Ella Bleu Travolta, cherished daughter of John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, grew up immersed in a world rich with creativity, deep family love, and the vibrant, unmistakable pulse of life under the spotlight.
Born on April 3, 2000, her arrival filled the home with pure happiness. Kelly once spoke of that precious moment with heartfelt emotion, describing how she and John welcomed their little girl together, holding her close from the very first breath.
As a child, Ella stepped naturally into the role of devoted sister— first to her older brother Jett, and later to little Benjamin, whose birth brought waves of renewed light and laughter into their lives.
From her earliest years, performance called to her soul. She organized her own miniature shows in the living room, filled with song, dance, and imagination, before confidently stepping onto real film sets beside her parents.
As she blossomed into adulthood, her artistic spirit expanded in beautiful directions. Modeling captured her grace, music allowed her voice to soar, and each step forward carried the mark of authenticity rather than the weight of expectation.
In 2022, a gentle two-week plant-based challenge from a friend opened an entirely new chapter. What began as a simple experiment quickly transformed into a profound, life-giving shift.
Ella soon noticed how alive she felt— clear-minded, energized, and wonderfully balanced.
Her natural curiosity led her deeper: documentaries, books, conversations, and personal experiences revealed the powerful environmental impact of choosing more plants and fewer animal products.
With an open heart, she embraced a fully vegan lifestyle built on compassion for animals, care for the planet, and genuine well-being for herself and others.
She shares her journey softly, never with judgment or pressure, only with warmth and encouragement, believing that true change blooms when people feel inspired rather than pushed.
Cooking has become one of Ella’s happiest creative outlets. Mornings often begin with thick peanut-butter toast drizzled with agave and sprinkled with cozy pumpkin-spice seasoning.
She loves experimenting in the kitchen, perfecting fluffy vegan banana bread and even recreating Tom Cruise’s famous coconut bundt cake in a deliciously plant-based version that makes her father light up with every bite.
In 2023, she launched her Instagram page @ellableubakes, a sunny corner of the internet where she shares easy, joyful recipes, spotlights welcoming plant-based cafés, and celebrates the pure pleasure of food made with kindness.
Whether she’s savoring a creamy morning matcha or discovering new dishes at her beloved restaurant PLANTA, Ella approaches every meal with playfulness, inclusivity, and an open invitation for others to join the fun.
Life has offered Ella both dazzling highs and heartbreaking lows, yet she moves through the world with remarkable grace and quiet, unshakable strength.
Growing up in Hollywood brought early scrutiny, especially about appearance, but her wellness path has nurtured a radiant confidence and a deep sense of inner peace.
After losing her mother to breast cancer in 2020, Ella and John drew even closer, leaning on their unbreakable bond.
Together they travel the world, attend meaningful events, and keep Kelly’s bright spirit alive through storytelling, laughter, and endless creativity.
Today, Ella’s plant-based lifestyle stands as far more than a diet— it represents a thoughtful, purposeful way of living that beautifully weaves together health, ethics, and care for the earth.
Through her recipes, her radiant positivity, and her gentle advocacy, she invites everyone to explore plant-based eating in whatever way feels right for them— offering not strict rules, but endless, delicious possibilities for a kinder, greener, healthier world.
