Talented screen star John, who is a licensed pilot and owns a fleet of aircraft, also has at least two homes in Florida and a compound in the California celebrity haven Calabasas.
John and
Kelly, who were married for 29 years before her death in July, shared three
children: Ella, 20, Benjamin, nine, and late son Jett, who died in January 2009
at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure.
John and
Kelly met on the 1989 film The Experts and began dating; he proposed on New
Year's Eve 1990 at the Palace Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland.
The couple
married on September 5, 1991; at the time she was two months pregnant with
their first child, Jett. They married for a second time in the US on September
12 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Kelly's
battle with cancer was not made public until after her death via John.
On July 12,
2020, John took to his Instagram to announce Kelly's passing: 'It is with a
very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her
two-year battle with breast cancer.'
He continued:
'She found a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family
and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer
Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends
and loved ones who have been by her side.'
'Kelly's love
and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for
my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don't
hear from us for a while.
'But please
know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as
we heal. All my love, JT.
Hollywood
actor John Travolta has put the 10,830-square-foot Maine mansion he owned with
late wife Kelly Preston on the market for $5 million – 30 years after the
couple purchased the sprawling property.
The
67-year-old actor and Kelly, who died in July at the age of 57 after quietly
battling breast cancer for two years, added the home to their property
portfolio back in 1991, the same year they tied the knot.
Located on
the exclusive island of Islesboro, the grand abode boasts 20 bedrooms and 7.5
bathrooms, and sits on 48 acres of land – which has provided the stars with
abundant space to host their families during holidays.
Built in 1903
for 'the scion of a prominent banking family' by Peabody and Stearns, the
42-room mansion boasts all the touches of an English country mansion, including
a sweeping gravel driveway and a grand shingled house.
Among the
features on the third floor are theatres complete with a stage, a library, a
diner and a classroom. Additionally, there are four themed bedrooms, including
a Peter Pam room and a Princess room.
While the
house sits a far distance away from the coastline, the densely-wooded property
does stretch all the way to the water, with a deep-water dock on Sabbathday
Bay.
And, of
course, the home boasts an outdoor swimming pool, perfect for guests to enjoy a
cooling dip when they're entertained during the summer months.
