Priscilla Presley responds to claim Riley Keough is the biological mother of John Travolta’s son

Priscilla Presley’s lawyers have shut down “outrageous” allegations her granddaughter Riley Keough is the biological mother of John Travolta’s son Ben.

The shock claim was made in a lawsuit filed by Priscilla’s former business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, against her son, Navarone Garcia.

In an amended complaint, which was filed this week, it was alleged that the actress, 36, donated her eggs to Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston so they could have their son Benjamin, who is now 15 years old.

The complaint states that immediately after Lisa Marie’s death at 54 in January 2023, the “entire Presley family clamored for control of the estate and for pay-outs, using Plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko as both negotiators and mediators.”

Kruse claimed that Lisa Marie’s ex-husband Michael Lockwood told her that John and Kelly had previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant.

According to the filing, Lockwood alleged that Travolta approached the family again in 2010.

Per the complaint, “Lockwood claimed that Travolta said he no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs because they did not want ‘eggs with heroin’ on them and they orchestrated a deal, where Riley Keough gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta.”

In exchange for donating her eggs, the court document claims that Riley was given an “old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 – $20,000 for the deal.”

The complaint also alleges that Lockwood wanted Kruse and Fialko to “use the information to orchestrate a settlement for him and his daughters.”

However, the documents claim when Garcia heard this news, he “threw a tantrum, demanding that Plaintiffs keep Riley’s and Travolta’s son out of the press, since Priscilla promised him that he would be the only male musician in the family and would now be the ‘king.'”

They also claimed that Garcia requested a “million-dollar settlement.”

In a statement to TMZ, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman – lawyers who represent both Priscilla Presley and her son – accused Kruse and Fialko of causing undue “pain to Priscilla Presley and her family.”

“After losing motion after motion in this case, and unsuccessfully seeking to have Presley’s counsel of record, Marty Singer, disqualified from representing her in this matter, Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family,” the attorneys said.

“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. The conduct of Kruse, Fialko, and their new lawyers (they are on their fourth set of attorneys) is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court.”

Kruse and Fialko have been embroiled in a legal battle with Priscilla Presley for over a year.

In August 2024, Presley sued the pair for $1 million in damages for alleged financial elder abuse.

The following month, Fialko and Kruse sued Priscilla for allegedly breaching their business contracts.
