John Travolta’s Daughter Slammed for Wearing Sheer Corset — Dad Is Proud of Her as She Pursues 3 Careers
John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, met in 1987 when they both attended a screen test for “The Experts.” At the time, Preston had already separated from Kevin Gage, who she married in 1985, but they were not yet divorced.
The “Grease” star described the moment he met Preston as “love at first sight,” but, Preston, who dated George Clooney shortly until 1989 and got engaged to Charlie Sheen after, didn’t quite agree.

It was only after Preston broke things off with Sheen in 1990 that Travolta shot his shot, and they fell madly in love. Travolta proposed on New Year’s Eve in 1991 at the Palace Hotel restaurant in Switzerland, surprising Preston altogether.
Producer Jonathan Krane from “Look Who’s Talking Too” said everyone was shocked by the actor’s decision. Apparently, Preston screamed at the time. However, she later told People they had plans for babies and were already “practicing.” The actress added:
“This could be barefoot and pregnant for the next 10 years.”

Despite the sudden engagement, everyone was hopeful for the couple, especially Travolta, who had lost a wonderful woman, actress Diana Hyland, who died in 1977.
Meanwhile, even Preston had to admit she never chose the right kind of man. Her mother, Linda Carlson, said Preston often picked “the bad-boy kind,” so she was delighted for her daughter because Travolta was kind and generous. Carlson commented:
“I just thank God. That’s what she wants and that’s what she needs.”
