John Travolta's Daughter Lost Weight & Looks Like Her Mom – She Makes Dad Proud Following in His Footsteps

• John Travolta's daughter has lost weight and undergone a remarkable transformation over the years.
• She reportedly looks like her mom, Kelly Preston, who died over three years ago.
• She is also making waves in the entertainment industry, and her dad is delighted.

Ella Bleu Travolta, the daughter of Hollywood icon John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, is a rising star in her own right. Born into a family of accomplished actors, Ella has been navigating her path in the entertainment industry with grace and talent.

Ella's journey began under the watchful eyes of her parents. Her father is a renowned actor known for his roles in classics like "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever." Her mother was an equally talented actress who starred in films such as "Jerry Maguire" and "Twins." Tragically, Kelly passed away in 2020 after a two-year battle with breast cancer.

Ella, who was just 20 years old when her mother passed away, has shown remarkable resilience and determination. She has continued to pursue her passion for acting, transforming from a beautiful little girl making her screen debut in the 2009 movie "Old Dogs," into a stunning young woman.

Her transformation is not just evident in her blossoming acting career but also in her physical appearance. Over the years, she has undergone a significant weight loss journey, as evident from her before and after pictures.

In September 2012, Ella was spotted leaving the Pizza Pino restaurant in Paris, France. Accompanied by two young girls, she sported curly brown hair, showcasing her evolving style.

The following year, on June 20, 2013, she attended the "Killing Season" premiere with her dad at Sunshine Landmark in New York City, showcasing her growing confidence and poise.

Later that month, she stood tall beside her father at BFI Southbank in London, England, where he was being honored by the BFI as part of The Krasner Fund for the BFI program.

Fast forward to April 2021, Ella took to Instagram to share a carousel of two pictures — a current one and a throwback from when she was about nine. In both pictures Ella sported bangs, a hairstyle she shared she hadn't worn since she was nine.

In July of the same year, she shared a video promoting her film, a reimagining of "Alice In Wonderland" titled "Get Lost." Ella's transformation has not gone unnoticed by her fans. They often comment on her posts, noting her striking resemblance to her late mother. Fans often make comments such as, "Beautiful like your mother," "You look just like your mom here," and "You have your mama's eyes."

In February 2023, she shared a clip of herself having fun and taking pictures with a friend. The comments section was filled with praises like, "I can't get over how you're the perfect mix of both your parents! What a blessing," "You are 50/50 mom and dad. How lucky," "You are so beautiful. Lot of your dad in you," and "Ella, you're such a beautiful combo of your parents."

The bond between Ella and her now single father is unmistakably strong. When Ella was just 16, she accompanied him to the Ellen Degeneres show. During the show, John candidly shared his non-interfering approach to Ella's dating life, even admitting his uncertainty about her relationship status.

In 2018, at 18, Ella graced the red carpet alongside her father and mother at the Cannes Film Festival, where John was honored with the Variety Cinema Icon award. The family presented a united front, and their outfits were harmoniously coordinated.

Ella stood taller than her mother and almost as tall as her dad. She was a vision in a dramatic black and white tulle gown featuring a fitted patterned bodice and elegant three-quarter-length black sleeves. She styled her long brunette hair sleek and straight and wore a pair of glittering diamond earrings that added the finishing touches to her stunning ensemble.

At 19, Ella took a significant step in her acting career by starring alongside her father in the film noir detective thriller "The Poison Rose." In the film, John's character, a private investigator, returns to his hometown in Galveston, Texas, to solve a missing persons case.

Ella portrayed the wife of a murdered college football player, finding herself at the center of the investigation as the prime suspect. Working with her father on this project was an exciting experience for Ella. She lovingly described him, "He is the best mentor that I could ever ask for, and having him there was just a gift."

She also noted that he was always there to provide guidance and support when needed. In a 2023 interview, she shared that her father often offers her valuable relationship advice. Ella has not only made her mark in the film industry but has also ventured into other areas.

Inspired by her mother Kelly's appearance in a "Got Milk?" ad in the early 2000s, Ella became one of the faces of Silk Nextmilk's plant-based milk campaign last year. She admired her mother's campaign, saying, "It's amazing cause I didn't know that she had done it until a few months ago and I looked at it and I was just amazed and it's definitely an inspiration."

John, a constant source of support for his daughter, was present for the campaign shoot. Ella spoke fondly of their relationship, saying, "I say he's my biggest fan and I'm his biggest fan."

In addition to acting and advertising, Ella is also a singer. In 2022, she released a music collection and showcased her singing and guitar-playing skills in a promotional clip. Fans praised her talent, with comments like "Such a beautiful voice" and "Voice of an angel."

Following Kelly's death, Ella and John have kept her memory alive with heartfelt tributes. A month after her passing, they shared a dance, in memory of her. John's caption read, "My daughter and I dancing in memory of momma. One of Kelly's favorite things, dancing with me."

In February 2021, the father-daughter duo appeared in a commercial where they danced together in a yard. Recently, Ella celebrated her father's 70th birthday with a lovely tribute, expressing her admiration and love for him. Previously, Ella referred to her dad as her "role model," "best friend," and "the person who has taught me one of the most valuable lessons in life, kindness."

When it comes to his daughter's achievements, John Travolta is effusive in his admiration. As a proud father, he shared, "She is her own person. She is gracious, generous, poised, graceful and gorgeous."

The actor continued, "I don't know how she came to be, and I don't take any credit other than just adoring her." He further suggested that this very adoration might have been a significant influence on her.
