It’s a boy for John Travolta and Kelly Preston, and the new baby’s name is Benjamin.

The couple welcomed their new son Tuesday at a Florida hospital, they said through a publicist. He’s 8 pounds, 3 ounces.

‘John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully,’ the statement said.
