John Travolta is selling his Clearwater, Florida, mansion for $4 million in a possible attempt to put painful memories behind him and possibly distance himself from Scientology, Radar Online reported, citing sources close to the actor.
According to reports, the decision to sell the property came after Preston’s death in 2020, due to breast cancer, and the recent loss of the couple’s close friend, Kirstie Alley, in 2022. “Travolta wants to purge the memories,” said one of the sources who spoke to the American media.
“When Kelly and John moved to Clearwater, they were looking forward to spending time with their Scientology friends, including Tom Cruise,” an insider detailed. “Tom and his son, Connor, have homes in Clearwater, but he and John have apparently grown apart, and Connor stays busy fishing with kids his age.”
The mansion, located close to Scientology headquarters, had initially been attractive to the couple. It is suggested that Travolta may be looking to distance himself from the organisation. “It is believed that the Travoltas went against Scientology when they agreed to try chemotherapy to help combat Kelly’s advanced breast cancer,” a source said.
Currently, the actor and his children prefer to reside in their five-bedroom home in Ocala, about two hours from Clearwater. Most reports suggest that John Travolta has become more reserved since the tragic loss of his loved ones.
“John doesn’t go out and prefers to be at home alone,” a source told Radar Online.
The marriage of actors John Travolta and Kelly Preston
Travolta’s career has included hits such as Grease, Violent Times and Saturday Night Fever. Preston has appeared in over 60 film and television productions, including Jerry Maguire (1996) and Twins (1988). The pair have collaborated on several projects, the latest being Gotti (2018), in which they both played John and Victoria Gotti; while their most memorable is the comedy The Experts (1989).
In addition to the pain endured by the loss of his wife and friend, John Travolta also faced the death of his son Jett in 2009, who passed away at the age of 16 due to a seizure associated with Kawasaki syndrome. These events have left a deep mark on the actor’s life.
Despite this apparent isolation, some sources suggest he may be ready for a fresh start. “He knows Kelly wouldn’t want him to spend the rest of his life alone,” one insider said.
Preston, born in 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii as Kelly Kamalelehua Palzis, had a diverse career before marrying the actor. She was initially discovered by a fashion photographer at age 15, which led her into the advertising industry. During her marriage, she spoke openly about her relationship with Travolta, highlighting the importance of communication and growing together.
In addition to her artistic career, Kelly became actively involved with CHEC (Children’s Health and Environmental Coalition), a non-profit organization dedicated to educating parents about environmental toxins that can affect children’s health, especially after the loss of her child.
For his part, John Travolta has always shown a strong commitment to his children. His eldest daughter, Ella, has followed in her parents’ footsteps into acting and has had the constant support of her father in her emerging Hollywood career.
