John Travolta Shares Emotional Tribute Missing Late Son Jett on His Birthday

John Travolta, in a heartfelt post, is remembering his late son Jett. The 71-year-old actor took to his official Instagram account on Sunday, April 13th, to pen a birthday tribute for Jett, commemorating what would have been his 33rd birthday. In the touching post, the proud father shared a throwback photograph of himself holding a young Jett in his arms, with the father-son duo sharing beaming smiles as they looked at each other. “Happy birthday Jett,” Travolta wrote in the caption. “I miss you so much,” he confessed, adding, “Love you forever!” For those unaware, Jett tragically passed away at the age of 16 in 2009 while on a family vacation in the Bahamas. The teenager suffered a seizure and hit his head on a bathtub. It’s important to note that Travolta is a father to three children, including the late Jett, his 14-year-old son Benjamin, and his 25-year-old daughter Ella Bleu, all of whom he shared with his former wife, Kelly Preston. Back in 2014, during an onstage appearance at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the actor spoke openly about his son’s tragic passing, admitting that losing Jett was “the worst thing that’s ever happened in my life,” as reported by the BBC.
