Your support makes all the difference.John Travolta and his daughter Ella shared a dance on Friday (21 August) in memory of his late wife Kelly Preston.
The actor, best known for her roles in Twins and Jerry Maguire, died at the age of 57 last month following a two-year battle with breast cancer.
In a new video on Travolta’s Instagram, he can be seen twirling his daughter Ella across the dance floor.
“My daughter @ella.travolta and I dancing in memory of momma,” he wrote in the caption. “One of Kelly’s favourite things to do with me.”
When he announced his wife’s death in July, Travolta had said: “Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while.”
Preston and Travolta had three children together: Ella, 20, Benjamin, 9, and Jett, who died of a seizure in 2009 at the age of 16.
