Her mother played Tom Cruise’s calculating lover in a smash hit 1990s movie.

In fact, the blonde Hollywood favorite was in films with several handsome men, including Kevin Costner and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But her father is an even bigger star.

This A-lister was on a sitcom, then did a big disco movie in the 1970s, and was an 80s movie king, then was reinvented in the 1990s.

His films have been blockbusters with stars like 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 dad was in a disco movie. Who is she?

She is 24-year-old Ella Bleu Travolta.

Her mother was the late Kelly Preston who played Cruise’s lover in 1996’s sports agent movie Jerry Maguire from writer-director Cameron Crowe.

She was also in 1999’s For Love Of The Game with Costner and in 2003’s The Cat In The Hat.

Preston died at the age of 57 in year 2020 in Clearwater, Florida from cancer.

Kelly was wed to Ella’s father John Travolta from 1991 until 2020; they had three kids – in addition to Ella there was the late Jett and the much younger Benjamin.

Ella was seen with her father last weekend at the Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala held at 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 as her brown hair was worn in a flirty bob.

The singer added pointy kitten heels.

Dad 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 mom Preston, who died at age 57 of breast cancer in 2020.

‘It had been a couple of years since my mom’s pᴀssing, so I could 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 People about how her dad encouraged her to sing.

‘At the beginning of the pandemic, I had a bunch of little voice notes on my phone of snippets of songs that I came up with or melodies. I play ukulele, and I write a lot on ukulele, so little ukulele songs [too],’ Ella told the site.

Dad listened.

‘He was like, “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 was like, “Okay, well, I’ll do that.”

‘So then, I just started finishing songs. It was just this gradient of how everything came up. But that was definitely a huge part of me wanting to really get into it even more, was just my dad.’

Next she had 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 huge part of if I’m ever like, “Okay, do I like this song? I always have them to get their opinions. And I value that a lot.”‘

And she asked John for advice.

‘I run things by him a lot,’ said Ella.

‘He’s a complete role model for me and one of the biggest things also that he does is he’ll give me advice,’ she added.

‘The best advice that I’ve gotten obviously is from him, but he also really leaves it up to me, which I really appreciate. He very much so trusts me and my instincts.’

She said she feels lucky to have a dad who has been in the industry for a while.

‘I’m so fortunate to have been exposed to that from so young,’ said the star.

‘And that definitely sparked my interest to want to do it/ I’m really excited and trying to carve my own path and learn from my experience in my family and not take any of that for granted.’

On Colors of Love, each song is ‘a different viewpoint on love, whether it’s friends or uncertainty or unrequited love,’ she adds.
