It's been nearly four years since the heartbreaking loss of his beloved wife, Kelly Preston, and John Travolta is letting his heart open up to the possibility of love again. The legendary actor, who's been a beacon of strength for his family during this challenging time, is showing signs that he's ready to embrace a new chapter in his life. But let’s be real here—filling Kelly’s shoes? That’s no easy task.
Closer exclusively revealed that John would indeed be open to marriage again, but he knows that finding someone who matches the love and connection he shared with Kelly is going to take some time. “John would be open to marriage again, but Kelly’s shoes are really hard to fill,” an insider shared. “His kids, even though Ella just turned 24, are still his main priority.”
At 70 years old, John Travolta has built an incredible life with Kelly Preston, welcoming three beautiful children together: Ella, Ben, and their late son Jett. They tied the knot in 1991, and their love story was the stuff of legends. When Kelly tragically passed away in July 2020 after a private two-year battle with breast cancer, John took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute. “She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many,” he wrote. “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.”

John went on to express his gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from fans and friends, while also acknowledging the need for some space to heal. “Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while,” he continued. “But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal.”
Managing Grief and Finding Healing
The following year, John opened up about navigating his grief away from the spotlight. In an interview with Esquire Mexico, he shared insights into the deeply personal nature of mourning. “I learned that mourning someone, living in grief, is very personal,” he explained. “Grief is personal, and finding your own path is what could lead to healing. It’s different than someone else’s journey.”
Now, it seems like the Pulp Fiction star is ready to step into a new chapter. During the filming of Cash Out, John formed a special bond with co-star Kristin Davis, sparking rumors of a potential romance. According to a source, John has been nothing short of smitten with Kristin, calling her “smart and beautiful.” Their friends are rooting for them, believing they could be a great match. “Their friends think they’re perfect for each other and that if John doesn’t take a chance, he’ll miss out on a great opportunity,” the insider revealed.
While the two have an undeniable chemistry, John is taking things slow and steady. “John thinks the world of Kristin, but he’s not rushing into anything,” the insider added. Kristin, 59, has never been married and is a devoted mom to her two adopted children, Gemma and Wilson. The Emmy nominee and Sex and the City star seems to be a great match for John, and their connection has left many wondering where this budding friendship might lead.
Looking Ahead
For now, John and Kristin are staying in touch, leaving the door open for what the future might hold. As John continues to navigate this new chapter in his life, it’s clear that he’s keeping his heart open while honoring the love he shared with Kelly. With a bright future ahead, fans are excited to see how this story unfolds.
