John Travolta welcomes third child

LONDON - Hollywood star John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston have welcomed their third child, a baby boy, and named him Benjamin.

The 48-year-old actress gave birth to Benjamin Tuesday in Florida and both mother and baby are fine, reports contactmusic.com.

“John, Kelly and their (10-year-old) daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully,” said a source close to the couple.

The couple had announced the pregnancy in May.

Their friends called the new-born a “healing baby” after the couple’s 16-year-old son Jett died two years ago when he suffered a seizure during a family holiday to Bahamas.
