Travolta rep denies Preston labour reports

John Travolta's representative has denied reports that the actor is preparing for wife Kelly Preston to give birth.

It had been reported that the Pulp Fiction star decided to end a recent trip to Australia prematurely after learning that Preston had gone into labour back in the US.

However, a spokesperson for the actor - who was in the country to appear at a telethon event - has since told TMZ that the rumour is untrue.

Travolta and Preston confirmed their pregnancy back in May and it was recently suggested that they will welcome a baby boy who has been named Benjamin.

The couple are already parents to daughter Ella Bleu. Their son Jett passed away in 2009.
