Baby Boy Is 'New Beginning' For Travolta Family

NEW YORK (AP) — John Travolta says their 7-week-old baby boy is "a new beginning" for his family.

The actor and his wife, Kelly Preston, posed with their son, Benjamin, for the cover of the new issue of People magazine.

Travolta says Benjamin has "brought us a new beginning" and "given the house a renewed spirit and purpose."

Travolta and Preston's oldest child, son Jett, died in 2008 at the age of 16.

Benjamin was born in November in Florida. Preston, 48, and Travolta, 56, also have a 10-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu.
