As Jett Travolta’s Birthday Nears, Friends Say Parents are Healing
Friends closest to John Travolta and Kelly Preston say that the couple are slowly beginning to emerge from the shock of losing their only son, Jett.
The Travolta family celebrated daughter Ella Bleu’s 9th birthday on April 3rd. It was her first birthday without her brother. Friends who attended the party say that the Travoltas are struggling to move on but are leaning heavily on one another now more than ever.
Olivia Newton-John said of close friend John, “John is a strong man, but we want to leave him in peace. To lose a loved one – it’s the worst time in anyone’s life.”
Another family friend says the Travolta’s are learning to cope. “They aren’t secluding themselves or paralyzed. [Seeing them] was like old times. Nothing awkward and no topics to dance around. There were smiles.”
Actress and close friend Leah Remini also spoke about the family, lending her support. “How do you deal with the greatest tragedy in your life?” she said. “I can tell you that they are handling it the best any parent could ever deal.”
Jett’s 17th birthday would have been April 13th.
I feel for them on this day. Birthdays are the worst after someone has died. Especially the first one.
