John Travolta responded to his daughter's post, writing in the comments, \"I love you dearest Ella. More than you know.\"

The \"Grease\" actor and his late wife Kelly Preston, who died in 2020, welcomed daughter Ella Bleu Travolta in April 2000. Travolta is also father to Benjamin Travolta, 12, and the late Jett Travolta, who died in 2009 at the age of 16.

Through the years, Travolta has been open about the close bond he shares with his children on social media. Over the holidays, he shared videos on Instagram of him celebrating with his children.

Last year, when Ella Bleu Travolta released her song \"Dizzy,\" Travolta showed his support by sharing the song with his fans on his Instagram page.
