The Truth About Kelly Preston And John Travolta's Relationship

In 1991, Preston and Travolta went to Switzerland where Travolta proposed on New Year's Eve with a six carat diamond ring. Preston revealed to ET shortly after her engagement that she couldn't wait to have kids. "We plan to have some babies," she said. "We're practicing right now. This could be barefoot and pregnant for the next 10 years."

The couple married later that year, first eloping in Paris because, as Preston explained on Live with Kelly and Ryan, they wanted to escape the pressure of wedding planning. They later held a second wedding in the U.S. so they could celebrate with family and friends. The couple ended up having three children together: Jett, Ella, and Benjamin. Jett, who had an autoimmune disease called Kawasaki syndrome, passed away in 2009 after suffering from seizures.

The loss devastated Preston, who cherished her memories of Jett for the rest of her life as evidenced by her social media posts — including her very last Instagram post, which included a photo of Travolta and Jett. Preston also opened up about her son in the caption of a 2019 Instagram photo in which she and Travolta kiss Jett. "To my sweet love, Jett... you are in our hearts forever," she wrote.
