The love story of John Travolta and Kelly Preston is reminiscent of a cinematic romance. Their paths first crossed during the audition for the 1989 film “The Experts,” leading to their marriage two years later in 1991. The union was blessed with three children: daughter Ella Bleu, and sons Benjamin and Jett, enriching their lives with joy and familial bliss.

John cherished his role as a father, particularly evident in his reflections during the filming of “From Paris with Love” in 2002, where he expressed the depth of his attachment to his children, especially Jett.

Jett’s arrival on April 13, 1992, was a momentous occasion for the family, with John spending the initial hours post-birth cradling his newborn son, a time he holds dear. However, tragedy struck in 2009 during a family holiday in the Bahamas when Jett, at the age of 14, passed away after a seizure led to a fatal accident in the bathroom.

The loss was profound for the family, with Jett previously diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at two years old, a condition leading to arterial inflammation and potential heart complications, despite being treatable.

Despite their grief, John and Kelly longed for another child. After Jett’s birth, the couple’s focus was on his healthcare, delaying their plans for another addition to the family. It wasn’t until 2000 that Ella was born, and despite subsequent efforts to expand their family, it took years before Kelly conceived again.

Remarkably, Kelly became pregnant naturally at 47, a blessing they were immensely grateful for.

On November 23, 2010, the family welcomed Benjamin, whose arrival brought immense joy and was seen as a miraculous addition, especially considering the lengthy period the couple tried to conceive and their ages at the time. Benjamin’s birth brought a renewed sense of purpose and joy to their home, with his parents and sister Ella eagerly embracing his presence.

Benjamin’s name was chosen for its gentle and timeless quality, reflecting the peace and tranquility he brought into their lives. His arrival was particularly healing for the family, still mourning Jett’s loss, with many around the world sharing in their joy and sending heartfelt messages of support.

Tragically, Kelly Preston passed away on July 13, 2017, after a two-year battle with breast cancer, leaving John to navigate the complexities of single parenthood.

In her memory, John expressed his gratitude for the support from medical teams and loved ones, and shared his intention to focus on supporting Ella and Benjamin through their loss.

Years after Kelly’s passing, the family continues to honor her memory, with Ella Bleu celebrating Benjamin’s teenage years with fond remembrance of their journey together.

Through the highs and lows, John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s story remains a testament to love, resilience, and the enduring bond of family.
