The death of the young boy at the age of 16 occurred in 2009. The teenager who suffered from autism and Kawasaki syndrome (childhood disease that affects the arteries, Editor’s note) had succumbed to an epileptic seizure while was on vacation in the Bahamas. Jett was the first child of John Travolta and singer and actress Kelly Preston. The couple’s other two children, who are now their father’s reason for living, are Ella Bleue, born in 2000, and Benjamin, born in 2010.
The Travolta clan experienced a second tragedy in 2020, when Kelly Preston died suddenly from breast cancer. John and Kelly were married on December 12, 1991. The star of pulp Fiction had dedicated a few words to his late wife on Mother’s Day in 2021.”Dear Kelly, you brought three wonderful children into my life. Thank you. We love you and we miss you. Happy Mother’s Day”, wrote John Travolta at the time.
