John adopted Peanut – formerly known as Mac N Cheese – for his son, Benjamin, now 15, in 2022 after the rescue puppy featured in a tribute to the late actress Betty White at the Academy Awards. 

During the In Memoriam segment, Jamie Lee Curtis brought Peanut on stage while honoring Betty's dedication to animal welfare.

Jamie Lee later revealed John had adopted Peanut in a lengthy message on social media alongside a photo of John and Ben, which in part read: "A MAGICAL ending to the story from last night. 

"At the Oscars I reconnected with my friend, John Travolta. @johntravolta We starred together in the movie PERFECT back in 1984."

She continued: "I had already left the Dolby theater last night after honoring Betty White and was on my way home when someone texted me a photo of John holding little mac & cheese in the green room before his presentation of the best actor Oscar. 

"I thought it was so beautiful to see him with her and then today I found out that he and his son, Ben have adopted beautiful little mac & cheese and are taking her home today."

John later shared a snapshot on Instagram of him standing proudly behind his then-eleven-year-old son, who was holding their new puppy. 

The pair looked smitten with the pup in the photo, which John had captioned: "Ben adopted this dog from last nights Oscar tribute to Betty White. Thank you @curtisleejamie & @pawworks."
