In 1989, John Travolta and Kelly Preston began dating. She was already married to actor Kevin Gage at the time, but he thought it was love at first sight.
They began dating after Princeton’s divorce became final, and on New Year’s Eve, John Travolta proposed to her. They finally got hitched on September 5, 1991.
Preston was two months pregnant with Jet when they got married. Sadly, he passed away while they were away when he was 16 years old. Ella and Ben were their other two children.
They would remain blissfully married for the following 28 years, but their 28th wedding anniversary would be the final time they would celebrate it.
On September 5, 2019, Preston and Travolta both paid tribute to one another. On social media, they did this, but Preston passed away before their subsequent anniversary. For two years, she had been battling breast cancer.
John Travolta is honoring Preston on the day she would have turned 60. He shared Preston’s photos and memories on social media, expressing his love and loss for her and wishing her a happy Mother’s Day.
Many users of social media expressed how much they were moved by this. They appreciate the 28 years they were fortunate to spend together.
