Meet the newest Travolta.
“She’s a Mini-Me of Johnny,” proud mom Kelly Preston says of baby daughter Ella Bleu, who has the same shock of black hair and “big delicious lips” as her dad, actor John Travolta.
“He was holding her the other day, and he did the Mini-Me dance with her,” the actress tells Redbook magazine in its September cover story.
“She was even doing the same sneer that he was. It was hilarious!” she says.
Preston, 37, and Travolta, 46, are both Scientologists who believe in “quiet birth” – where there is silence during labor and delivery.
She gave birth to the couple’s 8-year-old son, Jett, in a hospital, then had their blue-eyed daughter at their Los Angeles home, calling it an “unbelievably beautiful” experience.
“It got hard-core at the end because she was so big,” the actress said of her 13-hour labor with her ob-gyn and midwife present – and her husband helping.
“John put his hands under her arms while she was still halfway in, and I put my hand on his, and we pulled her out together and laid her on my chest,” Preston told the magazine.
“We let her stay on my chest for three or four minutes until the cord stopped pumping, and then Johnny cut it,” she said in the interview.
The Travoltas are celebrating their ninth anniversary, and Preston says her husband “is definitely the greatest guy I’ve ever been with – and I’ve been with some great guys.”
