John Travolta Youngest Kid Is Riley Keough's Biological Son, Lawsuit Claims

Published | Updated

John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, had three children together ... but their youngest kid is biologically a Presley ... this according to a bombshell legal document.

Priscilla Presley's former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, is currently suing Priscilla's son, Navarone Garcia, for breach of contract ... but what's way more interesting in new legal docs filed in the case is that Kruse alleges John and Kelly used Riley Keough's eggs to give birth to their son, Ben.

In the papers, Kruse alleges Michael Lockwood -- Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband -- told her Kelly had been unable to bear her own children. Kruse claims John and Kelly previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant ... but they no longer wanted Lisa's eggs because they did not want “eggs with heroin" on them.

It's unclear whether Lisa Marie's eggs ever produced a child.

However, Kruse claims a deal was orchestrated where Riley -- one of Lisa Marie's daughters -- gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to Ben, who is 15 now. Kruse claims Riley was given an old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 - $20,000 for the deal.

Marjorie Taylor Greene I Finally Found My 'Happily Ever After' With My New Fiance!

Published

Marjorie Taylor Greene's been off the market for a few years, and now she's really locking it down with Brian Glenn -- because they're engaged!

The news about the soon-to-be ex-U.S. Representative from Georgia was shared by her future husband on X on Monday in a photo of him sitting in a restaurant next to Greene, who showed off her new engagement ring, writing "She said ‘yes’. 💍"

Just in case there was any doubt about her future marital status, Greene reshared the photo and wrote she'd found her "happily ever after."

FYI ... Brian first spotted Marjorie at a rally for Donald Trump back in 2022, and they began dating the following year, reports the Washington Post.

The two got close over the next few years, although they faced a hurdle earlier this year when Greene began breaking from Trump, who later began outright denouncing her former political ally. Glenn is the White House correspondent for Real America’s Voice, a conservative news outlet.

Glenn, who's made no secret of his support for POTUS, told the Washington Post he'd ultimately pick his future bride over 47 if it really came down to it -- and said he'd be following her back to Georgia after she finishes out her time in Washington, D.C. next year.

It's worth mentioning Marjorie was married to her first husband Perry Greene, with whom she shares children Lauren, Taylor, and Derek, from 1995 to 2022 ... hey, second time's the charm!
