Her mother played Tom Cruise’s calculating lover in a major 1990s film.
The blonde Hollywood favorite even starred in films with several handsome men, including Kevin Costner and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But her father is an even bigger star.
This stunner was in a sitcom and then did a big disco film in the 1970s, and was an 80s movie king, then reinvented in the 1990s.
His films were blockbusters with stars such as Olivia Newton-John, Robin Wright and Nicolas Cage.
And he can fly planes too, big ones like 747s.
Who is she?
Her mother played Tom Cruise’s lover and her father starred in a disco film. Who is she?
She is 24 year old Ella Bleu Travolta.
Her mother was the late Kelly Preston who played Cruise’s lover in writer-director Cameron Crowe’s 1996 sports agent film Jerry Maguire.
She was also in For Love Of The Game with Costner in 1999 and in The Cat In The Hat in 2003.
Preston died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 57 in Clearwater, Florida.
Kelly was married to Ella’s father John Travolta from 1991 to 2020; they had three children – in addition to Ella, there was the late Jett and the much younger Benjamin.
Ella was spotted with her father last weekend at the fourth annual Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
The budding star looked like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn in a black A-line dress with thin straps and a double-strand necklace, while her brown hair was worn in a flirty bob.
The singer added pointed kitten heels.
Papa John was handsome in a black turtleneck and velvet blazer with slacks and dress shoes.

Ella has been busy with her music this year.
She has a new EP Colors of Love, which will be released on November 8.
Her song Little Bird is a tribute to her late mother Preston, who died of breast cancer in 2020 at the age of 57.
“It had been a few years since my mother passed away, so I was able to take a step back and see what I wanted to communicate,” she offered. “And I just wanted it to be as real and personal as possible.”
Ella told me People about how her father encouraged her to sing.
“At the beginning of the pandemic, I had a bunch of little ballots on my phone with snippets of songs I came up with or melodies. I play the ukulele, and I write a lot on the ukulele, so I don’t write a lot of ukulele songs [too]Ella told the site.
Dad listened.

“He said, ‘Oh, wow, you should really finish these. You should finish these songs, and then you could record demos of them or something,’” he told his only daughter.
‘So I thought, “Okay, I’ll do that.”
“So then I just started finishing songs. It was just this gradient of how everything came about. But that was definitely a big part of me wanting to get into it even more, it was just my dad.”
She then let her 13-year-old brother Benjamin listen.
“I’ll hear him humming it later,” she said of Ben.
“They’re so supportive and definitely a big part of if I ever think, ‘Okay, do I like this song? I always need them to hear their opinions. And I really appreciate that.’
And she asked John for advice.
“I often run things through him,” Ella said.

“He’s a complete role model for me and one of the biggest things he does is he gives me advice,” she added.
‘The best advice I’ve received obviously comes from him, but he also really leaves it up to me, which I really appreciate. He trusts me and my instincts very much.”
She said she feels fortunate to have a father who has been in the industry for a while.
“I’m so lucky to have been exposed to that from so young,” the star said.
‘And that certainly sparked my interest in wanting to do it. I’m very excited and trying to forge my own path and learn from my experiences in my family and not take that for granted.”
On Colors of Love, each song is “a different take on love, whether it’s friends, insecurity or unrequited love,” she adds.
