Kelly Preston, John Travolta on Hello! Magazine

Proud parents John Travolta and Kelly Preston are ready to introduce new son Benjamin Hunter Kaleo to the world.

"For us it's been uplifting," Travolta, 56, told Hello! about having a baby. "Especially when he smiles at me and seems contented in my arms. He's given the house a renewed spirit and purpose."

Big sister Ella Bleu, 10, is also excited for her new role as "Mommy's helper" and covers Benjamin with kisses.

After trying to conceive for three years, the couple received "the best news" that Preston, 48, was expecting. They made the announcement last spring on Travolta's official website.

"It's impossible to keep a secret ... especially one as wonderful as this," they wrote. "We want to be the first to share this great news with everyone that we are expecting a new addition to our family. Love, John, Kelly and Ella."

The family's happy news comes just two years after the death of their son Jett, 16, who suffered a fatal seizure.

According to Hello!, the new family portraits serve as a starting point for the Jett Travolta Foundation, a fundraising organization started by the couple to help other children suffering from conditions similar to Jett's.

No, it's just that since he is a scientologist too he cannot look like either of them or speak for 6 months. Sorry, that's the rules.

By isabel

you're an idiot, how can you say that about an innocent baby who can't defend itself..

By Bridget Jones

I thought exactly the same thing.

By angel

No youre not the only one. The baby LOOKS nothing like either one. Not a bit. I think it was a fake pregnancy right down to the baby bump. I dont think this is a biological child. I think they were putting on a show for the public and for their daughter. ( i hope i am 200% wrong)

Either way: the baby, sister and parents are BLESSED !!!! Best of luck and joy to them.

Face Off!

By Martin

I agree Denise. That baby don't look nothing like them. The baby look Hispanic. I think they faked the pregnancy and adopted this baby. If so that was not necessary. There is nothing wrong with adoption. More parents should adopt.
I'm surprise John stayed home long enough to pose for a picture.

My son did not look like me or his father until he was around one. Even now, he really doesn't favor either one of us.

By ginny

Instead of trying to find some trickery or dishonesty, try being happy for a family that has experienced profound grief! May God bless this baby and his family!
