John Travolta Has Father-Daughter Day Out with Ella at Paris Olympics ArticlePure

John Travolta and his daughter Ella Bleu stepped out at the 2024 Summer Olympics — and they dressed for the occasion in Paris!

On Saturday, Aug. 3, the father-daughter duo posed for snaps and greeted onlookers as they made their way into Paris’ Bercy Arena to cheer on Team USA gymnasts.

Walking into the venue, the actor, 70, could be seen wearing blue jeans, a dark blazer, a black mock turtleneck and a chain around his neck. He completed the look with sunglasses and his beard.

Ella, 24, opted for a more French-focused style, wearing a black beret to round out an all-black fit.

The pair were presented with quite the show on Saturday, too, as they watched Simone Biles score her third Paris gold medal — as the Olympian bested Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade (silver) and Team USA’s Jade Carey (bronze).

During Biles’ performance, NBC’s Olympic broadcast cut to a shot of Travolta clapping proudly in the crowd after she completed a vault, as fans pointed out an apparent stoic look on his face.

Biles now has ten medals: seven golds, one silver and two bronzes.

Her average score in her two vaults landed at 15.300. She previously won gold in the event in Rio 2016 and withdrew from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics despite qualifying as she was dealing with the twisties at the time.

Carey, Biles and their teammates — Chiles, Suni Lee and Hezly Rivera — won the gold medal in the women’s team final in Paris earlier this week. Then, on Aug. 1, Biles also achieved gold-medal status in the women’s all-around, in which Lee took the bronze medal.

The Paris outing comes just a month after the Cash Out actor, his 13-year-old son Benjamin, and Ella all enjoyed a firework display on the Fourth of July, after Travolta checked out a Yankees game with his kids.

Travolta is dad to Ella, Benjamin and late son Jett — whom he welcomed with his late wife Kelly Preston. 

It’s been a busy year as a dad for Travolta, who has continued to support his kids’ athletic endeavors, has brought Ella along with him on red carpets and even celebrated his 70th birthday with his family by his side.

In honor of her dad’s 70th birthday in February, Ella shared a touching tribute to Instagram, featuring a throwback image of her and the actor making frowning faces for a camera.

“Happy Birthday to the man who is always by my side and who is always bringing light and beauty into this world. I love you to the moon and back??,” Ella wrote in the caption.

Travolta returned the favor during Ella’s 24th birthday in April, when he posted a sweet video montage of her special day — including shots of her baking a cake and joining him on a classic car ride. “Happy birthday Ella. I love you. Your dad!” Travolta’s caption read.
