In 2020, Hollywood star John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, tragically passed away at the age of 57 after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Nearly four years have passed since the family bid farewell to Kelly on July 12, 2020. John and Kelly tied the knot almost 30 years ago, in 1991, and together they had two children: son Jett, who sadly passed away at 16 in 2009, and daughter Ella Blue, who recently celebrated her 24th birthday, along with son Benjamin, now 13. On Mother’s Day, John and Ella reminisced about cherished moments from their family life. Ella shared a heartwarming photo of herself bathing with her mother when she was a child.
Supportive messages flooded in from fans commenting on the post: “What a beautiful photo. You two resemble each other so much. I’m sure your mum is watching over you with immense pride,” one fan wrote.
“Such a sweet photo, and your mum was an angel. Happy Mother’s Day to her,” commented another. “Your mum was truly beautiful. She would be incredibly proud of you,” expressed a follower.
Ella’s recent blog post also paid tribute to her late older brother, Jett, on what would have been his 32nd birthday on April 13. Sharing a black and white photo of them together in a chair, Ella fondly remembered him. She was just nine years old when he passed away.
John shared memories from a family bake fair they had previously hosted, along with a poignant black and white portrait of Kelly with Ella and Jett.
“Happy Mother’s Day, Kelly. We love you, and we miss you,” John captioned the post.
