The “Grease” actor was devastated when Preston passed in July following her battle with breast cancer. The following month, he and his grown daughter were filmed tributing a dance to Preston.

On her post-humous 58th birthday, the “Hairspray” star has another warm tribute up on Instagram. He uploaded a collage photo of him and the "Gotti" actress on their wedding day alongside one of his parents.

Travolta’s family see young Ben as a blessing to their beautiful household. This is because he arrived at a time when the family was healing from a painful loss. In 2009, Preston and her spouse mourned the death of their 16-year-old son, Jett, who died after hitting his head on a bathtub.

At the time, the family was on vacation when Jett had a seizure and never recovered from it. Once speaking about the sad development the 66-year-old noted that Ben’s birth helped the family heal from the trauma.

"The Saturday Night Fever" actor further added that the family’s bond grew stronger, describing the youngster as a "beautiful kind of glue" who has held the family together after a heartbreaking loss.
