John Travolta Opens Up About Family Life for the First Time

Travolta has been at the center of many rumors surrounding his personal life, making it extremely hard to keep up with his romantic entanglements. But the actor has recently made a big announcement to set things straight, once and for all...

John Travolta became rich and successful without ever receiving a high school diploma! He started his high school education at Dwight Morrow High School but ended up dropping out as a junior when he was just 17 years old. Another notable alumnus of the same high school was Sex In The City favorite Sarah Jessica Parker. However, due to the age gap between the two, they did not attend at the same time. It wouldn't take long before Travolta's fortunes turned around...

Kelly Preston met John Travolta back in 1987 while they were filming The Experts.The timing was off for the future couple because Kelly was still married at the time. Then in 1990, both actors were filming separate movies in Vancouver, Canada and decided to give the relationship a shot. Kelly was divorced and both adults were ready. Travolta proposed and Preston eagerly accepted. 26 years ago in 1991, the couple flew to Paris to get married at the Hotel de Crillon.

Travolta also had an interesting romantic past before her met and married Kelly Preston. During the filming of The Boy in the Plastic Bubble back in 1976, Travolta fell madly in love with Diana Hyland, who played his mother in the film. She was 18 years older than him. A year after they started dating, Hyland was diagnosed with breast cancer. 22-year-old Travolta was with her in her final moments before she passed away at the young age of 41.

Kelly Preston also dated a slew of interesting men before she married the love of her life, John Travolta. Preston was married once before Travolta to actor Kevin Gage. Even though the couple has a lavish wedding in Hawaii, the marriage only lasted two short years. She was also in a serious relationship with George Clooney for two years from 1987-1989! Clooney even gave her a pet pig named Max that Preston got to keep after the couple called it quits.
