The “Paradise City” star took to Instagram to share the heartfelt photo with his children, captured outdoors against a wintry background. For the occasion, John and Ella wrapped up warmly in dark jackets and scarves, while Benjamin opted for a casual look in a short-sleeve navy T-shirt.
One fan remarked, “Daughter is just as beautiful as the mother and boy copycat his dad.” “Beautiful❤️. Ella looks like mom and Ben definitely looks like John. 💕,” another fan echoed similar sentiments. Compliments flowed in, with one fan noting, “Beautiful daughter she looks like her mother, with her handsome brother, and dad.”
Ella’s features captivated more fans, with one saying, “Ella definitely looks like the mom. But has John features as well! Boy looks like him strong Genes !! Sleep Well Kelly 🕊️.” Someone else shared their detailed observation, “😍 she has his eyes he has his smile!!! Beautiful children😍.”
One fan marveled at Benjamin’s growth while wishing the family a splendid 2025, “Wow…your son grew so much…he is unrecognizable. Handsome fellow. Happy New Year, John. 🥳.”
The family’s lawyer at the time, Michael Ossi, shared that Jett suffered a seizure at their vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey reported that the teenager was found unconscious in the bathroom by a caretaker around 10 a.m.
John keeps the memory of his late son close to his heart, often sharing heartfelt tributes on what would have been Jett’s birthday. In 2022, he posted a touching photo with the caption, “My dearest Jetty, I miss you more than words can say. I think about you every day. Happy Birthday. Love, your Dad.”
The rep paid tribute to Kelly, writing, “She was a bright, beautiful and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched.”
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ella had recorded several voice notes on her phone, capturing song ideas and melodies she had created, often using her ukulele. After crafting a few, she felt it was time to share them and chose to play them for her father.
The 24-year-old also gets advice on the entertainment industry from her dad. “I run things by him a lot. He’s a complete role model for me and one of the biggest things also that he does is he’ll give me advice. The best advice that I’ve gotten obviously is from him,” she shared.
Today, despite the challenges they’ve faced, Ella, John, and Benjamin continue to share a strong and loving bond, supporting one another as they navigate life together.
