John Travolta Shocks With New Famous Girlfriend After Wife’s Death
John Travolta sadly lost his wife, actress Kelly Preston, to breast cancer a few years ago. It was one of several deeply personal losses for the popular actor. But he’s reportedly found love again. Keep reading to find out more about the rumored new romance.
John Travolta Faced Many Heartbreaks
John Travolta met his future wife, Kelly Preston, in 1987 when they were filming the movie The Experts together. They married in 1991 and had three children: Jett, Ella Bleu, and Benjamin.
Tragedy struck the family in 2009 when the couple’s oldest son, Jett, passed away after suffering a seizure during a family vacation in the Bahamas. He was only 16. The loss nearly broke the family, but they made it through by leaning on each other.
Kelly Preston was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. She lost the battle two years later. The actress passed away in 2020 at 57 at the family’s home in Clearwater, Florida. Her husband of 29 years took her death hard, especially after losing their son years earlier.
Sadly, he went through another massive loss just two years after his wife’s death. Actress Olivia Newton-John passed away after her own battle with breast cancer. The two co-starred in one of the most famous movies ever, the 1978 cult classic Grease. They remained great friends for decades.
Despite all the losses in his life, John Travolta is reportedly healing from heartbreak with a surprising new girlfriend.

There’s no doubt that John Travolta had a deep love for his wife. Finding love again in his life will never change that. The actor’s main focus since losing his wife had been raising their two surviving children. His daughter, Ella Bleu, is an aspiring singer. She released her first album in 2024 with her father’s support.
According to sources, John Travolta is dating again after his wife’s death. Radar Online reported that he’s fallen in love with a famous actress, someone he’s known for decades. An insider close to the star revealed that he’s dating Kim Basinger, 71. She was famously married to actor Alec Baldwin until their messy divorce in 2002. She was last linked to makeup artist Mitch Stone in 2014.
John Travolta and Kim Basinger’s friendship goes back decades. The outlet noted that they worked together at the NATO theater awards in 1983 and also at the Golden Globes in 1999. The two later co-starred in A Love Song For Bobby Long in 2004.
The Batman actress revealed in 2022 that she had battled acrophobia for years. It turned her into a homebody who refused to leave the house. “Everything became a big job to figure out how to do it. You live with a dry mouth all the time, you’re very shaky, you’re just so exhausted all the time,” she said at the time.
John Travolta and Kim Basinger haven’t publicly stepped out as a couple, but it seems they could be good for each other. Tell us what you think of the rumored unexpected romance in the comments.

Whoever is “shocked” about Travolta possibly being in a relationship now with Kim Basinger, and I’m assuming the word shocked was used in a negative way…well, the shocked crowd clearly haven’t ever had a spouse die.
Being overly qualified to speak on this (my first wife died in 2013, and my second wife died in 2022), I can tell you that if you ever go through this, and are fortunate enough to be able to fall in love again, don’t waste even a second on unearned feelings of disloyalty to your passed spouse. If you can move forward in life with someone you love, DO IT! I spent several years staring at unhealthy shrines to my late wife, when I should have been moving forward in life, even though it was not the life that I had signed up for. You’re not honoring your past spouse my hanging on to what once was.
I hope the rumors about Travolta and Basinger are true. I hope that Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are doing well in their new relationship.
I think John Travolta should go right ahead with his life and Great that it is Kim Bassinger. Some one who in his circle of theatre and Art. Why not. For example why would he romance with anyone who is an astrophysicist and has no affinity with theater? I am happy for anyone that finds happiness in a history of friendship and graduated to love. Life goes on. Congratulations John and Kim🔥🎊‼️
💕 I Hope That’s A True Humor!!! Why Shouldn’t They Live A Life Of Being IN LOVE And SHARING IT!!!
ENJOY LIFE John & Kim💕
