John Travolta has been a well-known figure in the film industry for more than three decades. He is best known for his mesmerizing performances in classics like Grease and Saturday Night Fever.
But beneath the glittering exterior of fame, John, like everyone else, has faced hardships in his personal life, the most tragic of which was the passing of his wife Kelly Preston on July 12, 2020.
Kelly, a superb American actress, served as John’s compass; sadly, her presence was a treasured gift that was not to last. Three years ago, the actor who plays The Punisher lost his devoted wife, and the effects of her passing have been profound.
Since that time, John has been open about his sorrow over Kelly’s passing. Kelly, real name Kelly Kamalelehua Smith, bravely fought breast cancer for two years before passing away at the age of 57.
John’s grief is still apparent three years after Kelly passed away, and he can’t help but express it.
The Face/Off actor posted a heartfelt eulogy and a confirmation of his late wife Kelly’s passing on Instagram. “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,” the actor wrote. “.
John has been described as vowing never to date again and finding the grieving process to be overwhelming, if not intimidating, throughout this challenging journey.
Their beautiful marriage, which blossomed after they met on the set of the 1989 movie The Experts, is reminiscent of a fairy tale. John and Kelly’s love story is similar.
According to John, their chemistry was undeniable, as he stated in an interview with Us Weekly in 2018. Before Kelly’s tragic passing, their marriage, which lasted close to 29 years, seemed impenetrable.
Kelly had a diverse acting career that saw him in movies like Twins, The Cat in the Hat, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Jerry Maguire. One of her final on-screen appearances, which she shared with John, was in the 2018 crime biopic Gotti.
John honored Kelly this Mother’s Day by sharing a video of her enjoying a Mother’s Day surprise at their home on Instagram. The movie shows Kelly beaming with delight as she opens a “Mom” package, and their children, Ella, 23, and Benjamin, 12, were moved by the sight.
Happy Mother’s Day, Kelly.
The trio included a heartfelt message in the caption. Ben, Ella, and John, we miss you and love you. “.
On what was undoubtedly a trying day for the family, admirers flocked to them, showering them with love and support.
“I know you miss her, she was so lovely,” and “Your heart and her heart will always be connected.”. “.
