John Travolta's heartbreaking tribute years after losing wife and son
John Travolta has shared a heartbreaking post commemorating his late wife, Kelly Preston, and son, Jett Travolta.
Jett was only 16 when he passed away while on vacation with his family in the Bahamas in 2009. He had a seizure at the time and hit his head on a bathtub at their vacation home.
His wife Kelly died in July 2020 aged 57, two years after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
John took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of their family, on what would've been Jett's 32nd birthday over the weekend.
“Happy birthday my Jetty — not a day goes by where you’re not with me,” he wrote.
The post gained 400,000 likes with fans and fellow celebrities rushing to the comments to share their support.
“Will never forget him, or Kelly,” wrote actress and good friend Rita Wilson.
“Always in your heart forever and ever,” added actress Kristin Chenoweth.
“And you will see him and her again.”
“They are together and some day you’ll all be together again. Happy heavenly birthday Jett,” wrote one follower.
"Happy Birthday to Jett and beautiful Kelly...two angels watching over you and family," added another.
The couple had two other children together — daughter Ella, 24, and son Benjamin, 13.
