Their nearly three-decade-long marriage ended tragically in 2020 when Preston passed away after battling breast cancer. Travolta shared his grief publicly, offering profound advice:
“The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours.”
