On May 9, as the world celebrated Mother’s Day, Hollywood’s A-listers took to social media to share their heartfelt messages and express their gratitude towards moms and mother figures in their lives. Among them was actor John Travolta who chose to pay a tribute to his late wife, Kelly Preston, on the occasion.
Travolta shared a touching video on his Instagram handle that featured Preston unwrapping a gift labeled “MOM” in big blue letters. The clip also showed the actor and their two children, daughter Ella, 23, and son Ben, 10, looking on. In the caption, the “Grease” actor wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day Kelly. We miss you and love you!” and signed off with “Love, Ben, Ella and John.”
The tribute was particularly poignant as it came after Preston’s untimely demise due to breast cancer in July 2020. The couple had been married for 28 years and shared three children, including their eldest son Jett, who passed away in 2009. Over the last year, Travolta has shared several posts on social media to remember and honor his beloved wife and their life together.
In a recent interview with Esquire Spain, the actor opened up about his personal grief journey and advised others to find a place to grieve without interference. “The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is to allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours,” he said, adding, “Every individual’s experience of mourning is personal, and it’s best to let them live it as they see fit.”
Travolta’s Mother’s Day tribute to his late wife is a poignant reminder of the significance of the day for many who have lost their mothers or mother figures. It also highlights the importance of remembering loved ones and honoring their memory, even in their absence.
