Yesterday (November 23), actress Kelly Preston, 48, gave birth to baby boy Benjamin, weighing 8 pounds and 3 ounces, in a Florida hospital, reports People.
"John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family," they say in a statement. "Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully."
Recently in the nesting phase, Preston confided that the whole family was in preparation mode as her due date approached. "I’ve been cleaning out everything in the house," Preston said in September. "Ella has been helping too. She’s looking forward to being a big sister."
In January 2009, the couple’s 16-year old son, Jett, suffered a fatal seizure. The following May 2010, the couple announced the pregnancy, and amidst public speculation, Travolta, 56, and Preston said they did not want to replace Jett. They had been trying to have more children for years and finally their wish was fulfilled.
