Teaming with Oprah
With such an amazing track record of donating to charity, it only made sense that Travolta would pair up with another charitable celebrity like Oprah. Back in 2010, Oprah was celebrating 25 seasons of her show. Thus, she gave fans tickets to Australia where she would accompany them for an 8 day trip! You get a flight and you get a flight! So where does John Travolta come in? Well, he was flying the plane of course! At the time, he was an ambassador for Qantas Airways and did not hesitate to become their pilot.
The Perfect Present
After suffering such a huge loss as Travolta and Preston did, something finally brought back the joy they needed to combat the grief. In November 2010, they welcomed their son Benjamin Travolta. They had been trying to have another child for three years. Travolta called this the glue helped restore the family. Travolta said in a statement, “He’s given the house a renewed spirit and purpose. He’s brought us a new beginning…All our memories are connected to Jett over the last 18 years – our photos, our homes, our travel. It’s not something that will ever leave us.” He even went as far to say they may not have overcome the pain without this perfect gift. Fans were deeply touched by this bold and brave statement sharing his grief and also gratitude at welcoming new life into the family.
