Elvis Presley is rumored to have a great-grandchild who has not been officially recognized. Allegations suggest that John Travolta’s youngest son was possibly conceived with the help of an egg donated by Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley. These claims were made in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles.
The lawsuit, which involves a breach-of-contract dispute amounting to $50 million (£37 million), was brought by Priscilla Presley’s former business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, against her son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia. The legal document, submitted on December 16, asserts that Lisa Marie Presley provided eggs for John Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston to assist in their attempts to conceive a child.
The lawsuit also suggests that Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, may be the biological mother of the Travolta couple’s 15-year-old son, Ben. These claims, however, have not been substantiated and are solely part of the plaintiffs’ legal arguments.
Following Lisa Marie’s death in 2023, family tensions reportedly escalated. The lawsuit alleges that the Presley family vied for control of the estate and financial settlements, using Kruse and Fialko as intermediaries. Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, is implicated in the claims, stating that Lisa Marie’s eggs were previously used by Travolta and Preston for conception purposes.
The lawsuit does not confirm the birth of a child from Lisa Marie’s eggs but asserts that Travolta and Preston revisited the Presley family in 2010 seeking further assistance, especially after the tragic death of their son Jett. Lockwood allegedly mentioned Travolta’s concerns about his career and the decision to use eggs donated by Riley Keough to facilitate the birth of their son, Ben Travolta.
Ben was born in November 2010, and it is claimed that Riley Keough received minimal compensation for her involvement. The agreement supposedly required approval from the Church of Scientology, overseen by Priscilla Presley. However, Garcia, upon learning of potential public exposure, demanded a significant settlement to keep the information confidential.
The Travolta family resides in Ocala, Florida. Priscilla Presley, who is counter-suing Kruse and Fialko for fraud and elder abuse, has vehemently denied all accusations against her.
Her attorney, Marty Singer, dismissed the claims as baseless and aimed at tarnishing an elderly woman’s reputation. The lawsuit has been amended to include Ben Travolta’s name, with the plaintiffs defending their actions as an effort to bring resolution and stability to the Presley family.
The claims made in the lawsuit remain unverified, and no independent evidence has been presented to support them. There has been no public response from Travolta, Keough, or their representatives. Legal proceedings will determine the fate of these allegations as the case progresses.
