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

John Travolta posted a picture of his son on Instagram, after reports emerged that American actress Riley Keough donated her egg to the “Pulp Fiction” star and Kelly Preston, who later used it to welcome their son Benjamin.

“My son! This is the beginning of the new season! You are proud of Ben!,” wrote Travolta in the caption of the photos of his son.

Thousands of people have liked the photo and hundreds more have praised the young man for his skiing skills.

After receiving reports based on court documents showing Riley Keough donated her eggs, some fans questioned the truth of the claim.

“I read the news that Ben is Riley Keough’s son. Did you see the news story?” wrote a fan in the comments section on December 18.

Another said, “Looks like he takes after his father, likes to fly. Another way to do it.” However, the actor did not respond to the news.

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

Citing a complaint filed by Priscilla Presley’s former business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, PEOPLE reported that she donated her eggs to John Travolta so that 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 the death of Lisa Marie in January 2023, “the entire Presley family announced that they were in control of the property and payments, using the plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko both as negotiators and mediators.”
