Travolta confirmed his wife's death in an Instagram post late on Sunday, US time.
Preston and Travolta were married at a midnight ceremony in Paris in 1991 while the couple were expecting their first son, Jett.
In January 2009, Jett Travolta, 16, died after a seizure at the family's holiday home in the Bahamas. The death touched off a court case after an ambulance driver and his attorney were accused of trying to extort $25 million from the actors otherwise they would release sensitive information about their son's death.
Travolta testified during a criminal trial that ended in a mistrial and was prepared to testify a second time, but decided to stop pursuing the case. He cited the severe strain the case and his son's death had caused the family. Both Preston and Travolta returned to acting, with Preston's first role back in the Nicholas Sparks adaptation,They had two other children, daughter Ella Bleu in 2000 and son Benjamin in 2010.They last starred together in the 2018 film"Kelly's love and life will always be remembered," Travolta wrote on Instagram. "I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don't hear from us for a while.
