Ella Bleu Travolta, daughter of legendary actor John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, is making waves not only in Hollywood, but also in the world of wellness, particularly with her commitment to a vegan lifestyle.
Her decision wasn’t just about her health, but something much bigger.
Ella Bleu was born on the 3rd of April 2000,
Ella Bleu Travolta is the daughter of iconic actor John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston. She was born on 3 April 2000 at Travolta’s home in California.
Ella’s birth was no ordinary moment – it was something truly special. Her mother, Kelly Preston, shared the unforgettable moment when she first saw her daughter.
‘John slipped his hands under her arms when she was still only halfway out and I put my hand on his and together we pulled her out and put her on my chest,’ Kelly told Redbook a few months after giving birth.
She’s the big sister
Ella is a proud big sister. She became the second child of John Travolta and Kelly Preston after the birth of their son Jett in April 1992. Tragically, Jett passed away at the age of 16 after hitting his head on the bathtub following a seizure at the family’s holiday home.
Two years after Jett’s heartbreaking death, Ella became a sister again when her brother Benjamin was born on 23 November 2011.
According to her mum Kelly, Ella was just beyond excited when she learnt the news. The actress shared Ella’s reaction to becoming a big sister for the first time:
‘You would have thought from her enthusiasm for his arrival that Ella was giving birth to Benjamin herself – she was ecstatic to say the least. When she first saw him, she fell in love,’ says Kelly.
Following in her parents’ footsteps
Today, Ella keeps in close touch with her younger brother and posts heartwarming messages on social media every year in honour of Benjamin’s birthday.
Ella Bleu already fell in love with the stage as a child. At the family home in Maine, they set up a small stage with a red curtain, and that’s where Ella and her friends performed. They did anything from a performance of The Incredible Hulk to various Christmas shows. One year they even performed as the Maine Housewives.
‘Ever since I was a little girl, I loved performing, singing, dancing and putting on shows at home for my family and friends,’ Ella Bleu told People.
When she was just 9 years old, she made her film debut in ‘Old Dogs,’ where she starred alongside her parents and the late legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams.
‘It was amazing to do my first film with my parents, it was so much easier,’ Ella Bleu told Celebrity Pulse.
Filming in ‘Old Dogs’ was not the last time she worked alongside her father John Travolta. Ten years later, she starred in the drama ‘Poison Rose.’ Ten years after her first role, Ella starred alongside her father again in the drama ‘Poison Rose’.

As of 2024, Ella has amassed an impressive resume with notable experience in modelling, acting and music.
Ella’s path to veganism
In 2022, Ella Blue-Travolta made the decision to transition to a vegan lifestyle and plant-based diet. Her motivation to become vegan was driven by both ethical considerations and a desire to live a healthier lifestyle.
Inspired by one of her close friends, Ella decided to try a vegan diet for a fortnight. The results were so positive that she continued it. During this time, she watched several documentaries to gain a deeper understanding of the environmental benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. It was a revelation for her to realise that her choices directly contribute to the well-being of the Earth.
‘It’s really changed the way I feel – I have more energy overall and I feel great,’ she told Greenmatters.com.
When Ella first switched to a plant-based diet, she did extensive research to see how it could improve her health. But what interested her most was the environmental impact. After watching documentaries, she learned that reducing our consumption of animal products can reduce our carbon footprint, save water and help clean the air – a real benefit to the planet.
Ella Blue’s diet
Ella’s favourite breakfast often includes something simple but hearty, like toast with crunchy peanut butter, agave drizzle and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. It’s a quick, protein-rich option that energises her for the whole morning, offering a delicious balance of sweetness and spice.
Is John Travolta a vegan?
Although Ella has switched to a plant-based diet, her father, John, doesn’t seem to have joined her just yet.
