Elvis Presley may have a secret great-grandchild.
Lisa Marie Presley donated her eggs so that John Travolta, 71, and Kelly Preston could “get pregnant,” while her daughter, Riley Keough, is the biological mother of their other son, Ben, 15, according to allegations shared as part of a bombshell new legal document obtained by the National Enquirer.

Priscilla Presley’s former business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, made the allegations as part of an amended complaint in their $50 million breach of contract lawsuit against her son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, which was filed on Tuesday, December 16.
Immediately after Lisa Marie’s death at age 54 in 2023, the complaint reads, “the entire Presley family clamored for control of the estate and for pay-outs, using Plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko as both negotiators and mediators” — and Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, father to her 17-year-old twins Harper and Finley, was one of them.
The musician, 61, allegedly told Kruse “that John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, had been unable to bear her own children, and Travolta and Presley previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant” the document reads. From the filing, it is not clear that Lisa Marie’s eggs produced a child.

According to the complaint, Lockwood, who was married to Lisa Marie from 2006 to 2021, claimed the Travoltas approached the Presleys again in 2010, a year after their son Jett’s tragic death from a seizure at 16.
“Lockwood claimed that Travolta needed to help salvage his career amid claims of sexual assault against other men, which threatened his career as a leading man,” the complaint continues.
“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,” the complaint reads, referring to her opioid addiction, “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 November 2010. Preston died after a long battle with breast cancer in 2020 at age 57.

In exchange, the complaint reads, Lockwood claimed the actress, now 36, “was given an old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 – $20,000 for the deal.”
Furthermore, the filing alleges, Lockwood “claimed that the entire arrangement required a ‘sign off’ from the Church of Scientology, which heavily involved Priscilla’s oversight.”
Lisa Marie’s ex wanted Kruse and Fialko to use the shocking secrets “to orchestrate a settlement for him and his daughters,” the complaint alleges.
But when Garcia found out, they claim, 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 allege that the Them Guns lead singer, 38, “demanded a multi-million-dollar settlement.”

The National Enquirer has previously reported on the secret grandchild who “resides in Florida” and was never acknowledged by Priscilla, 80, and Lisa Marie, which was revealed as part of Kruse and Fialko’s lawsuit against Priscilla. The Travoltas are based in Ocala.
“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,” Priscilla’s attorneys, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, told TMZ of the latest claims.
“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,” they added. “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.”
“Any contention that our allegations are ‘outrageous’ or ‘cross an ethical line’ is nothing more than a crafty attempt to bend the facts and create a false narrative. First, while our clients are disheartened that they have been forced to proceed with litigation, it was Ms. Presley and her family that first concocted outrageous and reprehensibly false allegations against them to smear their reputations and destroy their businesses and families,” Kruse and Fialko’s attorney, Jordan Matthews, said in a statement to the Enquirer. “Second, the reality is that these are the circumstances that our clients were forced to endure when they were trying to hold the Presley family together despite the fact that they were each clamoring against one another over money and control over Lisa Marie’s estate. Third, again, any claim that the allegations are ‘outrageous’ is patently false. What her counsel omits from their comments is that our clients have attempted in good faith to resolve this matter and her counsel was well aware of this filing, but chose to ignore it, daring our clients to proceed with litigation.”
“Tellingly, her counsel fails to actually deny the claims and simply calls them ‘outrageous,'” Matthews added. “Our clients will not be bullied by false allegations, or misrepresented facts. We will let the facts and the truth speak for itself.”
