Known for his remarkable performances in films like Grease and Pulp Fiction, John Travolta is reportedly looking for love again, nearly four years after his wife Kelly Preston passed away. The couple initially met in 1989 during the screen test for The Experts and instantly fell in love. The actor proposed to Preston in 1991 and they got married later the same year.
The tragedy struck their family when the Mischief actress passed away in 2020 following a two-year battle with breast cancer. Travolta has since reportedly taken a vow to celibacy and has remained single. However, recent reports state that the actor might be looking for love again as his kids encourage him to move on nearly four years after their mother’s death.
John Travolta is Reportedly Re-Entering the Dating Scene
Earlier this year reports stated that the Hollywood star John Travolta has been contemplating re-entering the dating scene with the help of a professional matchmaker. The reports noted that the actor sought someone kind, warm, gracious, funny, and spontaneous.
The insider shared, as per OK Magazine,
John is of the mindset that a professional matchmaker would work and save time by finding someone who meets his list of criteria — Though he’s not asking for much — just that she be kind, warm, gracious, funny and spontaneous. Being attractive too wouldn’t hurt!
The insider also revealed that the Grease star has been nervous about seeing someone new, asserting that he has remained single since his wife’s passing, adhering to what appeared to be a vow of celibacy. Reports stated,
John still considers himself married and says he will stay loyal to Kelly until the day he dies — It’s hands off when it comes to dating. It’s sad, but he’s essentially taken a vow of celibacy for the rest of his life.
Sources claimed Travolta felt that it would be him betraying his late wife’s memory and it’s hard for him to move on. However, his children have been a significant support system, encouraging him to move forward and find love and happiness again.
Kelly Preston and Travolta shared three children, Jett, who tragically died in 2009, a daughter Ella, and a son Benjamin. The actor has reportedly been devoted to his children since they lost their mother. However, they also want their father to move on as he reportedly struggles with grief and loneliness.
John Travolta’s Kids Want Him to Move On as He Struggles with Loneliness and Grief
A recent report from In Touch Weekly has revealed that John Travolta is struggling nearly four years after his wife’s passing. The report states that he has been devoted to raising his kids and has been a great father.
However, as his children grow up and become more independent, Travolta has found himself increasingly lonely, often spending time alone in his Florida home, reflecting on his losses and grappling with immense pain and grief.
He’s falling apart and lonely. He’s often alone in that big house in Florida thinking about all the loss he’s been through. That’s a lot of pain and grief to process.
While the Pulp Fiction actor refuses to move on, his kids want their father to start dating and want to fall in love again and be happy. Not just his personal, but it has also impacted his professional life, as insiders suggest that the Oscar-nominated actor does not feel the same amount of passion for his work either.
