In the wake of wife Kelly Preston’s 2020 death from breast cancer at 57, John Travolta had a very candid conversation about loss with his youngest child, Benjamin. “He said to me once, ‘Because Mom passed away, I’m afraid you’re going to the Grease star shared. “I said, ‘Well, it’s a very different thing.’ And I went through the differences about my longevity and her limited life.” John told Ben he wanted to be truthful about life and death. “Nobody knows when they are going to go or when they are going to stay. I could die tomorrow. You could. Anybody can. So let’s look at it like it’s part of life. You don’t know exactly. You just do your best at trying to live the longest you can.”
But John is just surviving, not thriving, claims a source. The actor has been devoted to his children, Ella, 24, an actress, and Benjamin, 13, since they lost their mother. “He’s a great dad and involved in their lives,” says the source. “But they’re growing up and becoming more independent. Meanwhile, he’s falling apart and lonely. He’s often alone in that big house in Florida thinking about all the loss he’s been through [see sidebar]. That’s a lot of pain and grief to process.”
