John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s son, Benjamin Travolta, turned 14 recently, and his family took to social media to celebrate. John posted a photo of the birthday boy and his dog Peanut, as they shared a touching candid moment. “Your dad loves you! And so does Peanut!” the proud dad wrote.
His sister Ella Bleu also took to Instagram with a dreamy shot of Benjamin in a boat. The backdrop looked gorgeous with still blue water, sunset, and a silhouette of the hills behind. Fans took to the comments under both posts, joining the Travolta to wish their youngest a happy birthday.
Fans can hardly recognize John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s son
Fans were shocked at how much Benjamin had grown and did not fail to express this in the comments. “OMG Ben is so grown, happy birthday, Ben!!” someone exclaimed. “Hope you had a wonderful time with your dad, Ella, and your beloved ones. You’re a handsome young man. May all your dreams come true,” another added.
John also received praise for being an awesome dad, especially after losing the mother of his kids, Kelly Preston. “This is such a precious picture of your sweet son Ben & his dog Peanut. Happy Birthday, Ben. My pup’s name is Peanut also… You’re such a loving dad, John,” a kind follower penned.
John Travolta had to have difficult conversation with Benjamin
After Kelly died of breast cancer in 2020, John had a tough conversation with their son, Benjamin, who feared dying too. He explained to the then-10-year-old that his mother was a different case and anyone could pass away at any time. He also advised Benjamin to make the most of life while he can.

Benjamin was also curious about what life is like at 70, and John admitted it felt unbelievable. Like his dad, Benjamin might also pursue a career in show business like his sister is currently doing. Ella Bleu is also a singer and model, having made her New York Fashion Week runway debut with Karl Lagerfeld.
