Presley family clamored for control of the estate and for pay-outs, using Plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko as both negotiators and mediators.”
