Ella Bleu Travolta: From Hollywood Legacy to Plant-Based Lifestyle Advocate
Ella Bleu Travolta, daughter of actors John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, is carving a path that blends entertainment with wellness, embracing a vegan, plant-based lifestyle grounded in ethics, health, and sustainability.
Roots, Family, and Early Spotlight
Born April 3, 2000, in California, Ella’s arrival was as intimate as it was memorable. Kelly once recalled the moment she and John helped welcome their daughter:
“John put his hands under her arms while she was still halfway out, and I put my hand on his, and we pulled her out together and laid her on my chest.”
Ella grew up as a loving sister—first to her late brother, Jett (1992–2009), and later to Benjamin (born 2011). Kelly shared how overjoyed Ella was to meet her baby brother:
“You would have thought Ella was having Benjamin herself… she was elated, to say the least. When she first saw him, she fell in love.”
Drawn to performance early on, Ella staged home shows in Maine and made her screen debut at age nine in Old Dogs alongside her parents, later reuniting with her dad on The Poison Rose. By 2024, she’d expanded into modeling and music, adding creative range to her résumé.
Choosing Vegan: Health, Ethics, and the Planet
In 2022, Ella tested a plant-based diet for two weeks at a friend’s urging—and never looked back. Documentaries and research deepened her understanding of the environmental stakes, from reducing carbon footprints to conserving water.
“It has really been a game-changer in how I feel — overall I have more energy, and I feel great,”
she told Greenmatters. While her father hasn’t adopted veganism, Ella’s approach is inclusive and low-pressure:
“For me, I never try to force or convince someone to go plant-based… I’m definitely always sharing the benefits I’ve experienced and encourage friends and family to try the food.”
What She Eats (and Loves to Make)
Breakfast go-to: toast with crunchy peanut butter, a drizzle of agave, and pumpkin-spice seasoning—quick, protein-forward, and energizing.
Baking favorites: “delicious” vegan banana bread and a plant-based riff on Tom Cruise’s famous coconut bundt cake—both a hit at home.
John’s verdict on her cake?
“It’s delicious, oh my goodness.”
In 2023, Ella launched @ellableubakes on Instagram to share recipes and highlight cafés and restaurants offering plant-based dishes. One of her favorites: PLANTA, known for globally inspired vegan menus. Morning ritual: matcha with dairy-free milk.
Wellness, Confidence, and Life After Loss
Growing up under Hollywood’s gaze can invite harsh commentary, particularly around appearance. Despite unkind tabloid chatter when she was younger, Ella’s shift to a plant-forward lifestyle appears to support a grounded sense of health and confidence—an inside-out transformation reflected in her work and presence.
After losing Kelly Preston to breast cancer in 2020, Ella and her father strengthened an already close bond. They travel together, attend events—from the Paris Olympics to the TCM Classic Film Festival—and continue honoring family and craft.
A Purpose-Driven Path
For Ella Bleu Travolta, veganism is more than a diet—it’s a mindful, purpose-led way of living that aligns health, ethics, and environmental responsibility. Through her kitchen experiments, approachable recipes, and open-hearted advocacy, she’s inviting others to explore plant-based eating on their own terms—no pressure, just possibility.
