Devoted dad John Travolta\u2019s 15-year-old son, Ben, is the biological offspring of Elvis Presley\u2019s granddaughter Riley Keough, according to a bombshell lawsuit<\/a>. But sources tell the National Enquirer that wasn\u2019t the first time the Saturday Night Fever stud allegedly relied on the Presley clan\u2019s eggs to produce one of his beloved children.<\/p>\n

The late Lisa Marie Presley purportedly donated her eggs to help Travolta, 71, and his now deceased wife, Kelly Preston, conceive son Jett, sources tell the Enquirer. Jett, who was born on April 13, 1992, tragically died in January 2009 at age 16 after suffering a seizure and hitting his head on a bathtub during a family vacation in the Bahamas.<\/p>\n

\u201cLisa Marie was very close to John, and she wanted to help him and Kelly, who couldn\u2019t bear children,\u201d a source tells the Enquirer. \u201cThink about it: They named him Jett \u2014 Elvis Presley loved jets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years later, Lisa Marie again wanted to help John and Kelly, according to the lawsuit. Michael Lockwood, who was married to Lisa Marie from 2006 to 2021, allegedly claimed the proposed baby deal went south as Travolta \u201cno longer wanted to use Lisa Marie\u2019s eggs\u201d because the grieving couple \u201cdid not want \u2018eggs with heroin\u2019 on them,\u201d the complaint states, referring to the troubled scion\u2019s opioid addiction. (Lockwood denies the allegations lobbed in the lawsuit, telling Daily Mail<\/a>, \u201cThat just sounds crazy. I have not heard anything about it.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Apparently, that\u2019s when Travolta and Preston turned to Keough to have Ben. The document charges that the parties \u201corchestrated a deal where Riley gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son Ben Travolta,\u201d in November 2010 in exchange for an \u201cold Jaguar\u201d and a payout between $10,000 and $20,000.<\/p>\n

Included in the lawsuit exhibits are a handwritten note on hotel stationery detailing the alleged deal with Keough, now 36, and a screen shot of a text message photograph showing Travolta, daughter Ella and Ben with a caption addressed to Priscilla Presley \u2014 who allegedly brokered the whole deal \u2014 stating, \u201cThere\u2019s your beautiful great-grandson, his stunningly talented sister and your buddy John.\u201d (Also in the exhibits: Navarone Garcia\u2019s apparent attack on his half sister Lisa Marie.)<\/p>\n

According to the source, Ben was said to be named after Lisa Marie\u2019s son and Riley\u2019s brother, Benjamin Keough, who would die by suicide in 2020 at age 27.<\/p>\n

Priscilla\u2019s pitbull lawyers Marty Singer and Wayne Harman refute the bombshell claims in the lawsuit, stating to TMZ<\/a>, \u201cBrigitte [Kruse] and her co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kruse and Kevin Fialko \u2014 who are Priscilla\u2019s former business partners and behind the lawsuit \u2014 aren\u2019t backing down. Their high-powered attorney Jordan Matthews says his clients are \u201cheartbroken that they have been forced to file their most recent amended complaint,\u201d adding, \u201cWe will let the facts and the truth speak for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the Enquirer previously reported, the bare-knuckle legal brawl between Priscilla and her former colleagues erupted in July 2024 when she filed an elder abuse lawsuit against Kruse and Fialko in California, alleging that she was duped into forming a business that would \u201cdrain her of every last penny.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, Kruse and Fialko \u2014 who denied the accusations \u2014 slammed her with a 211-page countersuit<\/a> claiming Priscilla will \u201cexploit\u201d anyone to satisfy her \u201cthirst for money,\u201d including quickly pulling 54-year-old Lisa Marie off life support on Jan. 12, 2023, in an alleged bid to collect on a $25 million insurance policy.<\/p>\n

Priscilla\u2019s lawyer Singer vehemently denied the allegations, calling the legal action \u201cone of the most shameful, ridiculous, salacious, and meritless lawsuits I have seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court battle, says the source, \u201cis just getting wilder and wilder. What will Kruse and Fialko allege next? The latest claims that Lisa Marie and Riley gave their eggs to the Travoltas are truly explosive \u2014 and the repercussions will be felt for a long time to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
