It might sound like a title from a 1980s edition of National Enquirerbut there is real reason to believe that John Travolta and Elvis Presley are connected by family ties.
Yes, a surprising new lawsuit claims that Elvis’ granddaughter, Riley Keough, is the stepmother of Travolta’s youngest son.
In documents obtained by TMZ, the two plaintiffs say Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, “approached” the Presleys for an egg donation around 2010.
The plaintiffs, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, are Priscilla Presley’s business partners, who are currently in a legal battle with Presley’s son, Navarone Garcia, over alleged breach of contract.
They say in their lawsuit that Travolta and Preston have a long-term interest in having a child with Presley genetics.
Kruse and Fialko said that John and Kelly had “used Lisa Marie before [Presley]the eggs will be fertilized,” although it is unclear whether the pregnancy ended.
The complaint also states that Lockwood said the couple “no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs because they didn’t want ‘eggs with heroin’ in them.”

After shifting their focus to Lisa Marie, Travolta and Preston allegedly “worked out a deal” where Lisa Marie’s 20-year-old daughter, Riley Keough, “gave Travolta her eggs, so Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta,” who was born in 2010.
The lawsuit alleges that Keough received an “old Jaguar” and between $10,000 and $20,000 in compensation.
Kruse and Fialko say the goal of their lawsuit is not to embarrass the Presley family, but to bring the truth to light.
“This amended complaint is about revealing the truth, setting the record straight, and providing evidence of the work done in good faith to bring peace, resolution, and stability to the Presley family, despite exposure to ongoing instability,” their attorney, Jordan Matthews, said in a statement provided. Entertainment Weekly.

“Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their associates have shown that there are no laws too low, no rules of conduct they are willing to cross in an effort to cause pain to Priscilla Presley and her family,” Presley family attorney Marty Sinder said in a statement. Us Weekly.
“In a completely unwarranted attempt to put undue pressure on Presley to recant his legitimate, factual claims, Kruse and his associates sued Presley’s son, cousin and assistant.”
