Elvis Presley may have a secret great-grandchild.

Lisa Marie Presley donated her eggs so that John Travolta, 71, and Kelly Preston could “get pregnant,” while her daughter, Riley Keough, is the biological mother of their other son, Ben, 15, according to allegations shared as part of a bombshell new legal document obtained by the National Enquirer.

Priscilla Presley’s former business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, made the allegations as part of an amended complaint in their $50 million breach of contract lawsuit against her son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, which was filed on Tuesday, December 16.

Immediately after Lisa Marie’s death at age 54 in 2023, the complaint reads, “the entire Presley family clamored for control of the estate and for pay-outs, using Plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko as both negotiators and mediators” — and Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, father to her 17-year-old twins Harper and Finley, was one of them.

The musician, 61, allegedly told Kruse “that John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, had been unable to bear her own children, and Travolta and Presley previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant” the document reads. From the filing, it is not clear that Lisa Marie’s eggs produced a child.

According to the complaint, Lockwood, who was married to Lisa Marie from 2006 to 2021, claimed the Travoltas approached the Presleys again in 2010, a year after their son Jett’s tragic death from a seizure at 16.

“Lockwood claimed that Travolta needed to help salvage his career amid claims of sexual assault against other men, which threatened his career as a leading man,” the complaint continues.

“Lockwood claimed that Travolta said he no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs because they did not want ‘eggs with heroin’ on them,” the complaint reads, referring to her opioid addiction, “and they orchestrated a deal, where Riley Keough gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta” in November 2010. Preston died after a long battle with breast cancer in 2020 at age 57.

In exchange, the complaint reads, Lockwood claimed the actress, now 36, “was given an old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 – $20,000 for the deal.”

Furthermore, the filing alleges, Lockwood “claimed that the entire arrangement required a ‘sign off’ from the Church of Scientology, which heavily involved Priscilla’s oversight.”

Lisa Marie’s ex wanted Kruse and Fialko to use the shocking secrets “to orchestrate a settlement for him and his daughters,” the complaint alleges.

But when Garcia found out, they claim, he “threw a tantrum, demanding that Plaintiffs keep Riley’s and Travolta’s son out of the press, since Priscilla promised him that he would be the only male musician in the family and would now be the ‘king.’” They also allege that the Them Guns lead singer, 38, “demanded a multi-million-dollar settlement.”

The National Enquirer has previously reported on the secret grandchild who “resides in Florida” and was never acknowledged by Priscilla, 80, and Lisa Marie, which was revealed as part of Kruse and Fialko’s lawsuit against Priscilla. The Travoltas are based in Ocala.

Priscilla, who is countersuing Fialko and Kruse for fraud and elder abuse, has denied all allegations made against her in their initial suit through her attorney, Marty Singer, who told The New York Times that the “shameful, ridiculous, salacious and meritless” claims are “nothing more than a sad and vicious attempt to falsely tarnish the reputation of an 80-year-old woman.”

But now great-grandson Ben is allegedly and officially named in court documents. “Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko are heartbroken that they have been forced to file their most recent amended complaint,” their attorney, Jordan Matthews, said in a statement to the Enquirer. “This amended complaint is about revealing the truth, correcting the record, and providing evidence of the work that was done in good faith to bring peace, resolution, and stability to the Presley family, despite being exposed to constant volatility.”
