John Travolta has been through so much throughout his life. Adored by many not only for his iconic roles, like that of greaser Danny Zuko among the rest, but also because of his nature and devotion as both a parent and a husband, Travolta is still going strong. In July of 2020, his wife of 28 years, Kelly Preston, lost her life after battling breast cancer for two years. She was 57 years old. Ever since this tragedy, Travolta is doing his best to stay positive because of their two children, daughter Ella and son Benjamin. Before losing his beloved wife, the Travolta family suffered another tragedy when he and Kelly lost their 16-year-old son Jett in January 2009 after suffering a seizure.<\/p>\n
While on holiday in the Bahamas, Jett suffered a seizure and passed away. His parents were heartbroken. Back then, Travolta spoke about the loss to US Weekly and said: \u201cIt\u2019s the worst thing that\u2019s ever happened in my life. The truth is, I didn\u2019t know if I was going to make it. \u201dWhen Kelly died, a representative of the family shared the devastating news with People, writing: \u201cChoosing to keep her fight private, she had been undergoing medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends. \u201cShe was a bright, beautiful and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time.<\/p>\n
\u201dPreston chose to keep her breast cancer diagnosis a secret. Her co-star in her last film, Off the Rails, Sally Phillips, disclosed on the British talk show \u201cLoose Women\u201d that they were unaware of it during filming. Sally elaborated that film stars often keep health issues private due to concerns regarding movie insurance and future job opportunities. She noted, \u201cThat\u2019s what people do\u2014they go through it on their own because of worries about insurance for the film, and working again afterward.\u201d Sally also highlighted similar instances, such as Chadwick Boseman and Helen McCrory, who also opted not to publicly disclose their health struggles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
