John Travolta jetted off to Europe with son Benjamin, 14, for a luxe family getaway, but fans can’t stop asking: Where’s Ella? The “Grease” icon, 71, usually shares these adventures with both kids—Ella Bleu, 24, and Ben—born to him and late wife Kelly Preston. This time, Ella’s no-show sparked a buzz online.
Family Vacation Minus One
Travolta hit Europe recently, posts on X suggest, soaking up sights with Benjamin after a tough few years since Preston’s 2020 death from breast cancer. The duo’s been tight, hitting Paris for the 2024 Olympics and skiing last Christmas. But Ella, the budding actress and singer, skipped this jaunt, leaving fans scratching heads.
She’s been busy, sure—dropping her EP “Colors of Love” in November and walking runways in Milan. Yet, her absence from dad’s side feels off to followers who’ve seen her glue with Travolta on trips. For now, no pics or posts clue us in—she’s off the grid while Ben basks in the spotlight.
What’s Up With Ella?
Speculation swirls fast. Some guess she’s filming—she starred in “The Poison Rose” with dad and just wrapped “Get Lost,” a twist on Alice in Wonderland. Others whisper tension, though Travolta’s gushy Instagram posts, like calling her “gracious” in 2019, paint a rosy bond. Maybe she just opted out, chasing her own path?
Ella’s leaned into music lately, honoring Preston with “Little Bird,” a track Travolta produced. Posts on X hint she’s prepping more tunes or gigs—too busy for a family vacay? Meanwhile, Ben’s Ninja Warrior kicks and Travolta’s jet-set life fill their feed. Her silence fuels the chatter.
Travolta and Preston built a legacy—married in 1991, they lost son Jett in 2009 before Ben arrived. Ella’s always been the bridge, but this trip’s gap stings fans expecting the trio. No word from Travolta’s camp clears the air, so the mystery lingers.
