These are photos of John Travolta at a store opening event for Breitling, the watch company. John was flying solo last night – at least, no Kelly. I’m sure he picked someone up at the spa who could escort him however. Why waste his “I’m so fancy and I have a newborn baby” toupee. Speaking of baby Ben, John spoke to People Magazine about his boy:
John Travolta has a little mini-me: baby boy Benjamin.
“He looks like me,” Travolta, 56, tells PEOPLE of his bright blue-eyed 7-week-old son at the opening of the new Breitling flagship store in New York Thursday night. “He’s been great. One night, he actually slept seven hours – which is unbelievable!”
The downside to having a newborn? Traveling – but only because he’s away from his little boy. Travolta was in Manhattan Thursday, while his family, including wife Kelly Preston and daughter Ella Bleu, 10, were home in Ocala, Fla.
“I’ll be exactly gone 24 hours, and I miss him already,” says the proud dad, who will head to Berlin on Feb. 5, where he’ll be honored with the prestigious Golden Camera award for his movie work.
After enduring the tragedy of losing son Jett in 2009, Travolta is again enjoying the simple pleasures of fatherhood.
“I love holding him and feeding him,” he says of Ben. “My time is bottle time or when he’s contented and ready to be walked around and held or taken for a walk.”
He adds: “Otherwise, he’s on Mom’s breast. So I have to be on call … hop in when it’s my turn.”

Just the idea of John being “on call” when Ben isn’t on Kelly’s breast is fascinating. I mean… how is she breastfeeding if she was wearing a pillow all this time? Oh, right. SHE GAVE BIRTH, HATERS. Also, I love that the whole undercurrent of this is that John couldn’t wait to fly to New York so that he wouldn’t have his soul crushed any longer in the façade of his marriage. He was barely around while Kelly was pregnant – just a week before she “delivered” he was enjoying a tour of Australian spa dong (ALLEGEDLY). And I love that John showed up to appear at a store opening – the very definition of an event that could have easily been missed. Sigh… put another decade on the contract, Xenu.
Also, baby Ben looks L. Ron Hubbard. I’m just sayin’.

what, no close ups of the lace-front?
Wonder what kind of spa that would be. He was asked to leave a spa when visiting Whistler because of a creepy request.
I find it sadly funny that everyone is so black and white on John Travolta’s sexuality. People either swear blindly that he’s 100% straight, or that he’s living a lie as he’s 100% gay.
Um, could he be bisexual maybe? It is possible and it’s also possible his wife knows and is OK with his extra-curricular activities.
Just a thought …
There was a blind a bit ago about an actor who wanted to come out publicly after a lot of personal turmoil, but his wife was unhappy with this plan and had herself inseminated so that he wouldn’t leave.
And I think of that blind every time I see them.
I feel really bad for him. He has a look in his eyes of total unhappiness, I think.
Isn’t there a shot a doc can give so that women who have not given birth can breastfeed. It seems like I’ve heard of women who have adopted doing this. Mahybe that is what she is doing. I am sure she will make it known she is breastfeeding.
OMG Kaiser! You nailed it- that kid DOES look like L. Ron! LOL
I agree this is an easily missed event. Unless he’s some kind of Brietling junkie. Someone needs to get some footage of him at these spas, stat. This rumor needs to be cleared/proved asap.
He appears to be overcome with joy as he demonstrates what he can do with a fist.
He still has the prettiest blue eyes.
Hope I never see that footage.
These posts about Travolta and Preston are pretty tiresome. Blah blah blah…yeah, we get it. Some people think he’s gay. Some people think she faked her pregnancy. And the same exact thing happened to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, right?
He’s looking at the watch going.. Time’s up Haters! I’ve got an appointment with the Spa.
Speeds off..
What is with this guy? Has to go downunder (not that downunder) for an airline party and now to open a freakin’ store in NYC. That’s what c-listers do. Something tells me it won’t be long before this story breaks wide open.
@PrettyTarheel – I’m dying laughing right now -you’ve made my day!
@samihammy
hahahhahha!
The baby is adorable. I’m glad for them.
If Kelly is breastfeeding, then why would John need to do bottle time?
@fabgrrl: I’d do the (pumped) bottle even when my wife was breastfeeding so that she’d have a chance to sleep.
What I love about pop references to Scientology though is that they don’t realise (or else don’t care) that Xenu is actually effectively their devil, not their god.
@ Kaiser :
“re:spa dong” in your headline
&
Why waste his “I’m so fancy and I have a newborn baby” toupee.
LOL!!!! You made my day!!!!!
If you don’t want to travel and be away from your newborn…don’t? Did he HAVE to go to a watch store opening? Seems odd.
Anyway, glad they’re happy after such a rough time, but I’ll always doubt their private life is what they portray it to be.
@ Lady Satan: I agree! Could be bisexual and I am on the “she knows it all” train. They have an agreement.
It’s really not that shocking, I don’t think.
kaiser – OMG! he does look just like l. ron hubbard….aaacckkkk!
Ok, I’m guessing I missed something since nobody seemed curious about skibunny’s comment that he was asked to leave a spa in Whistler.
Was this covered already or is this new information? If it’s new, I would like to personally beg for skibunny to elaborate!
I second Whitey Fisk. Spill it Skibunny!
oh lord!! the baby does look like Hubbard!!! hilarious!!
yeah Kelly is breast feeding–and so am I…NOT!
RUN John!! and don’t go back–go do YOU and just pay Kelly, RUN while you’re free!!
stuck in the spa closet, smdh!! all these yrs.
Looks like L.Ron- too funny!
He has to get in line tho,who would have thought Tom Thumb was so pro-women’s lib?

I looove how people mag purposely put a picture of Kelly supposedly breastfeeding or doing something with her breast and the nearby baby in the pictorial as to say “see, all the signs point to me actually popping that out”.
pathetic liars and fakers. that’s no way to start off a kids life.
I would suggest that perhaps he went to the opening because being the spokesman for Breitling watches is his most reliable form of income these days. He’s not the boxoffice attraction he once was, and he does have a family, a mansion and an airplane to support.
And for the watch company, the opening of a flagship store in Manhattan IS a big event. Tourist shoppers will probably make that store its most profitable retail outlet. They would expect to have their big-bucks spokesperson in attendance.
Were he not the official spokesman, sure, it’s basically “the opening of an envelope.” I notice that in both of the photos he is showing off his Breitling watch. Those watch people are making sure they get what they pay for.
He needs his to have his teeth clean
@samihami you so funny
lol. His baby is adorable though. It does really look like him but I doubt it’s Kelly’s.
He’s so rich. Can’t he get a better wig?
It’s like he has a day pass from the sanatorium.
Most of all, I’m morally offended by the “hair”.
Sorry, but 56 is WAY too old to be having a baby. When Ben is 21, John will be 77. Can you imagine having to go through all the drama of a teenager, like picking them up at freaking 3am when you’re in your 70s??
My dad was exactly 56 when I was born. As a kid, I never thought of him as “old”, he was just my dad. He did all the same stuff other kids dads did. Age is just a number and my dad proves it.
all he needs is a spray tan & he’ll get mistaken for Donald Trump. They shop at the same rug store clearly.
yeah nice one daddy, leaving them for a store opening??? you’re missing precious moments and helping your wife for that? gay, straight or bi, that is selfish asshole behaviour.
That’s so great that Kelly P is breastfeeding. I read so many blinds that she wasn’t really pregnant and a surrogate had the baby for them. If that’s true, no way she could breastfeed.
