AceShowbiz - John Travolta and Kelly Preston marked what would have been their son Jett's 28th birthday on Tuesday, April 14, 2020 with a series of heartfelt posts on Instagram.
The couple, who lost their son aged 16 in 2009 following an accident during a vacation in the Bahamas, both took to Instagram to pay tribute to Jett.
John shared a snap of himself and Jett hugging, and wrote alongside it, "Happy Birthday Jetty! We love you!"
Kelly also posted a picture of herself and Jett embracing, and captioned it, "Happy Birthday to our sweetest Jetty, we love you!!"
The pair's daughter Ella, now 20, shared a tribute to her late sibling too, writing alongside a glamorous snap of the family, "Happy Birthday to my brother Jett, I love you so much."
John previously revealed that he turned to his religion, Scientology, to help him cope with the pain following Jett's tragic death.
"(It is) the worst thing that's ever happened in my life," he said in 2014. "The truth is, I didn't know if I was going to make it. Life was no longer interesting to me, so it took a lot to get me better."
"I will forever be grateful to Scientology for supporting me for two years solid, I mean Monday through Sunday. They didn't take a day off, working through different angles of the techniques to get through grief and loss, and to make me feel that, finally, I could get through a day."
