Ella Bleu Travolta, daughter of John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, grew up surrounded by creativity, family love, and the unique rhythm of life in the public eye.
Born on April 3, 2000, her arrival was a cherished moment her mother once described with deep sentiment, recalling how she and John welcomed Ella together.
As a child, Ella became a devoted sister—first to her older brother Jett and later to Benjamin,
whose birth filled their family with renewed joy. Even as a young girl, she gravitated toward performance,
staging her own shows at home and eventually stepping into film alongside her parents. As she grew,
she expanded her artistic reach, adding modeling and music to her creative path and slowly shaping a career defined by authenticity rather than expectation.
Her journey into a plant-based lifestyle began in 2022, sparked by a simple two-week challenge suggested by a friend.
What started as an experiment quickly became a meaningful shift. Ella soon discovered how much more energized and balanced she felt,
and her curiosity led her to learn more about the environmental benefits of reducing animal products. Through documentaries,
research, and personal experience, she adopted a vegan lifestyle rooted in compassion, sustainability, and well-being.
Still, she approaches the topic with openness rather than pressure, sharing her benefits without insisting others follow her lead.
Her gentle encouragement reflects her philosophy: meaningful change grows through inspiration, not force.
Ella’s love for plant-based cooking has become one of her favorite ways to express creativity.
She enjoys simple, energizing breakfasts like peanut-butter toast with agave and pumpkin-spice seasoning, and she often experiments with vegan baking,
creating banana bread and a plant-based version of Tom Cruise’s well-known coconut bundt cake—a treat her father eagerly approves of
. In 2023, she created her Instagram page @ellableubakes to share recipes, spotlight plant-based cafés, and celebrate the joy of food.
Whether she’s sipping her morning matcha or exploring menus at her favorite restaurant, PLANTA, Ella’s approach to food is playful, inclusive, and welcoming.
Life has brought both triumph and challenge, and Ella’s grace in navigating public life reflects a quiet strength.
Growing up in Hollywood meant facing criticism at a young age, especially around appearance, but her wellness journey appears to have supported a growing sense of confidence and balance. After losing her mother to breast cancer in 2020, Ella and John strengthened their already close bond. Together, they travel, attend events, and continue honoring Kelly’s legacy while pursuing their shared love of storytelling and creativity. Today, Ella’s plant-based lifestyle represents more than just food choices—it reflects a purposeful way of living that aligns health, ethics, and environmental care. Through her recipes, positivity, and gentle advocacy, she invites others to explore plant-based eating at their own pace, offering not rules, but possibilities for a kinder, healthier world.
