See the Sweetest Photos of John Travolta with His Family Through the Years The noted actor shared his three kids— Jett, Ella Bleu and Benjamin — with late wife Kelly Preston

Travolta fell in love with late wife, Kelly Preston , when the two were working together on The Expert in 1987. At the time, Preston was “not that happily married,” in another relationship, so nothing happened initially.

By the early ‘90s Preston was single again and Travolta made his move. The two were engaged on New Year’s Eve 1991, before they got married twice — first on Sept. 5, 1991, at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris, then again a few days later in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Sept. 12.

The couple would welcome three kids throughout their decades-long marriage. Their first son, Jett, was born on April 13, 1992, followed by daughter, Ella Bleu, on April 3, 2000.

In 2009, Jett sadly died while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas. He suffered a seizure and hit his head in a bathtub. He was 16.

The following year, John and Kelly welcomed Benjamin to their family on Nov. 10, 2010, who John said was “a beautiful kind of glue for us to rebond after tremendous loss.”

Ten years later, on July 12, 2020, Travolta announced on Instagram that Kelly Preston had died after living with breast cancer for two years.

Even with the losses, Travolta remains a devoted father and rock to Ella Bleu and Ben, giving small glimpses into their private moments at home, on birthdays and fun vacations. Travolta has also shared rare pictures of Kelly for Mother’s Day over the years.

Below, see John Travolta’s sweetest family photos.

The Mob Land actor shared this sweet throwback of Kelly Preston with Ella Bleu and Ben. “Happy Mother’s Day Kelly. We love you we miss you,” he wrote in honor of the special day in 2024.

He followed up with another personal photo for Mother’s Day 2025, writing, “Happy Mother’s Day Kelly! You did a great job!! We love you!”

Travolta shared this scenic photo of his youngest son for his 15th birthday. “Happy Birthday my dear Ben! I can’t believe how quickly you’ve grown up! I love you!

Ella Bleu and Ben looked all grown up standing next to their dad as he sent best wishes for the New Year in 2025.

The tight-knit trio closed out the year together, of course. “My beautiful babies in my belated Christmas card 2025. Hope all is going well,” Travolta wrote.

For what would have been Kelly’s 64th birthday on Oct. 13, 2026, Ella Bleu shared this sweet throwback of herself as a toddler, playing in her mom’s arms. The sweet post came after Ella made her Paris Fashion Week debut and shared a behind-the-scenes video of her time in the City of Love, getting ready for the Miu Miu show. Her proud dad reshared the video and also paid homage to Preston, writing, “Look at your baby girl now Kelly!! Happy birthday, you should be so proud!!”
