Remembering Kelly Preston on Mother’s Day
It was a touching moment when John Travolta took the time to honor his late wife, Kelly Preston, on Mother’s Day. The iconic actor shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram that resonated with fans and admirers around the globe. Let’s face it, John Travolta’s life hasn’t been easy since losing his beloved wife, but this gesture shows just how much she meant to him and their family.
In his post, John, who’s now 70, wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day, Kelly. We love you, we miss you.” Alongside the message, he included pictures of Kelly with their children, Ella, Ben, and their late son, Jett. It’s a reminder of the beautiful family they built together and the legacy she leaves behind.
Life After Loss
Life has been a journey of healing for John since Kelly passed away from breast cancer at the age of 57 on July 12, 2020. Since her passing, the legendary Pulp Fiction star has remained single. As Mother’s Day approached this year, a source exclusively told Closer that John was feeling apprehensive about diving back into the dating scene.

“John doesn’t have a lot of work lined up right now, though he does have two projects in the pipeline, but nothing that really ignites his passion,” the insider explained. “His religion doesn’t seem to be the top priority for him anymore either. Since Kelly’s passing, he’s become less connected to Scientology. At the end of the day, John is afraid to open up, to be vulnerable again and fall in love, which is incredibly sad because he’s one of the kindest, nicest guys anyone could ever meet, with one of the biggest hearts.”
Why Love Feels Different Now
Even though John Travolta, the star of Grease, has been hesitant about putting himself back out there, it doesn’t mean he’s entirely closed off to the idea of getting remarried. A different source told Closer on April 8 that the challenge lies in the fact that Kelly’s legacy is hard to match. “Kelly’s shoes are hard to fill,” the source revealed, shedding light on why John might be taking his time.
Collaboration Sparks Hope
John’s been working on his upcoming movie, Cash Out, alongside Sex and the City star Kristin Davis. An insider shared with Closer in April that John and Kristin, 59, had an amazing time working together, and everyone on set couldn’t stop talking about their undeniable chemistry.
Even John’s children, Ella and Ben, are hopeful that their dad might consider giving dating another try, particularly with Kristin. “He’s totally smitten with her, thinks she’s adorable,” the source revealed on April 10. “They’re both single, and they really like each other, so of course everyone wants them to date. The most surprising supporters of a potential romance between John and Kristin are John’s kids, Ella and Ben. While no one could ever replace their mom, they think Kristin is great and believe their dad should start having fun again.”
Heartbreak and Healing
John and his family have faced more than their fair share of heartbreak over the past few years. Before Kelly’s tragic passing, the couple lost their son Jett after he suffered a seizure and hit his head on a bathtub while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. He was only 16 years old. Despite the pain, John continues to celebrate the lives of his loved ones. The Face/Off star regularly shares photos of his kids, including an annual tribute to Jett on his birthday, keeping his memory alive.
