A former business associate of Priscilla Presley, Brigitte Kruse, has filed an amended lawsuit claiming that Riley Keough is the biological mother of John Travolta’s youngest son, Ben (born 2010). The suit alleges Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used Keough’s eggs, compensating her with $10,000–$20,000 and a Jaguar. Kruse claims the couple initially considered using Lisa Marie Presley’s eggs but decided against it due to concerns over her past drug use.
The $50 million lawsuit, also involving Kevin Fialko, mainly targets Priscilla Presley’s son Navarone Garibaldi Garcia over alleged estate disputes. Priscilla Presley’s attorney denied the claims, calling them false and “shameful.”
John Travolta and Kelly Preston had three children: Jett (deceased), Ella Bleu, and Ben. Preston died in 2020 from breast cancer.
Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of Elvis Presley, is an actress and producer known for Mad Max: Fury Road, Zola, and Daisy Jones & The Six. She became trustee of Lisa Marie Presley’s estate in 2023 and is married to Ben Smith-Petersen, with whom she has two children.
