John Travolta has a lot to celebrate in 2025.
The two-time Oscar-nominated actor rang in the new year with his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta, 24, and son Benjamin Travolta, 14, according to a photo he shared on his Instagram page late Wednesday, January 1.
“Happy New Year from the Travolta family,” the 70-year-old Pulp Fiction the star captioned the sweet photo, which was taken as he and his kids stood outside amid a wintry backdrop.
Both John and Ella were dressed for the gathering, each wearing dark jackets and scarves. Benjamin, on the other hand, remained cool in a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt.
John shares Ella and Ben with his late wife Kelly Preston, who died of breast cancer in July 2020 aged 57. The two were also parents to a son, Jett, who died in 2009 at the age of 16.

“My little bird, don’t cry”, sings Ella Blue in a touching ballad. “Listen to my lullaby, everything will be alright”

Speaking to PEOPLE in October, Ella Bleu gushed about her father’s support, recalling that he encouraged her to explore her songwriting after hearing snippets of tunes she wrote and recorded on her phone during the pandemic.
“He said, ‘Oh, wow, you should really finish this. You should finish these songs, and then you could demo them or something,'” she said, adding that his father’s enthusiasm “was definitely a big part of I want to get into it even more.”
Both John and Benjamin have since become instrumental in the songwriting process.
“They’re so supportive,” Ella Bleu added, “and definitely a big part of it if I ever think, ‘Okay, do I like this song?’ I always have their opinion and I value it very much.”
