Lawsuit alleges Riley Keough donor eggs produced John Travolta's son Ben
Published in Entertainment News
Riley Keough may be the biological mom of John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s son Benjamin, after donating her eggs to the couple, according to a legal filing from Priscilla Presley’s former business associates Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko.
Keough, 36, allegedly “gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta,” according to an amended complaint accusing Keough’s half-uncle Navarone Garcia of breach of contract. The filing was obtained by People and TMZ.
Benjamin, 15, was born in November 2010, nearly two years after his brother Jett, 16, died during a family vacation in January 2009.
The lawsuit claims Keough donated to the “Pulp Fiction” star, now 71, and Preston, who was “unable to bear her own children.” Preston died in July 2020.
As payment, Keough was given an “old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 – $20,000 for the deal,” according to the filing.
Following the January 2023 death of Keough’s mom and Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie, the “entire Presley family clamored for control of the estate and for pay-outs, using Plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko as both negotiators and mediators,” according to the complaint.
The complaint states that Keough’s former stepfather, Michael Lockwood, told Kruse that Travolta and Preston “previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant.”
Lisa Marie was 10 when she and Priscilla joined Scientology — which Travolta has practiced since 1975. Lisa Marie ultimately left the controversial religion in the 2010s.
Though it’s unclear whether Lisa Marie’s alleged egg donations helped produce Jett and 25-year-old Ella, Lockwood alleged that Travolta asked for help in 2010 to “salvage his career amid claims of sexual assault against other men.”
However, the actor “no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs because they did not want ‘eggs with heroin’ on them,” Lockwood claimed, so “they orchestrated a deal” in which Keough would donate her eggs to the couple.
Lockwood hoped the intel would enable Kruse and Fialko “to orchestrate a settlement” for himself and 17-year-old twins Harper and Finley, whom he shared with Lisa Marie.
In a statement to TMZ, Presley’s lawyers Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, dismissed the allegations as “outrageous” and irrelevant to Kruse and Fialko’s beef with Presley, who in July 2024 accused them of financial elder abuse.
Kruse and Fialko’s lawyer Jordan Matthews doubled down that they’re innocent of the allegations against them and are “revealing the truth.”
The pair fired back against Presley in August of this year when they accused her of withdrawing Lisa Marie’s medical care following her 2023 cardiac arrest, to “regain control” of Elvis’ estate.
