John Travolta’s youngest son’s biological mother is Riley Keough, claims new lawsuit

Brigitte Kruse, a former business partner of Priscilla Presley, has made explosive claims in a new lawsuit involving John Travolta, Riley Keough, and Travolta’s youngest son, Ben. Brigitte Kruse alleged that Keough is the biological mother of Ben, claiming that Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used Keough’s eggs to conceive their son, who was born in 2010. The claims were detailed in court documents as reported by Page Six. According to Kruse, Keough allegedly received between $10,000 and $20,000 and an old Jaguar as part of the arrangement.

Kruse further claimed that Keough agreed to provide her eggs after her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley, had previously offered to help Travolta and Preston conceive. Lisa Marie, who died in 2023, was allegedly willing to help after being told by her then-husband, Michael Lockwood, that the couple could not have children naturally.

The lawsuit claims that Travolta and Preston later decided not to use Lisa Marie’s eggs due to concerns about her past drug use. The allegations were included in an amended lawsuit filed by Kruse and Kevin Fialko, former associates of Presley. According to Page Six, the pair had initially filed a $50 million lawsuit against Priscilla’s son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, alleging breach of contract related to disputes over the Presley estate.


The lawsuit also claims that members of the Presley family sought control of the estate and financial payouts following Lisa Marie’s death, using Kruse and Fialko as negotiators and mediators.

According to Page Six, Presley’s attorney, Marty Singer, strongly denied the allegations, calling them false and harmful. He said the claims have nothing to do with the legal issues in the case and accused Kruse of trying to cause pain to Priscilla Presley and her family.

Travolta shares three children with Preston: Jett, who died in 2009, Ella Bleu, and Ben. Preston passed away in 2020 after battling breast cancer. Keough is married to Ben Smith-Petersen and has two children of her own.
