Riley Keough Named as Alleged Biological Mother of John Travolta’s Son in Court Docs

Riley Keough has been linked to a shocking new claim that she is the biological mother of John Travolta’s youngest son, Ben. According to court documents obtained by Page Six on December 17, the claim comes from a lawsuit filed by Brigitte Kruse, a former business partner of Priscilla Presley.

Kruse alleges that Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used Keough’s eggs to conceive Ben, who was born in 2010.

The documents state that Keough, now 36, reportedly received between $10,000 and $20,000 and an old Jaguar as part of the arrangement.

The filing also claims that Keough agreed to provide her eggs after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, initially offered hers to Travolta and Preston. Kruse alleges that Lisa Marie later withdrew and that Travolta and Preston decided not to use her eggs due to concerns about her past drug use.

These claims were included in an amended lawsuit originally filed by Kruse and Kevin Fialko against Priscilla Presley’s son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, over breach of contract. The lawsuit states that the Presley family “clamoured for control of the estate and for pay-outs, using plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko as both negotiators and mediators” following Lisa Marie Presley’s death in 2023.

Priscilla Presley’s lawyer, Marty Singer, has strongly denied the allegations in a statement to Us Weekly. He said, “Kruse has 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.” He also added, “These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case. They are shameful.”

Neither Riley Keough’s nor John Travolta’s representatives have responded to requests for comment. Travolta, 71, shares three children with Kelly Preston: their late son Jett, daughter Ella Bleu, 25, and Ben, 15. Preston passed away in July 2020 after a battle with breast cancer.

This allegation is serious and could have major implications if proven true, though it remains unverified. At this stage, it is important to remember that court filings are claims and not proven facts.
