Hollywood star John Travolta (70) uses Mother’s Day to remember his late wife Kelly Preston (1962-2020). The actor shared a touching message for the actress who died four years ago. On Instagram he posted photos of Kelly Preston with their children, daughter Ella Bleu (24), son Benjamin (13) and her late son Jett (1992-2009).
“Happy Mother’s Day, Kelly,” John Travolta wrote in the caption to the post. “We love you, we miss you.” Daughter Ella added a series of heart emojis in the comments section in response. In the first photo Travolta shared, Kelly Preston is seen with Ella and Benjamin selling homemade cakes. Another snap, also apparently taken on Mother’s Day, shows Preston with Benjamin holding gift bags and a card.
Travolta also shared a black-and-white photo of Preston with daughter Ella as a toddler and son Jett, who died in 2009. Preston holds Ella in his arms as she sits next to Jett and leans in for a kiss.
Kelly Preston died of breast cancer in July 2020 at the age of 57. She has been married to John Travolta since 1991. Son Jett died in January 2009 at the age of 16 while on vacation in the Bahamas after suffering a seizure. In April, Travolta also remembered him. He would have been 32 years old that day. He shared a photo of himself and Preston hugging their son on Instagram. “Happy birthday, my Jetty – not a day goes by when you’re not with me!” Travolta wrote alongside the picture.
