Priscilla Presley’s former business partner claims Priscilla’s granddaughter, Riley Keough (pictured), is the mother of John Travolta‘s youngest child.
Brigitte Kruse dropped the bombshell claim in a new lawsuit filed against Priscilla, Elvis Presley‘s widow.
The NY Post’s Page Six obtained court documents that allege John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, paid Riley for her eggs to conceive their son, Ben, who was born in 2010 and is now 15.
Kelly Preston, John Travolta and their children Ben Travolta and Ella Bleu Travolta are pictured at the 71st Annual Cannes Film Festival in 2018.
Kelly and John’s eldest son, Jett, died in 2009.
Kelly died in 2020 at age 57.
Brigitte alleges the Travoltas paid Riley $20,000 plus a classic Jaguar automobile for her eggs. Riley, 36, is seen in a photo dated Oct. 20, 2017.
According to the court documents, Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie Presley’s ex-husband, told her Kelly had trouble having children.
Lisa Marie (Riley’s mother) allegedly agreed to harvest her own eggs for the IVF procedure for Kelly.
But John and Kelly allegedly changed their minds because they didn’t want eggs from a drug abuser.
Lisa Marie (pictured) had a history of drug addiction. She died in 2023 at age 54.
Brigitte claims a deal was then made to harvest Riley’s eggs, and Kelly carried the baby.
The court documents include handwritten notes that read: “CA fertility partners,” “Ben Travolta,” and “Kelly Preston carried baby,” plus texts calling Ben Priscilla’s “beautiful great-grandson.”
Priscilla (Riley’s grandmother) responded to the allegations through her attorneys.
“After losing motion after motion… Kruse and their co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family,” the lawyers tell TMZ.
“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.”
Riley Keough has not responded publicly to the allegations.
