Among all of the celebrities cheering in the stands, Olympians can count John Travolta and his 24-year-old daughter Ella Bleu Travolta as two of their fans.
The father-daughter duo spent the weekend in Paris and were spotted at Bercy Arena and Roland Garros Stadium, where the artistic gymnastics finals and the men's singles gold medal tennis match, respectively, took place.
The "Saturday Night Fever" star, 70, and his musician daughter started the weekend watching the men's floor exercise final and women's vault final on Saturday. The Bercy Arena crowd that day saw Simone Biles collect her third gold medal of the Paris 2024 Games for vault, while Stephen Nedoroscik, aka "Pommel Horse Guy," scored high enough on pommel horse to win a bronze medal.
The following day, they witnessed history as Serbia's Novak Djokovic defeated Spain's Carlos Alcaraz to earn a rare Golden Slam.
John Travolta's youngest child with late wife Kelly Preston – who died at 57 in 2020 following a breast cancer battle – 13-year-old Benjamin did not seem to be in attendance, per photos. Jett, who was the couple's eldest son, died in 2009 at 16 after experiencing a seizure during a family vacation.

In April, the father and daughter also made a rare public appearance at the 30th anniversary screening of "Pulp Fiction." Co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and Harvey Keitel were also in attendance to commemorate the cult classic's milestone.

Ella, who starred alongside her parents in the 2009 Disney film "Old Dogs," has previously called her father her "best friend" and "the most incredible man I have ever known."
For Independence Day, John Travolta shared that he and his two kids, along with "all my friends," took a private jet to New York to catch a game at Yankee Stadium.
The Paris 2024 Olympics have been a star-studded event, with everyone from Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes to Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and their kids spotted cheering on their favorite athletes.
