From the dazzling dance floors of Grease to the heart-wrenching loss of loved ones, John Travolta has seen his fair share of love and heartbreak. Let's dive into the captivating journey of the legendary actor's romantic life, filled with unforgettable moments and deep connections with some of Hollywood's most iconic figures.
A Deep Bond With Diana Hyland
John Travolta's first significant romance unfolded during the filming of The Boy in the Plastic Bubble in 1976. He found himself drawn to Diana Hyland, who was 18 years his senior. Their chemistry was undeniable, despite the age gap. Diana, who had already battled breast cancer, touched John's heart deeply, and their relationship blossomed into something truly special.
Diana's battle with cancer was an ongoing struggle, but it only brought John closer to her. Sadly, she passed away in 1977, leaving John heartbroken. Reflecting on their time together, John once said, "I have never been more in love with anyone in my life." He described their connection as something magical, saying, "From the moment I met her, I was attracted. We were like two maniacs talking all the time on the set of Bubble. After a month, it became romantic." Their love was so profound that John even revealed they had plans to move in together after his work on Saturday Night Fever concluded.

John cherished every moment with Diana, saying, "I had more fun with Diana than I ever had in my life. And the odd thing is, just before we met, I thought I would never have a successful relationship. She told me that she too had thought the same thing. Then, bam." Her passing left an indelible mark on his life, and he often spoke about how much she meant to him.
Marilu Henner: A Connection Built on Common Ground
After Diana, John's path crossed with Marilu Henner, a fellow cast member during a musical production of Grease. Their relationship was marked by mutual admiration and a shared background. Marilu fondly recalled their time together, saying, "He’s just a great guy. I adore him. Our families were very similar, and we connected right away because we both have three sisters and two brothers." Their families' similarities extended beyond just numbers, as Marilu noted, "His mother taught drama, my mother taught dance. His father sold tires, my father sold cars. So, we had a lot of commonality." While their romance eventually faded, the bond they shared remained strong.
Love and Legacy With Kelly Preston
John met Kelly Preston during a screen test for The Experts. At the time, she was married, but after her divorce in 1987, their paths aligned once more. Kelly had brief flings with other Hollywood stars, including George Clooney and Charlie Sheen, but it was her connection with John that truly stood the test of time. They tied the knot in 1991, with Kelly already two months pregnant. Their family grew over the years, welcoming Jett in 1992, Ella in 2000, and Ben in 2010. Tragically, Jett passed away in 2009, leaving a void in their lives.
John and Kelly celebrated 29 years of marriage in 2019, but their journey together came to an end when Kelly lost her battle with breast cancer in 2020. John opened up about his grief, saying, "I learned that mourning someone, living in grief, is very personal. Grief is personal, and finding your own path is what could lead to healing. It’s different than someone else’s journey." His words reflect the depth of his loss and the journey of healing that followed.

As of now, John isn't in a relationship, but there have been whispers about a potential romance with Kristin Davis, his co-star in Cash Out. Sources close to John suggest he's smitten with Kristin, describing her as "smart and beautiful." Friends around them believe they could be a perfect match, urging John to take a chance. "People who’ve seen them together say it’s obvious he’s totally smitten," a source revealed. While nothing official has been announced, the chemistry between the two is undeniable.
