'Ella is truly blessed'

The father and daughter duo reportedly share a tight bond and deep pride over each other's accomplishments.  The Pulp Fiction actor had Ella and her brother Ben, 12 with his late wife Kelly Preston who died at age 57 in July 2020 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, the couple lost their one son named Jett aged 16 in 2009. 

The kind words were immediately reciprocated by John, who commented, "I love you too my dearest Ella. More than you know." Fans also couldn't hold back and went on to share the bond the duo share, "Happy Birthday, John! Ella is truly blessed to have an amazing Dad like you!💕," one wrote, another one pointed out in a comment," Sweet Ella you have your mothers beautiful smile. ❤️ Happy Birthday, to your father." I admire you Ella You Are your father's keeper much like many of us! Please keep watching over him. One more wrote, "He's an amazing person with an amazing heart and so much love to give... Thank you both for being the Fantabulous people you are! And know you are loved and accepted! Love to both of you. From Ohio With Love!".

'You make parenting look so easy'

Ella starred in The Poison Rose, a thriller that starred her father and Morgan Freeman. John opened up to People in August 2019, about her saying, "She is her own person. She is gracious, generous, poised, graceful, and gorgeous," Travolta shared. He also added, "I don't know how she came to be, and I don't take any credit other than just adoring her. And maybe that's a valid contribution."

In return, Ella regularly reflects on the special relationship she shares with her father on social media and the influence he has had on her life. "You make parenting look so easy, though it not always is," she wrote in 2021. She captioned the post on Instagram, "You make every day better than the one before it. You bring joy to us when we are down. You are our best friend and we love you to the moon and back around. I hope to be even half as good of a parent as you someday❤️"
