Major Pushover
It’s also important to be a team when it comes to parenting and to have a united front. This isn’t the case in the Travolta household as the kids know that John is a total pushover. You could say that John is a “Yes Dad.” It’s something you have to do says John, admitting to the Daily Mail that he will say yes to pretty much anything when it comes to their youngest son, Ben.
Kelly added that if Ben were to ask her for ice cream at midnight, she would, of course, tell him that it was too late and he needs to go to bed. Two minutes later he would ask his dad and John would tell him, “Sure! Do you want hot fudge on that?” How do we get an invite to the Travolta house for a midnight ice cream?
Moving On
At times of tragedy, some people prefer to grieve alone, others rely on the love and support of their closest friends and family. This is exactly what the Travoltas decided to do, and they sought strength from the love they had been shown, not just by those closest to them but from their many fans too. The Travoltas said it was this outpouring of love which has helped through this darkest of times.
In a statement on their website, they said, “It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us hope for a brighter future.” Their lives would never be quite the same again, but the couple decided to move forward with their lives and on November 23, 2010, in Florida, the family welcomed a healthy baby boy weighing in at 8lbs 3 oz and who was named Benjamin.
Marriage Secrets
To celebrate 25 years of marriage takes hard work and dedication and John and Kelly opened up to Closer Weekly about what they do to keep things on track. The underlying thought is that they care deeply for one another and have a genuine loving bond.
They also told the magazine that they both have an instinct to want to protect the other. Most married couples will also tell you to try and keep things fresh. Have new experiences together, so you continue to grow as a couple and move together through the different phases of life. Kelly agreed with all of these things and added that it’s important to make time for each other. “Keep doing things, just the two of you” she added.
Ella Travolta Now
Many of those who are in show business would not encourage their children following in their footsteps. This is not the case in the Travolta household as their daughter Ella Bley is well on the way to becoming an actress in her own right. Now as a young adult, she is honing her craft just as her father did.
When John was asked at the 2017 SAG awards about whether he encouraged her acting career, he answered positively and said, “Yes, I want her to because she is so good at it. She is such a good performer.” Fathers are always their daughters' biggest fans, but in this case, he may have a point.
Facial Hair
For a Hollywood star who has been so iconic over the years, John Travolta sure has put a lot of care into his looks especially when it came to his hair and facial hair. He has dyed it different colors and even added in a weave to give it more volume. Generally speaking, each new look is for a specific role he is going to play.
The same goes for his facial hair which has seen a number of different styles including goatee beards and handlebar mustaches. While each of these different looks has been for different roles he was playing, there is no denying that each one has been pretty jarring for the average spectator.
