John Travolta and Kelly Preston were one of Hollywood’s favorite couples. They were married for 28 years, but their relationship had many ups and downs.
They met in 1989 on the set of the movie “The Experts”, and then John fell in love with Kelly at first sight. She was married then, but in an unhappy marriage. Two years later, John proposed to Kelly. She agreed to embark on an exciting love adventure.
At the wedding, Kelly was pregnant with their son Jett, and in 2000 they had a daughter. Nine years later, they faced great pain when they lost their son. They were on a family vacation in the Bahamas when Jett suffered a seizure and died in the bathroom. For John and Kelly it was a terrible blow.
A year later, they had a third child, a boy named Benjamin, who brought the light back into their lives.
There were rumors in the public that Travolta was homosexual and that he cheated on Kelly several times with masseurs. Even the famous Carrie Fisher said that “everyone knows John Travolta is gay.” However, as difficult as it was to deal with these accusations, the couple managed to maintain their marriage. In September 2019, they celebrated their wedding anniversary, and then dedicated emotional messages to each other on social networks. Kelly said:
“To my dearest Johnny, the best man I know. You gave me hope when I lost it, you loved me patiently and unconditionally. you make our life fun. I know that I will always be with you okay, no matter what happens, I will love you forever.
Just one year later, American media announced that actress Kelly Preston had died after two years of breast cancer treatment. That tragic news was confirmed by John, her lifelong companion.
“It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought bravely with our love and support. The family will be forever grateful to the doctors and friends who were there for her. We will always remember Kelly’s life full of love,” he wrote then.
