As you might expect, the comments section was filled with well-wishes and compliments. Fans couldn’t help but notice how much Ella and Ben resemble their dad. “Strong genes lol they both have your face,” one commenter joked, while another added, “Ben looks like mama and Ellie [sic] looks like papa.” It’s clear that John’s kids are growing into their own, and the resemblance is uncanny.

High School Musical actor Bart Johnson wrote, “Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family!!” Another fan, actor William DeMeo, added, “Happy New Year brother,” with a few heart emojis for good measure.

A Year Full of Love and Memories
John shares his children with his late wife, Kelly Preston, who tragically passed away in July 2020 after battling breast cancer for two years. Despite the loss, John continues to make beautiful memories with his kids, and this New Year’s photo is just one example of that.
Ella, too, shared a glimpse into their holiday celebrations. On December 27, she posted a photo of their Christmas tree and some holiday baking, captioning it, “Merry Christmas everyone, so much love to you all.” Fans were quick to respond, with actress Fiona Palomo writing, “Merry Christmas!! I love you all!!!” Ella sweetly replied, “Merry Christmas Fi!!! Love you.”
Ben’s Birthday and Ski Adventures
Weeks before the New Year, John celebrated Ben’s birthday with a touching tribute on Instagram. “Happy birthday my Ben. Your dad loves you! And so does Peanut!” he wrote alongside a sweet photo of Ben and their dog, Peanut, on November 23. John also shared a video of Ben skiing, captioning it, “Ben’s summer snow ski adventures in the southern hemisphere!” It’s clear that Ben is following in his dad’s adventurous footsteps.
Throughout 2024, John documented his travels with Ella and Ben, whether it was skiing or attending the Paris Olympics. An insider told Closer in September, “John’s having the time of his life at 70. He’s incredibly generous and looking after everybody. The bills are all on him and he wouldn’t have it any other way.”
