After losing Kelly Preston, the wife of John Travolta and mother of their children, the Travolta family has worked hard to stay as close as possible as a family. In fact, insiders recently claimed that Travolta goes to his “supportive” children for advice on just about everything. Because of this, they’re being called the “Hollywood ideal of the perfect family.”
“They are so loving and supportive to their dad. John doesn’t know how he’d get by without them, not with Kelly gone these past few years,” the insider said to Closer Weekly. “He depends on them for advice on meals, fashion, places to visit, everything. In many ways they are the Hollywood ideal of the perfect family. John just feels blessed Ella and Ben inherited all their mom’s wisdom and kindness and strength. He’s learned over the years not to listen to anybody else outside of these two. He depends on family first.”
However, they also noted that they all still have their independence, adding, “They have their separate lives to a point, friends, activities and Ella has her burgeoning music career, and no one intrudes on each other, but the fact remains John’s closer than ever to his kids.”
It’s nice to hear that the family is still so close after such tragedies.
For those who don’t know, Travolta and Preston met in 1988 while filming The Experts, and hit it off immediately. They were married from 1991 until her death from breast cancer in 2020. They welcomed three children named Jett, born in Jan 1992, Ella, born in Jan 2000, and Ben, born in Nov 2010. Tragically, their son Jett passed away in 2009 from an accidental fall.
