Losing Kelly

After overcoming hardships and personal tragedies together for so many years, it seemed like nothing could come between the loving Travoltas. However, in some cases, there is not a lot a couple can do against a higher power.

In 2018, Kelly was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer — a diagnosis the family kept away from the spotlight. After two years of treatment, at the age of 57, she sadly passed away. John officially announced her passing in an emotional Instagram post, praising her courage and the support she’s had throughout that difficult battle. She will forever be his greatest love.
