John Travolta made himself comfortable with his children over the holidays. It's the first Christmas without Kelly Preston.
John Travolta (66) spent this year's Christmas with a big tree, lots of presents and his children Ella (20) and Benjamin (10). Only one thing was missing: wife Kelly Preston (1962-2020), who died in July of this year of complications from breast cancer. Still, the family seemed to be making the most of the day. The "Grease" actor and his children wished a "Merry Christmas from the Travolta family" via Instagram.
In a short video, the 66-year-old gave an insight into the hustle and bustle. While daughter Ella is waving and standing in front of the glowing Christmas tree in pajamas, her little brother has made himself comfortable in the TV armchair, shirtless. He, too, waves at the camera at his father's request, still in his hand a piece of cake that he was about to eat. Travolta can be heard laughing behind the camera.
