Benjamin Travolta; Son Of Late Actress Kelly Preston & John Travolta

Benjamin Travolta is two of the surviving children of American legendary actor and singer, John Travolta and his beloved late wife, Kelly Preston. Travolta is only nine years old, as of July 2020.

The son of Travolta and Preston has been under the limelight for years and recently too for his family’s tragedy that left Hollywood to mourn for the loss of such a talented actress.

Benjamin Travolta’s Birth Was A Miracle

Anyone who knows the story of Benjamin Travolta will easily agree with the birth of Benjamin Travolta being no less than a miracle. After all, he was born just a year after his elder brother, Jett Travolta‘s death, in November 2010.

Jett, a patient of Kawasaki disease with a history of seizures died during a family vacation in the Bahamas. With the aching pain of the loss of their first son, John Travolta and Kelly Preston conceived their second child less than a year later.

The other miraculous thing is the fact that John and Kelly were trying for another baby for years. But, due to old age and health conditions, it was unsuccessful and risky both for the actress. God, however, finally listened to their prayers.
