Let me tell you a story about love, Hollywood style. From the very first moment Kelly Preston laid eyes on John Travolta, she knew deep down that this was the guy she wanted to spend her life with. Recently, Kelly opened up about her enduring relationship with John on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, sharing how their paths crossed while filming the 1989 movie The Experts. Picture this: Kelly, not exactly in the happiest marriage at the time, finds herself sitting in a lobby, ready for a screen test, when John walks in.

Now, Kelly’s not shy about admitting her past mistakes. "Well, I was not that happily married [at the time], let’s put it that way," she confessed, referring to her brief two-year marriage to Kevin Gauge. "I was really with the wrong person." But then, something magical happened. Kelly saw John enter the room, and everything changed. She was smitten instantly. It wasn’t just his looks—it was his entire presence. Kelly tried to recreate that pivotal moment for the audience, prompting host Andy Cohen to ask, “What’s the best and worst parts about being married to John Travolta?”

“There [are] too many best things!” Kelly enthusiastically responded. “His lips, dancing, fun, laughing. We still dance all the time. Our kids join us, we dance at home, and sometimes we even go out dancing. Yeah, I absolutely love it.” Kelly’s enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s clear she cherishes every moment with John.

Building a Life Together

John and Kelly’s love story isn’t just about romance; it’s about building a life together. The couple, who have been married for an impressive 26 years, are proud parents to daughter Ella Bleu Travolta, 18, and son Benjamin Travolta, 7. Tragically, they lost their eldest child, Jett Travolta, in a heartbreaking incident nine years ago when he suffered a seizure at the age of 16. Despite this loss, the couple continues to cherish the memories and love they’ve built as a family.

In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, John and Kelly shared their secrets to maintaining a strong marriage. "Keep checking in, and keep growing and changing," Kelly advised. "Keep doing things, just the two of you." John echoed her sentiments, explaining that many couples fail to explore each other’s evolving needs. "If you take a little bit of energy to take inventory of ‘What are you interested in lately?’ then you can keep it fresh," he said. The couple emphasized that they deeply care for each other and make a conscious effort to protect their relationship. "We really care deeply about each other and we protect each other — and we keep [our relationship] up to date," John added. Kelly and John will celebrate their 27th anniversary in September, proving that true love and commitment can withstand the test of time.
