And in sorrow and in joy! Almost 30 years together. What John Travolta’s wife looks like today?
If you think about it, the life of famous actors is quite complicated. You have to regularly avoid journalists who are looking for double meaning in any word or deed, as well as these eternal shootings and the need to travel from one city to another every now and then… For this reason, many couples have broken up.
But this is not a pattern, but simply a fairly typical situation. Some celebrity couples still maintain their relationship. A striking example of this is the famous joker Ryan Reynolds and his wife, as well as John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston.
Kelly says the first time she saw Travolta was on a Grease poster at a movie theater in her neighborhood. She fell in love with him immediately. When she watched the film, she realized that she would only marry this man, which she told everyone she knew. At that time, Preston was only 16, so no one took her words seriously.
In 1990, the future spouses actually began a relationship. John’s fans were looking forward to bright conflicts. It was a strange couple: a girl trying to get into Hollywood, and an actor at the end of his career, famous for his love of love. And they surprised everyone around.
John and Kelly met back in 1987, but she was married then. Unfortunately, at that moment they could have nothing but friendship. But three years later, the actors ended up in the same hotel, despite the fact that they participated in different projects. Preston’s marriage had already broken up at that time.
At first they just talked every day in the evenings, but then everything turned into romantic dates, on which they disappeared regularly. On Christmas Eve, John asked his beloved to marry him.
He says that his wife loves to fly, dance and eat delicious food, in general, she reminds him of himself. He thought that Kelly could give happiness to any man.
The wedding took place on September 5, 1991 in the Church of Scientology. However, in America their marriage was called illegal. The couple was not embarrassed by this; a week later they organized a second ceremony in Florida, and everything was done in accordance with the law.
Oddly enough, John and Kelly became the perfect family almost immediately. The paparazzi persistently tracked the lovers, but could not find anything interesting. Soon this couple was forgotten.
In 1992, the actors had a son, he was named Jett. It was later discovered that the child had Kawasaki syndrome. Preston almost had to leave work to take care of the baby. Travolta finally achieved success, but he also remembered his family. His wife could still sometimes appear in films, although not in leading roles.
Kelly shared the secret to a successful marriage. According to her, it is very important to always maintain contact and be a little playful. So you should have fun together, play games and go on dates regularly.
After some time, newspapers and magazines began calling John henpecked. He regularly presented his beloved with expensive gifts, and when he was working, he could call her literally every half hour just to hear her voice.
Although there were small risks, the wife gave the chosen one two more children. Their family life could be called a utopia, but a misfortune happened. In 2009, the eldest child died.
Such tragedies often separate parents of children, but this time the heroes of our story showed that they really love each other and want to be together in both sorrow and joy. At the beginning of September they celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary!
Not every ordinary person can boast of this; maintaining a relationship for so many years is a huge job, and for stars this is generally rare.
