Hollywood is buzzing once again — and this time, it’s not for a blockbuster or a comeback role, but for a love story that no one saw coming. John Travolta, the legendary star of Grease and Pulp Fiction, has revealed that he’s found new love after years of heartbreak and loss.
At 70 years old, the actor who once said he would “never love again” after the tragic death of his wife Kelly Preston in 2020, is opening his heart — and the world can’t stop talking about it.
According to multiple sources, Travolta has quietly begun a relationship with Kristen Davis, the beloved Sex and the City actress best known for playing the warm-hearted and elegant Charlotte York. The two reportedly grew close while filming the upcoming action film Cash Out in April 2024 — and what started as on-set chemistry soon evolved into something much deeper.
“Their connection was instant,” a source close to the pair revealed. “They made each other laugh. They understood each other’s losses. It was natural, and it surprised them both.”
For Travolta, who has spent the past four years navigating life without Kelly, this new relationship represents more than romance — it’s renewal. Those close to him say the actor was hesitant at first, unsure if he could open himself to love again after so much pain. But Kristen’s warmth and empathy slowly broke down the emotional walls he had built.
“He didn’t think he was capable of that kind of happiness again,” said a longtime friend. “But Kristen reminded him what joy feels like.”
His children, Ella (24) and Benjamin (13), have been quietly supportive of their father’s new beginning. “They just want to see him smile again,” a family insider shared. “Kelly would’ve wanted that too — for John to be happy.”
Travolta’s path to this moment has been one marked by unimaginable loss. After losing Kelly to breast cancer in July 2020, he devoted himself to his children and stepped back from Hollywood’s spotlight. He grieved privately, rarely speaking about the pain that consumed him. But friends noticed a change in him after the death of his close friend Kirstie Alley in late 2022 — a moment that forced him to confront the fragility of life and the need to keep living.
“Kirstie’s passing was a turning point,” the source added. “It reminded him that love, no matter how painful, is worth it.”
Those who’ve seen Travolta and Davis together describe a relationship built not on fame, but on shared understanding. Both stars have endured public scrutiny and personal hardship, and both have found comfort in each other’s company.
While neither has officially confirmed the romance, subtle clues have emerged — from matching appearances at charity events to quiet dinners away from paparazzi lenses. Onlookers say they seem genuinely happy, relaxed, and deeply at ease around one another.
“He glows when he’s with her,” one insider said. “It’s like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders.”
For now, Travolta is taking things slow — not rushing into labels or expectations, just savoring the feeling of being alive again.
“He’s not trying to replace Kelly,” the friend added. “He’s just learning that it’s okay to love again — and that his heart still has room.”
As Hollywood reacts to this unexpected pairing, one thing is clear: after years of grief and solitude, John Travolta has rediscovered the courage to love.
It’s not just a romance — it’s a rebirth.
“He once said love was the greatest adventure,” Amy said with a smile. “And now, he’s finally on that adventure again.”
And for fans who’ve watched him endure loss with grace and dignity, seeing Travolta find happiness again feels like the perfect ending — or perhaps, the most beautiful new beginning of all.
