Rep: Kelly Preston Not in Labor; John Travolta Jet Story '100 Percent False'
Did John Travolta fire up his jet and fly back to the United States from Australia this weekend? Yes. Did he cut short his trip Down Under because his Kelly Preston is in labor, as was reported Sunday by the
Herald Sun? Not so much, according to the star's rep.
"This story is 100 percent false," a spokesperson told
PEOPLE. "She's not in labor. John is in route back to the U.S. as was always the plan for him to return this weekend."
Of course, if she does go into labor while he's away, the scenario won't be so far-fetched.
The 'Hairspray' star, 56, confirmed recently that his wife, 47, was in the last month of her pregnancy; he told
Extra that her due date was Nov. 26. But the longtime pilot seemed certain he'd be able to rush home in time if the baby -- a boy -- decided to arrive early.
"If I get a call, I may have to say 'Adios,'" he remarked, not long after arriving in Australia to usher lucky contest winners on a tour of the country as a celebration of Qantas airline's 90th anniversary.
Preston, in keeping with the guidelines of the couple's Scientology faith, is reportedly prepared to have a silent birth.
She described the quiet 2000 birth of daughter Ella Bleu in one interview as "a peaceful, beautiful entry into this earth," but admitted there was groaning throughout the 13-hour labor.
Actress and fellow Scientologist Leah Remini told
People about the silent birth experience, "I don't want there to be a misconception that you're sitting there not grunting or screaming when a child is coming out. It's pretty painful. You just want to try to have the birth be as pleasant as possible for your baby."
Travolta revealed earlier this month that the couple plan to name their new son
Benjamin. The two spent 2009 grieving the death of 16-year-old son Jett, and testifying in a subsequent Bahamas
extortion case, against a paramedic and a politician who allegedly threatened to reveal private information about the boy's death. The case was ultimately dismissed.

He should have stayed at home with her. Dumb decision to fly to Australia.

I agree but congrats to them and that the new little boy is healthy.
Maybe if he wasn't a pilot, and I'm sure they BOTH talked it over. He was promoting a movie and the baby wasn't due until later in the month. A "normal" life they do not have!

it's not like it's dangerous she's full term as she was supposed to be due black friday November 26th. and besides most babies aren't born on their scheduled due date and subsequents are usually early anyway. John isn't about to convert back to Catholosimn now he's been a scientologist for about 35 years. good luck to them on the birth of Benjamin

Wishing both of them a happy arrival of their son Benjamin. Both of them are really nice people and deserve to be happy in their own way.

Those people in that cult all seem pretty strange! They have the most insane beliefs and shell out big bucks to these weirdos who are laughing all the way to the bank! What's wrong with these idiots? I have no respect for anyone who's into scientology! That is NOT a faith. At the library, it's listed under cults along with many other mind controlling groups. UGH

You mean like christianity Gia. What library are you talking about dear? Or possibly you meant the dictionary.
What an exciting event in their lives. This child is going to be so loved. Congrats to the family. Who give a fly ** what thier religion is, that is their business.

Good grief, she is almost 50. Can't imagine having a baby at that age. Must have been hard on her body.

I know what you mean! I am 37 and have a four year old, and it is hard enough keeping up with her (much more difficult than when I had four year olds at age 24 and 28)! Of course, she's in a financial position to have help, if needed. I wish them all the best!
