John Travolta and Kelly Preston have welcomed a baby boy.

A publicist said the couple have named their new son Benjamin.

The boy weighed 8lb 3oz and was born at an undisclosed Florida hospital on Tuesday.

Spokeswoman Samantha Mast said in a statement that the couple and their daughter, Ella Bleu, "are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family".

The statement said Kelly and baby Benjamin "are healthy and doing beautifully".

This is the third child for John and Kelly, who married in 1991.

Their eldest child, son Jett, died last year aged 16.
