John Travolta can’t believe how fast his son is growing up.

“Happy Birthday my dear Ben! I can’t believe how quickly you’ve grown up! I love you!” Travolta captioned his post.
In addition to Ben, the Hairspray star also shares daughter Ella Bleu, 25, and late son Jett, who died at the age of 16 in 2009, with his late wife Kelly Preston.

Travolta shared additional snaps from Norway earlier this month, including a video of Ben hiking a snow-covered mountain.
In the clip, which was set to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Ben looked all grown up as he sported a large white coat and walked up the cliff before standing and looking at the scenic mountain view.
“Ain’t no mountain high enough for my son Ben. Love from Norway,” Travolta wrote in his caption.
“🙌😍,” Ella wrote in the comment section under her father’s post.
Last November, Travolta penned a sweet message on Ben’s 14th birthday.
“Happy birthday my Ben. Your dad loves you!” the proud father wrote at the time as he shared a photo of Ben and their dog Peanut. “And so does Peanut!”

A few weeks later, the two-time Oscar-nominated actor marked the new year alongside daughter Ella and son Ben, according to a photo shared to his Instagram page late on Wednesday, Jan. 1.
“Happy new year from the Travolta family,” the Pulp Fiction star wrote in the caption of the sweet shot, which was snapped as he and his children stood outside amid a wintry backdrop.
For the get-together, both Travolta and Ella were bundled up, each wearing dark jackets and scarfs. Ben, meanwhile, stayed cool in a short-sleeve navy T-shirt.
