John Travolta’s Alleged New Romance May Have a Major Hurdle on His End

While the internet and friends of the two are shipping John Travolta and Kristin Davis together, their alleged romance could have a huge hurdle on Travolta’s side.

Insiders said to Closer Weekly on May 8 that Travolta is having a hard time moving on from the passing of his late wife, Kelly Preston. Now, this is totally understandable, considering they were together for over 30 years until Preston’s tragic death. But apparently, friends of his are worried he’s closing himself off from falling in love again entirely.

The insiders told the outlet that “Bottom line, John is afraid to open up, to be vulnerable again and fall in love, which is very sad because he’s the kindest, nicest guy and he has one of the biggest hearts of anyone we know.”

And apparently, “all anyone could talk about was their chemistry” on the set of their new movie.

So who knows, maybe when they do press tours, they’ll reconnect, and something could bloom, and it seems like that’s exactly what his friends want to happen.

But we just hope he’s handling the grieving process as best as he can.

So, in case you missed it, insiders told Closer Weekly in April 2024 that Travolta is crushing on Davis, and she seems quite into him as well while working together on the film, Cash Out; and that he may be open to marrying again after his wife Kelly Preston passed away in 2020 from breast cancer.

Sources said that “People who’ve seen them together say it’s obvious he’s totally smitten…John’s been gushing to everyone that Kristin’s smart and beautiful. Their friends think they’re perfect for each other and that if John doesn’t take a chance, he’ll miss out on a great opportunity.”

While it’s still so early to tell, it’s nice to know that Travolta’s kids support him along the way, with sources telling the outlet that “While no one could replace their mom, they think Kristin is great and that their dad should get back out there and start having fun.”
