John Travolta is a loving father to three children, Ella Bleu, Benjamin, and the late Jett, with his late wife, Kelly Preston. His eldest son, Jett, was born on April 13, 1992, and was his father’s pride and joy. Tragically, Jett passed away on a family vacation in 2009 following a seizure in the Bahamas. He was just 16 years old. April is a tough month for the Saturday Day Night Fever star, who shared a sweet photo and dedication to Jett on what would have been his 33rd birthday.
