It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many.  My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. 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.  But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal. All my love, JT

Ms. Preston, who was born Oct. 13, 1962, in Honolulu. She appeared in the 1986 film “Space Camp” but she had a breakthrough as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love interest in “Twins”, the 1988 comedy that also starred Danny DeVito. Ms. Preston was also known for her role as the fiancée of Tom Cruise in the 1996 film “Jerry Maguire”.

Preston met John Travolta in 1987 on the set of “The Experts”. Four years later they decided to get married and even had to repeat the ceremony for the second time, after their first marriage (performed by a Scientologist priest) was considered invalid.

The couple’s life was marked by tragedy after their eldest son, Jet, who was born in 1992 and suffered from autism, died in 2009 at the age of just 16.
