Their beloved first child passed away in January 2009 at the age of 16 while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas.
He suffered a seizure and hit his head on the bathtub at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel.
Preston passed away at the age of 57 in July 2020 after a battle with breast cancer.
Travolta previously said Us weekly in 2014 that his son’s death was “the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life.”
“The truth is that I didn’t know if I was going to make it,” he told the outlet at the time. “Life wasn’t interesting to me anymore, so it took a lot for me to get better.”
Travolta and his late wife, who were married for nearly 60 years, welcomed three children together before her tragic passing.
He and the Mischief actress also had a daughter, Ella, in April 2000, and Benjamin, now 13, in November 2010.
