Terrible blow

In 2009, John Travolta and Kelly Preston had to endure heartbreak. While on vacation in the Bahamas, their sixteen-year-old son Jett dies after having a seizure in the bathroom. He fell and hit his head on the sink.

This was a terrible blow for loved ones. But grief made their marriage even stronger. They decided to have another child. So two years later Ben appeared, who, according to John, gave the family a new lease of life.

Personal life

In 1989, the actress starred in the film “The Experts.” That's when I met John Travolta. But the romance began later, three years later. Her first husband was Kevin Gage. This beautiful couple did not shine for long on the pages of glossy magazines. Three years later, it became known about Preston’s affair with the sexiest doctor in American cinema, George Clooney. However, the filming of “Emergency” was still a long way off.

Kelly Preston and George Clooney

Little is known about Clooney and Preston's relationship. However, then, in the late 80s, news leaked to the media: the actor gave his beloved an unusual gift - a pig nicknamed Max.

The next man in Preston's life is Charlie Sheen. After the couple broke up, there were rumors for a long time about the actor’s temper, who allegedly, in a fit of anger, shot at his beloved. At the time, neither Preston nor Sheen confirmed or denied the veracity of this story.

Kelly Preston and Charlie Sheen

In 2011, the actor suddenly tried to debunk the myth about his unbalanced character, saying that Kelly injured herself. By that time he had already acquired a reputation as a brawler. The truth about the event that happened 20 years ago did not rehabilitate Sheena.

The actress married Travolta in 1991. Preston, like her husband, practices Scientology. The wedding took place according to the rites of this teaching. In the USA, the movie stars officially registered their marriage. In April of the following year, the press announced the birth of the first child of the Travolta-Preston couple. However, doctors soon diagnosed Kawasaki syndrome in the boy.

In 2000, daughter Ella was born. Photos of a happy family regularly appeared in the press. Travolta and Preston are still an ideal couple in the eyes of fans today. First, their strong marriage is atypical for Hollywood. Secondly, they were able to cope with the tragedy that occurred in 2009. As a result of the accident, 16-year-old Jett died.

Death overtook Kelly Preston's son in the Bahamas in early January. Travolta later admitted that Jett suffered from autism. In addition, seizures caused by Kawasaki syndrome were common. During the attack, Jett lost consciousness in the bathroom and suffered a fatal injury as a result of the fall.

The couple had to endure many more unpleasant events. They tried to blackmail celebrities. The attackers somehow managed to photograph the dying Jett. They threatened to post the photo online if a large sum was not paid. The criminals were quickly detained. It is noteworthy that Travolta considered one of them, a high-ranking official, a close friend.

In memory of their son, Preston and her husband founded a charitable foundation designed to help children with severe chronic illnesses. In 2010, the 48-year-old actress became a mother again: Benjamin was born.

John Travolta: "I can't imagine my life without Jet"

This Friday, John Travolta's 16-year-old son died in the Bahamas. The entire family spent their vacation at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on the western tip of Grand Bahama Island, People magazine reports. Jet Travolta suffered a seizure and died immediately despite attempts to resuscitate him.

In turn, according to police spokeswoman Loreta Mackay, Jet died as a result of a fall in the bathroom. “Jet had a seizure and fell and hit his head hard on the edge of the bathtub.” - said the police officer.

Jet Travolta “went into cardiac arrest at 10 a.m.,” the actor’s lawyer said. “All attempts to resuscitate him were in vain. This is the worst day of John's life," he added.

The hospital where the teenager's body was taken refused to release any information. An autopsy is to determine the teenager's exact cause of death and will be carried out on Monday.

At the age of two, the young man suffered from Kawasaki syndrome. This disease destroys blood vessels and arteries and causes complications on the heart. In addition, Jet had asthma.

In 2001, John Travolta told CNN: “I was obsessed with cleanliness—I thought everything that touched my son had to be sterile and we had our carpets cleaned all the time. And I think the fumes from cleaning agents have caused a rare disease - Kawasaki syndrome. What happened was that Jet’s immune system overreacted to the chemicals.”

