Travolta, Preston and Baby!

Tue., Apr. 4, 2000 10:25 AM PDT by

In the great Hollywood stork derby of 2000, John Travolta and Kelly Preston have outraced fellow power couple Annette Bening and Warren Beatty to the nursery.

Preston, 37, gave birth to a baby girl yesterday, the duo announced today in a statement.

And fortunately, unlike her big bro Jett, the newborn wasn't saddled with a plane-related moniker (think: Winger) to honor daddy's favorite hobby. No, the newest Travolta is named Ella Bleu.

"This is a wonderful day for our family," the Tinseltown twosome jointly proclaimed.

A pre-couple Preston and Travolta, 46, worked together in the 1989 bomb The Experts. The two wed in 1991. Jett was born a year later.

Preston, last seen in For Love of the Game, appears later this year with Billy Bob Thornton in the aptly named Daddy and Them. Travolta has the sci-fi thriller Battlefield Earth (based on a pulp book by novelist/Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard) due out in June, and a comedy called Numbers coming in the fall.

As for the Bening/Beatty baby, it is due, well, any second now.
