According to Daily Mail, on Tuesday, May 15, for the screening of his and wife Kelly Preston's new crime film Gotti, the Hollywood stars were accompanied to the premiere by their children, Ella Bleu and Benjamin.

The outing marked a rare appearance for the couple’s kids. Kelly and John’s 18-year-old daughter stunned on the red carpet, looking all grown up as she posed alongside her famous parents.

Ella entertained the assistants dressing in a floor-length black-and-white gown and a matching black sweater. She completed her look by wearing her dark tresses down with statement earrings.

Meanwhile Benjamin, who’s now a 7-year-old, adorably sported a navy blazer, white trousers, and printed t-shirt. The happy family posed together at the event, which was attended by Gotti director Kevin Connolly and rapper 50 Cent.

Travolta loves Cannes. It's where Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" debuted two decades ago and won the festival's top award, the Palme d'Or. This year's trip is more of a victory lap while premiering "Gotti."

Kelly and John have been married for 27 years. The couple suffered a tragic loss back in 2009 with the sudden death of their 16-year-old son Jett Travolta. Following the tragedy, the family welcomed their son Benjamin in 2011.
