Actors John Travolta and Kelly Preston are having a baby.

The couple released a statement on their websites saying that they "are expecting a new addition to our family".

Travolta's publicist, Paul Bloch, confirmed that Preston is pregnant.

The 47-year-old actress and 56-year-old actor have a daughter, Ella, who is 10. The couple's son, Jett, died last year aged 16.

The family's two dogs were killed on Thursday in an accident at Maine's Bangor International Airport.
