John Travolta is “beyond happy” to have become a father again.
The ‘Wild Hogs’ actor’s wife Kelly Preston gave birth to
8lbs 3oz Benjamin last week and the family – including their
10-year-old daughter Ella Bleu – have thanked fans for their messages
of congratulations.
Writing on behalf of his family on their website, John said: “We are
overjoyed to announce the arrival of our son, Ella's baby brother,
Benjamin Travolta. Born November23, 2010 in Florida, Benjamin is
healthy and doing beautifully.
“Thank you for the congratulations messages and wishes - we are beyond happy about the newest addition to our family."
Many other celebrities have also passed on their own messages wishing
the family well, with Keisha Whitaker - wife of Oscar winning actor
Forest Whitaker- saying: “We are completely overjoyed about the birth
of Benjamin. We love the Travoltas so much."
Producer Donald Zuckerman -who has worked with Kelly on films including
‘Casino Jack’, and ‘Broken Bridges’, said: “It's absolutely wonderful
that Kelly gave birth to such a big strapping boy, his birthday will be
around Thanksgiving Day, which is wonderful."
The couple also had another son, Jett, who tragically passed away aged
16 almost two years ago when he suffered a seizure while at a family
holiday to the Bahamas.
