The actor lost his wife in 2020 and more recently had to deal with another heartbreaking loss as his former Grease costar, Olivia Newton-John passed away in August 2022.
John Travolta led an emotional celebrity tribute to Olivia Newton-John as the legendary Grease star passed away at the age of 73 in 2022. John shared a throwback pix of his late costar and captioned the image, "My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!"
In February this year, John Travolta broke down in tears during an emotional tribute to Olivia Newton-John at the Oscars. This showed his close connection with his former costar and how much he has been affected by her tragic passing.
