Saturday Night Fever (1977) catapulted John Travolta to global fame, and his star rose even higher with Grease. Born in 1954 in New Jersey, Travolta, the youngest of his family, left high school to pursue acting, a decision that ultimately paid off.
Over the years, Travolta has appeared in numerous films, including Two of a Kind (1983), Pulp Fiction (1994), Get Shorty (1995), Broken Arrow (1996), Wild Hogs (2007), and Gotti (2018).
In 1991, he married actress Kelly Preston, who later shared that she hadn’t been happy in her previous marriage. Travolta and Preston were together for nearly 30 years before Kelly passed away from breast cancer in 2020.
The couple had three children: Jett, who passed away in 2009, Ella Bleu, born in 2000, and Benjamin, born in 2010. Losing Jett was devastating for Travolta, who found strength in his remaining family. His daughter, Ella, also followed her parents into acting, grateful for their guidance.
After Kelly’s passing, Ella posted a heartfelt tribute, calling her mother the “best person” she’d ever known. Ella shares a close bond with her father, who often expresses his pride in her, including sharing a special video of them dancing in honor of Kelly’s memory.
Travolta’s love for his family shines through, and he continues to cherish every moment with them. Family remains his greatest priority.
