On July 12, the world lost an incredible woman, Kelly Preston, at the age of 57. In the days that followed, her husband, John Travolta, and their daughter, Ella Bleu, paid tribute to the beloved wife and mother whose life was marked by courage, grace, and unconditional love. It’s moments like these that remind us of the profound impact one person can have on so many lives.
Travolta Shares Emotional Message About Kelly
In a deeply personal post on Instagram, John Travolta, now 66, shared his heart with the world. “It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife, Kelly, has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer,” he wrote. His words reflect not only the sorrow of losing someone so dear but also the admiration and respect he had for her strength throughout her journey. She fought this battle with the love and unwavering support of countless people around her. “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,” Travolta continued. He reminded everyone that Kelly’s love and life would always be remembered—a testament to the legacy she leaves behind.
Time to Focus on Family
As any parent knows, there’s nothing more important than being there for your kids when they need you most. That’s exactly what Travolta plans to do. The star of Die Hard announced that he would be taking some time away from the spotlight to focus on his children, Ella, 20, and Benjamin, 9. Of course, this isn’t the first time Travolta has faced unimaginable loss. Alongside Preston, he also shared son Jett, who tragically passed away in 2009. But through it all, their bond as a family has remained unbreakable.

Ella Bleu’s Heartfelt Tribute
Meanwhile, Ella Bleu stepped forward to honor her mother with a tribute that was both heartfelt and eloquent. She described her mom as “courageous, strong, beautiful, and loving.” In her post, Ella expressed how anyone lucky enough to know Kelly or be in her presence could feel her radiant energy. “Anyone who is lucky enough to have known you or to have ever been in your presence will agree that you have a glow and a light that never ceases to shine and that makes anyone around you feel instantly happy,” Ella wrote. Her tribute went on to express gratitude for her mother’s unconditional love and guidance. “Thank you for being there for me no matter what. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your help and thank you for making this world a better place. You have made life so beautiful, and I know you will continue to do so always. I love you so much, mama,” she concluded.
A Lifetime Together
The couple tied the knot in 1991, beginning a beautiful journey filled with love and family. Their first child, Jett, was born in 1992, followed by daughter Ella eight years later. Tragically, Jett passed away in 2009 after suffering a seizure while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. It was an unimaginable loss that tested their strength, but through it all, they stood together. In 2010, the arrival of son Benjamin brought new hope and healing to the family, described by Travolta as a “beautiful kind of glue” that helped them re-bond after such a profound loss.
