Suit Alleges John Travolta’s Son is Elvis Presley’s Great-Grandson via Egg Donation
Recent legal filings claim that John Travolta’s youngest son, Ben, is the great-grandson of Elvis Presley. The allegation stems from an egg donation involving Riley Keough, Elvis’s granddaughter and daughter of Lisa Marie Presley. The lawsuit is part of ongoing disputes involving Priscilla Presley and her former business associates.
Details of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit was filed by Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, who allege that Priscilla Presley’s son, Navarone Garcia, breached a contract. It was filed in Los Angeles County and includes serious allegations against Priscilla Presley, including fraud and breach of contract.
Egg Donation Allegations
The claim alleges that Riley Keough received between $10,000 and $20,000, along with an old Jaguar, in exchange for her egg donation that resulted in the birth of Ben Travolta in 2013. The lawyers for Kruse and Fialko stated that there were earlier discussions involving an egg donation from Lisa Marie Presley. However, this option was abandoned.
- Ben Travolta was born in November 2010.
- Riley Keough is the granddaughter of Elvis Presley.
- Allegations include payment for the egg donation.
- The donation was reportedly necessary for Kelly Preston, Travolta’s late wife, to conceive.
In their filings, Kruse and Fialko mentioned that Travolta refused an earlier donation option, citing undesired associations. They claim a handwritten note on hotel stationery detailing the agreement between Travolta and Keough serves as evidence in the case.
Background on the Travolta Family
Ben Travolta is the youngest child of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. The couple had two other children. Tragically, their first son, Jett, passed away in 2009 at the age of 16 due to a seizure during a family vacation. Preston herself died on July 12, 2020, after battling breast cancer.
Public Responses and Legal Tensions
Representatives for Travolta, Keough, and Garcia did not respond to requests for comments on these allegations. Priscilla Presley’s attorney, Marty Singer, labeled the allegations by Kruse and Fialko as “shameful.” He stated that the claims reflect a broader effort to exert pressure on Priscilla Presley regarding separate valid claims.
Key Takeaways
