John Travolta is making memories with his children Ella, 25, and Ben, 14, who he shares with his late wife Kelly Preston. 

The Grease star gave fans a glimpse into how the family spent their Easter Sunday morning by sharing a rare photo taken from inside their home in Florida. 

The award-winning star took to Instagram to post a picture from inside his bedroom, where their family dog Peanut was seen eyeing up a Lindt Easter bunny.

In the caption, he was quick to reassure fans that Peanut would not be getting the chocolate - which is not good for dogs. "Happy Easter from me, Ella, Ben and Peanut! (Not to worry, she won’t eat the chocolate bunny.)" 

The snapshot also gave a rare look inside John's bedroom, which appears to have a grey and white color scheme, complete with a plush headboard.

Peanut was taken in by the Travolta family after John met him on Oscars night back in 2022. Jamie Lee Curtis had brought Peanut - who was called Mac N Cheese at the time - out on stage to honor the late actress Betty White, who was a huge advocate for animal welfare. 

John quickly fell in love with the puppy and held her for half an hour, before following up with the animal shelter the following day to adopt her for his son Ben. He later shared the happy news with fans on Instagram, posting a picture of himself, Peanut, and Ben. He wrote: "Ben adopted this dog from last [night's] Oscar tribute to Betty White. Thank you @curtisleejamie & @pawworks."

John Travolta: 5 top roles

1. Grease (1978)

John made his Broadway debut in Grease, initially replacing a supporting role. When the film adaption was made, he was upgraded to the lead role of Danny Zuko. He starred alongside Olivia Newton-John in this timeless, high-school romance musical. 

2. Saturday Night Fever (1977)

John embraced his disco era, where he played a 19-year-old Brooklyn boy who works in a hardware store in the day and is king of the disco dancefloor by night. The film, featuring songs by the Bee Gees, had one of the most successful soundtracks of all time. 

3. Pulp Fiction (1994)

In Quentin Tarantino's iconic Pulp Fiction, John played a hitman, a role which earned him major acclaim. 

4. Carrie (1976)

John played the dim-witted boyfriend of Carrie's main tormenter in this adaptation of Stephen King's novel. The film became an instant horror classic. 

5. Hairspray (2007)

In the 60s-style movie musical Hairspray, John played Edna, the mother of a young girl determined to dance on a local TV show and help integrate its predominately white cast.

While John's family home boasts a lot of lavish features, including a gym, swimming pool and even a functioning airport, there is a lot of home comforts too.

Homes expert, James Mellan Matulewicz, CEO & Creative Director at Bobbi Beck, gave his views to HELLO! on what makes John's family home so special. Unlike many celebrity homes, it has a lot of personal touches. 

He explained: "Many celebrity properties can end up feeling more like adverts for hotel rooms, where designer aesthetics can dominate so much that the house ends up feeling impersonal. This is something that Travolta family has managed to avoid in their Florida estate, which is quite clearly a sanctuary that prioritises home comforts over aesthetics."

John added: "Making a 7000 sq ft property feel cosy can be a challenge, but it's something that John and his family have managed to achieve. The Travolta property has a mixed tile throughout the rooms, rather than a single aesthetic through the house. "This design approach can create a more relaxing space because, while the design choices are eclectic, they feel very personal and ultimately, personal touches are what turn houses into homes."
