It has been two years since John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, died. Preston died after privately battling breast cancer.

However, Travolta has opened up about his healing journey and has started making moves toward embarking on new projects.

The love story of Kelly Preston and John Travolta began in 1989 when they two met at the screen test for their comedy sitcom “The Experts.”

Travolta has always explained their connection as love at first sight, but when talk show host Andy Cohen asked Preston on “Watch What Happens Live,” she said, “Kinda.” This was because Preston was still married to Kevin Cage, who she separated from after two years of marriage.

The couple fell in love quickly and got married on September 5, 1991, in a secret ceremony at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris. When Travolta and Preston married, the actress was two months pregnant with their son Jett.
