Lawsuit Alleges Riley Keough Is Parent of Travolta's Son - celebrities news

A lawsuit filed by Priscilla Presley's former business partner is making startling claims regarding the parentage of John Travolta’s youngest son, Ben. The suit alleges that actress Riley Keough is the biological mother of Ben, born in 2009 to Travolta and the late Kelly Preston.

The legal action, filed by Rhonda J. Miller, who previously managed Priscilla Presley’s business affairs, centers around a dispute over inheritance and estate matters. Miller’s allegations against Keough are a surprising element within the larger legal proceedings. Specific details of the claims, such as how Miller obtained this information, are not yet publicly available beyond the lawsuit filing itself.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston welcomed Ben in November 2009. Tragically, Kelly Preston passed away in 2020 after a battle with breast cancer. Ben, along with Travolta’s older children, Ella and Jett (who died in 2009), are currently being raised by Travolta. Jett’s death at age 16 brought immense grief to the family, and Preston’s passing further compounded their loss.

Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough and granddaughter of Elvis Presley, is a well-known actress. The lawsuit’s allegations have quickly garnered significant media attention, though no official response has yet been issued by Travolta, Preston’s estate, or Keough’s representatives. The legal process is expected to unfold over time, and further details will likely emerge as the case progresses. The suit's primary focus remains the estate dispute, with the parentage claim serving as a supporting element within that context.
