John Travolta dedicates his life to raise their children after Kelly Preston passes away.
John Travolta has had a lot of experiences in his life. In addition to his well-known roles, including that of greaser Danny Zuko, Travolta’s character and commitment as a husband and parent are what have kept him going strong.
After a two-year fight with breast cancer, his wife of 28 years, Kelly Preston, died in July 2020. She was fifty-seven years old. Travolta has been doing his utmost to remain positive in the face of this tragedy because of their two children, son Benjamin and daughter Ella.
Before his beloved wife passed away, the Travolta family experienced yet another tragedy: in January 2009, Michael and Kelly lost their 16-year-old son Jett to a seizure.
White on vacation in the Bahamas, Jett suffered a seizure and passed away. His parents were heartbroken. At the time of the loss, Travolta told US Weekly, “It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in my life.” To be honest, I wasn’t sure whether I would make it out alive.
When Kelly died, a family source told People, “She had been receiving medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends, choosing to keep her fight private.”
She was a bright, beautiful, and kind individual who brought vitality to everything she touched. Her family asks that you take into account their present privacy needs.
Preston made the decision to keep her breast cancer diagnosis a secret. Sally Phillips, who costarred with her in her most recent film, Off the Rails, said on the British talk show “Loose Women” that they were unaware of it during production. Sally continued by explaining that celebrities usually hide health issues for fear of losing their job and movie insurance.
Because they are concerned about getting insurance for the movie and finding new employment later, people go through it alone, she said. Sally also raised awareness of similar situations including Helen McCrory and Chadwick Boseman, who similarly made the decision to keep their health conditions private.
Along with sharing his sorrow on Instagram, Travolta said, “My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side.” Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. He used the occasion to thank everyone who supported him during the challenging times for the family.
He still feels melancholy on his first birthday without Kelly by his side, but his children helped him cope. Ella has paid a moving tribute to Travolta, describing him as “the most incredible man I have ever known,” as she pursues a career in movies, following in her parents’ footsteps.
“You are not just the best parent I have ever known, but you are also my best friend. We are grateful for all of your daily contributions to our lives, especially your love, support, and parenting. Having you is as fortunate for us as it is for everyone else. Daddy, you have my love. I had a terrific time celebrating your birthday with you yesterday,” Ella wrote.
On what would have been his late wife’s 59th birthday, Travolta paid tribute to her on Instagram by sharing a photo of her along with the words, “Happy Birthday Kelly.” We truly miss and adore you.
Ella also shared a touching message on social media about how much she misses her mom. “Happy Birthday, Mama,” she wrote. You are sorely missed and adored.
After the tragedy, some of Travolta’s friends allegedly tried to help him get back on the dating scene, but it seems that the actor is still in sorrow and isn’t quite ready to move on.
“John has had no shortage of friends wanting to set him up and there are a lot of women who would love to go out with him,” an insider told OK! Magazine.
John is flattered, but he really doesn’t give a damn.
Because they are aware of his tension between being the best father he can be, staying single, and allowing love to enter his life again, no one wants to push him. Everyone is allowing John the time and space he needs to sort things out.
In an interview on Kevin Heart’s talk show, Heart to Heart, Travolta talked about the conversation he had with his son Benjamin after his mother passed away.
Travolta recalled, “[Ben] told me once, ‘I’m terrified you’re going to die because your mother died. I replied, “Well, it’s a very different thing.” I also talked about the differences between my brief life and hers.
I went on, “But Ben, you always love the truth, and I’m going to tell you the truth about life.” He went on to say, “There is no way to predict when they will leave or remain.”
I said, “Your brother [Jett] left at sixteen.” Too young. Your mother passed away at the age of 57. It was too young. But who knows? “I might pass away tomorrow,” I murmured. You may. Anyone can. Let’s accept it as a fact of life, then. You’re not entirely certain. You just make every effort to live as long as you can.
John Travolta talked about how he manages his sadness while keeping a low profile in an interview with Esquire Mexico.
I’ve learned that mourning and sadness are highly personal feelings. “It’s personal; only your own path will heal you,” Travolta told the magazine. Every individual has a unique experience with it. The best way to help someone is to let them go through their pain without interfering with your own. That’s what I found out.
Travolta is very proud of his two children and has a good relationship with them.
He has never squandered the chance to openly show his love for his children and to tell them how much they mean to him. The good news is that Ella and Benjamin do the same.
Actress Ella, who is descended from her famous parents, says her father is her role model and the most important person in her life.
Two of Ella’s most well-known films are Old Dogs (2009) and The Poison Rose (2019). “Since I was very young, I have loved performing, singing, dancing, and throwing shows for my family and friends at home,” she told People.
During Parent’s Day, the Saturday Night Fever star shared his thoughts on fatherhood, saying, “Being a father is a privilege.” You are loved, my darlings. “Happy Father’s Day to all of you,” he wrote alongside images of his children.
