John Travolta’s Youngest Son Is Biologically the Great-Grandson of Elvis Presley, Lawsuit Claims

There have been plenty of wild stories about both John Travolta and the Presley family over the years. This next one, however, is on a whole other level.

A lawsuit filed by Priscilla Presley's former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, against Priscilla's son, Navarone Garcia, includes this allegation: that John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used eggs from actress Riley Keough, Priscilla's granddaughter, to conceive their son Ben. This claim was reported by TMZ.

If proven true, this would mean that Travolta's youngest child is biologically the great-grandson of the King of Rock and Roll. 

John Travolta Didn't Want Lisa Marie Presley's Eggs

The lawsuit further alleges that, at an earlier time, Travolta and Preston had attempted to use Lisa Marie Presley's eggs to become pregnant. It is unconfirmed if Lisa Marie's eggs ever produced a child. However, Travolta and Preston didn't want to use them anymore because they didn't want "eggs with heroin" on them. 

But then a deal was allegedly put together in which Keough gave her eggs to Travolta and Preston. In exchange, Keough allegedly received an old Jaguar and between $10,000-$20,000. 

One of Keough's eggs allegedly resulted in Travolta's now-15-year-old son, Ben.

Priscilla Presley's Lawyers Say These Claims Have "Nothing To Do" With the Case

The suit alleges that Lisa Marie's ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, told Kruse that he wanted to use this information to orchestrate a settlement for himself and his daughters. 

He was apparently so down and out that he was eating dog food. He told Kruse that Travolta "needed to help salvage his career amid claims of sexual assault against other men." 

The suit includes a handwritten note with "CA fertility partners," "Ben Travolta," and "Kelly Preston carried baby" scribbled on it. It also has a text exchange with Priscilla referring to Ben as her "beautiful great-grandson."

Priscilla sued Kruse and her business associates for fraud and elder abuse last year. Kruse denied the claims. 

Priscilla's attorneys recently said, "In a completely improper effort to exert undue pressure on Presley to retract her legitimate, truthful claims, Kruse and her co-conspirators have also sued Presley's son, cousin, and assistant. These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case. The conduct of Kruse, Fialko, and their new lawyers (they are on their fourth set of attorneys) is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court."
