“It floored me how poised, confident, elegant, sweet, gorgeous (I don’t think there are actually enough adjectives in the English language for me to properly articulate how perfectly she held her own)…” the proud mom added.

“I am beyond proud of her and all of her accomplishments, but most of all I am proud and honored to have her as my daughter. I love you and congratulations,: Preston concluded.

“Since I was very little, I’ve loved performing, singing, dancing and putting on shows at home for my family and friends,” she said.
Ella also explained how helpful it is to have Preston and Travolta at her disposal for any Hollywood-related needs.
“When I have any questions, my mom and dad have the best advice, and that’s amazing,” she said. “I love that it’s sort of the family business!”
