Travolta’s Son Allegedly Conceived With Riley Keough’s Eggs, Lawsuit Claims

In a lawsuit that has tied Hollywood royalty to a courtroom drama, allegations claim that John Travolta’s youngest son was conceived using eggs donated by his great‑aunt, actor Riley Keough.

The Core Allegations

Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko have filed a Los Angeles County civil complaint accusing Priscilla Presley’s son, Navarone Garcia, of breach of contract. The lawsuit also accuses Priscilla Presley of fraud and breach of contract. According to the filings, Riley Keough—daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley—donated eggs that led to the birth of Ben Travolta, the actor’s youngest child. The claim states the eggs were used to produce Ben in 2013, though the child was actually born in November 2010.

Payment and the “Old Jaguar” Deal

The plaintiffs say Keough received an “old Jaguar” and between $10,000 and $20,000 for her donation. A handwritten note on hotel stationery outlining the agreement was provided as evidence in the lawsuit. Lawyers for Kruse and Fialko say Travolta did not want “eggs with heroin” and that the arrangement was orchestrated so that Kelly Preston could carry the child.

Family Context and Past Litigation

Ben Travolta is the third child of John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston. Their eldest son, Jett, died on January 2, 2009, from a seizure during a family vacation in the Bahamas. Preston died on July 12, 2020, at age 57 after a battle with breast cancer. The couple’s third child, Ella Bleu Travolta, is 25 and works as an actor, singer, and model.

Legal Reactions

Representatives for Travolta, Keough, and Garcia have not responded to NBC News requests for comment. Priscilla Presley’s attorney, Marty Singer, called the allegations “shameful” and said they did not address the egg‑donation claim directly. Singer’s statement reads:

“Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their co‑conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to deflect from their significant liability to Priscilla Presley,” he 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.”