Travolta's wife Kelly Preston also adhered to the same version. She said that when Jet was 2 years old, he became ill with flu-like symptoms, including a fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes. Doctors diagnosed Kawasaki disease. Echoing her husband's comments, Preston blamed chemicals used to clean houses for her son's illness. Then, as a devoted follower of the teachings of Scientology, Kelly Preston entrusted the health of her son to the healing letters of the founder of Scientology, Ron Hubbard.

“At its worst, Kawasaki syndrome can affect the blood vessels of the heart. Sometimes, as a complication, an aortic aneurysm may develop. But such cases are incredibly rare. The causes of Kawasaki disease are unknown. Some scientists think it's a virus. Some studies have noted a link between the disease and carpet cleaning chemicals." — this opinion was expressed by a famous American immunologist.

Numerous sources claim that Jet did not have Kawasaki syndrome, but autism. But Travolta's family denies this information. As a member of the Church of Scientology, John Travolta does not recognize autism as a disease.

John Travolta was very close to his son. He never left it at home. And as soon as you saw John Travolta somewhere, you saw his son Jet.

“I can’t imagine my life without Jet,” John said. “After he was born, I held him for several hours while Kelly slept. When they wanted to take him away for tests and analyses, I said no, you can’t take him away from me now. You'll have to do it another day."

John Travolta has his own Boeing 707, which he named Jet Clipper Ella in honor of his children.

Jet was the eldest son of John Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston. In 2000, the couple had a daughter, Ella Blue.

Kawasaki syndrome

- an acute febrile disease of childhood, characterized by damage to the coronary and other vessels with the possible formation of aneurysms, thrombosis and ruptures of the vascular wall. Statistical data. The incidence in the United States is 44 cases per 100,000 children of Asian descent, 10 cases per 100,000 children of non-Asian origin. For Russia this is casuistry. The predominant age is 1−5 years.

Our information:

John Travolta (John Joseph Travolta) was born on February 18, 1954 in a mixed Irish-Italian family of Salvatore Travolta (a former semi-professional footballer) and Helen (a former teacher at a drama school).

At the age of 16, John dropped out of school (with his parents' permission!) and devoted all his time to the stage. Two years later, he made his debut in an off-Broadway production, and later joined the Grease troupe, but far from playing the main role.

In 1973, together with the Andrews sisters, he already played on Broadway in the musical Over Here!

From 1975 to 1979, Travolta worked on television in the TV series “Welcome Home, Cotton,” recorded several albums and periodically tried to play something more meaningful in films than the tiny role of Carrie’s classmate, who, not very successfully, doused her with blood from a bucket. at the graduation party. Around this time there was a romantic-tragic story worthy of cinema. John meets actress Diane Hyland on the set of one of the films (eighteen years older than him, she played his mother in this film).

Despite the difference in age, they began to live as one family, and John would not have avoided all sorts of laughter behind his back if Diane had not died in his arms from cancer a year later. Two years later, his mother died in the same way. It is unknown how everything would have turned out further, but then John Badham invited Travolta to play the leading role in his film “Saturday Night Fever.” John repeated the enormous success of “Fever” in its sequel “Staying Alive” and “Grease” (welcome home, Danny Dzuko!).

The future seemed bleak and bright when, without explanation, Travolta refused to act in several films that made Richard Gere famous, cast instead (American Gigolo and An Officer and a Gentleman). In the 80s, Travolta was not exactly “persona non grata” in Hollywood, but yesterday’s news, that’s for sure. Many rumors were spread about him (either he was gay, or bisexual, or he became overly fat, or he became a hopeless drunkard, or he fell under the influence of a cult).

Incredibly, Travolta endured all the ordeals with equanimity. In the most difficult times, it did not even occur to him to sell the three planes he owned. True, he always repeated that as soon as he could not play, he would remain a pilot, because he still did not know which activity he liked best. And he kept repeating: “If I do the right thing and my intentions remain pure, I believe that everything in my life will turn out well.” Well, he turned out to be right. His personal life took shape when he married actress Kelly Preston. Now they are raising a son. John writes him stories and teaches him to dance (just in case). After inviting Tarantino to the film “Pulp Fiction,” his career took off like a favorite jet. All of Travolta's subsequent films - "Broken Arrow", "Face/Off", "Get Shorty", "Michael" - were an incredible success.
