Kelly Preston Honored Husband John Travolta in Her Final Instagram Post: The Best Father I Know
Kelly Preston's last Instagram post celebrated her husband of 29 years.
Preston died Sunday morning at 57 after a secret two-year battle with breast cancer. Four weeks before her death, Preston posted her final Instagram photo to pay tribute to husband John Travolta on Father's Day.
The sweet post featured a selfie of Preston and Travolta, 66, with their two kids Ella, 20, and Benjamin, 9. A second slide also honored their late son Jett, who died at 16 in 2009 after suffering a seizure.
"Happy Father’s Day to the best one I know, we love you 😘💕," Preston wrote alongside the two photos.

"It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many," he wrote. "Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered."
