The death of a spouse is one of the hardest things you can deal with in life, especially when they pass away relatively young.

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Travolta and his family have been through a couple of very tough years. In 2020, his wife and mother to the couple’s children, Kelly Preston, passed away from breast cancer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through the years, Travolta evolved into one of the greatest actors of the century. Along the way, he met the love of his life, and together they created a wonderful family.

In 1992, following a proposal at the Palace Hotel restaurant in Gstaad, Switzerland the year before, John Travolta married Kelly Preston.

The couple tied the knot on September 5, 1991, in a secret ceremony at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris.

Kelly was born on October 13, 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and like John, she worked in the film industry. She studied acting at the University of Southern California, and in 1985, she started her acting career, appearing in several major movies such as Mischief, Twins, Jerry Maguire, and For Love of the Game.
