John Travolta and Kelly Preston

John Travolta is remembering his wife, Kelly Preston, on what would have been her 61st birthday.

The Look Who's Talking actor kept things simple when he took to Instagram on Oct. 13, writing, "Happy Birthday Kelly! We love you!"

His brief but sweet message was accompanied by a photo of his late wife. She appeared to be wearing a fuschia nighty, lying on her belly surrounded by a silk gray curtain for the photoshoot. Her right elbow was propped on the ground so that her hand could rest alongside her cheek.

The actress' blond hair was slightly teased and her makeup was left mostly natural, with a swipe of mascara and a matte nude lipstick. She also wore a small pendant which hung from a gold chain around her neck

Preston died in July 2020 at 57 years old after secretly battling breast cancer for the two years prior.

The couple were married in 1991, and share three children together: son Benjamin, 12, daughter Ella Bleu, 23, and son Jett, who was just 16 years old when he preceded his mother in death in 2009.

While celebrating what would have been their 32nd anniversary in Sept., Travolta implied how much Ella reminds him of her mother. He shared a video of the young woman trying on a white and maroon floral dress, captioning it, "Our baby girl Ella in celebration of Kelly’s and my wedding anniversary - I’m so proud of you!! I know mama would be too!"

"I love you both so much❤️," she replied.
