known about their relationship it was a short-lived Affair that only lasted a few months right after his romance with Anita Gillette ended Travolta found love again but this time it was much deeper he began dating his co-star from the TV film The Boy in the Plastic Bubble Diana Highland their relationship began in 1976 when Travolta was 23 and Highland was 41 which was quite an age Gap Highland

of Highland describing her as the greatest love of his life in a 1977 interview with people he said I have never been more in love with anyone in my life I thought I was in love before but I wasn't from the moment I met her I was attracted we were like two Maniacs talking talking all the time on the set of bubble after a month it became romantic I had more fun with Diana than I ever had in my life this shows How Deeply he felt about her and how their relationship was filled with joy and connection He also mentioned that before meeting Highland he doubted he would ever have a successful relationship and the odd thing is just before we met I thought I would never have a successful relationship she told me that she too had thought the same thing that then bam their meeting and subsequent romance seemed almost faded bringing unexpected happiness to both of them despite their happiness their time together was painfully short Travolta had to balance his Rising career with his personal life and he made it a priority to be with Highland during her final days he flew back to Los Angeles from New York where he was filming Saturday Night Fever to be by her side as her health deteriorated their love story though brief left a lasting impact on Travolta he later revealed that they had planned to move in together and get married this shows how serious and committed they were to each other despite the short time they had Highland's death was a significant loss for Travolta marking his first experience with deep romantic love and heartbreaking loss more flings and romances in 1978 a year after losing Diana Highland John Travolta Found Love again with his friend Marilu Henner their relationship started after they bonded while performing in Greece on Broadway though they had first met in 1974 during the musical over here according to famous fix Travolta and Henner dated on and off from 1978 until 1989 their connection was strong as Henner explained in an interview with klta he's just a great guy I adore him she said our families were very similar and we connected right away because we both have three sisters and two brothers his mother taught drama my mother taught dance his father sold tires my father sold cars so we had a lot of commonality this shared background helped them Bond deeply there were even rumors that they lived together and were engaged at one point their relationship lasted for 13 years marked by periods of being together and apart despite eventually going their separate ways Henner always spoke highly of Travolta showing the lasting affection and respect they had for each other in the midst of his relationship with Henner Travolta had a brief fling with French actress Katherine denov in 1980 according to famous fix the two were seen together several times during this period while their romance was shortlived it added a touch of European glamour to Travolta's dating history this goes to show that Travolta's love life in the late 70s and early ' 80s was full of highs and lows his long-term relationship with Henner showed his capacity for deep meaningful connections while his brief romance with denu added an intriguing chapter to his story Brook Shields and John Travolta love was a Hollywood PR stunt in 1981 Hollywood was buzzing with the news that John Travolta was dating Brook Shields at that time Volta was 27 and shields was only 16 the age Gap raised eyebrows but the real story was even more surprising there were claims that the relationship between Travolta and shields was orchestrated for publicity by Shields mother Terry Shields Brooks's mother was very controlling and had a strong influence over her daughter's career she believed that dating high-profile Stars would keep Brook in the spotlight Shields had already gained attention for her controversial role in the 19 78 film pretty baby where she played a young girl forced into the trade Travolta was already a big star known for his roles in Saturday Night Fever and Greece it was suggested by some that the publicized relationship between Brook Shields and John Travolta was intended to generate media attention according to the Washington Post Travolta called Terry Shields to ask if he could take Brooke out to dinner although Brooke wasn't usually allowed to date her mother saw a great PR opportunity and agreed at that time Travolta's movie blowout and Shield's Endless Love were about to be released the timing was perfect for a media frenzy however their relationship was purely platonic in her Memoir there was a little girl the real story of my mother and me Brook revealed that her mother arranged many of her supposed romances Terry Shields wanted to associate Brooke with famous powerful people to boost her career she didn't focus on romance never mind love but instead wanted to associate me with names that connoted fame money and power Brook wrote despite the stage nature of their relationship Travolta and shields developed a genuine friendship Travolta spoke highly of shields telling people magazine Brook exudes goodness she's untainted you don't want anyone to hurt her or say the wrong things because she's special their bond was built on mutual respect and affection not romance Terry Shields encouraged Brook to befriend other celebrities as well such as George Michael and Michael Jackson she admired their sweet natures and their Fame this strategy worked well for maintaining Brook's Public Image even if it wasn't rooted in true relationships in her autobiography Shields also discussed how she eventually moved on to real romances she lost her virginity to actor Dean Kain when she was 22 a far cry from the orchestrated flings of her teenage years Shields attributed some of her relationship struggles to her complex relationship with her mother which had a lasting impact on her personal life Shields discussed it all in her 2014 Memoir there was a little girl the real story of my mother and me People magazine once wrote it is the most stag managed liaison since Kermit and Miss Piggy but once thrown together Jon and Brook seem to have developed a genuine fondness for one another even if it is just platonic this quote perfectly sums up their relationship a carefully planned PR stunt that turned into a true friendship Brook Shields eventually moved on to real romances she married her husband Chris henchi in 2001 the couple has two daughters Rowan and Greer heni after after his PR fueled romance with shields Travolta found true love with the woman he would share the next few Decades of his life with sharing a long and loving marriage but did you know many people question Travolta's orientation John Travolta on addressing rumors on his you see John Travolta the celebrated actor with a career spanning decades has faced persistent rumors about his despite dating many famous women like Broadway star Anita J and taxi actress Marilu Henner the media has often questioned his orientation in 2014 these rumors took a legal turn when Douglas gbba a former pilot for Travolta's Aircraft Company Alto claimed he had an affair with the actor in the 1980s GBA even planned to write a tell all book about their alleged relationship Travolta tried to stop him with a cease and deist letter citing a confidentiality agreement despite a judge siding with gbba the book never materialized in 2017 Travolta addressed these rumors in an interview with The Daily Beast he called such gossip every celebrity's Achilles heel and said it's all about people wanting money Travolta mentioned that he usually ignores the rumors because he can't control what's said in tabloids however he drew the line when the gossip involved his family I found it most offensive with the loss of my son he said he felt that the the media went too far when they connected the rumors to his personal tragedy some Hollywood stars have also commented on Travolta Carrie fiser known for her role in Star Wars suggested that everyone in Hollywood knew about it and didn't care in a 2009 column for Out magazine she wrote we don't really care that John Travolta is gay in a later interview with Advocates she added it only draws more attention to it when you make that kind of legal fuss just leave it be on the other hand Travolta's longtime friend and co-star Kirsty Ally strongly denied these rumors Ally Who starred with Travolta in the look who's talking movies told ABC News Barbara Walters I know JN with all my heart and soul he's not gay she explained that if someone in Hollywood is famous and not involved in scandals people start making up stories about them Ally also described Volta as the greatest love of my life she admitted that it took all her willpower not to run off and marry him but they didn't act on their feelings because they were both in other relationships at the time Travolta has shown resilience in the face of these persistent rumors he has chosen to focus on his family career and the people who truly know him Kelly Preston and John Travolta a Hollywood Love Story Kelly Preston and John Travolta had one of Hollywood's most enduring love stories but it all

types John was exactly what Kelly needed so kind and loving and generous this wasn't just another Hollywood fling it was the real deal Kelly also had long-term plans in mind telling Entertainment Tonight that they wanted to start a family soon after their engagement the story of Kelly Preston and John Travolta shows that love can happen when you least expect it even after a series of failed
