Preston had a long career in film and television, and occasionally appeared in movies with her husband. They were married for 28 years and had three children. The couple married in a midnight ceremony in Paris in 1991 when they were expecting their first child, Jett.

Jett Travolta passed away in January 2009 at age 16, after suffering an attack on the family vacation home in the Bahamas. The death resulted in a court case after an ambulance driver and her lawyer were accused of trying to extort money from the actors, claiming $ 25 million in exchange for failing to publish sensitive information about their son's death.

Travolta declared in a criminal trial that he was annulled and was willing to testify a second time, but decided to drop the case, pointing to the strong pressure the family was undergoing for the trial and death of his son.

Both Preston and Travolta returned to acting. Preston returned with a role in "The Last Song", the adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel starring Miley Cyrus and her future husband, Liam Hemsworth.

Preston and Travolta had two other children, their daughter Ella Bleu, born in 2000, and their son Benjamin, in 2010.

Travolta and Preston met while filming "The Experts" from 1988.

Their last performance together was in the 2018 film "Gotti", where Travolta played John Gotti and Preston the wife of the gangster boss, Victoria.

"Kelly's love and life will always be remembered," Travolta wrote on Instagram. "I will take some time to be with my children, who have lost their mother, so please excuse us if you have not heard from us in a while. But please know that I feel your affection in the weeks and months to come as we recover. "

People magazine first reported Preston's death.
