Following the death of John Travolta's wife, fellow actor Kelly Preston, Olivia Newton-John helped him heal from the loss. In September 2020, Australian magazine New Idea reported that "they clicked right away all those years ago, but this tragedy has bonded them even more." As a survivor of cancer herself, Newton-John has been an incredibly understanding confidant for Travolta.
Newton-John personally spoke to ET Online about the situation in October 2020, calling Preston a "beautiful person, inside and out." The star added, "She had a gentle spirit and I just feel so, so much for John and the children. It's hard to put into words." Newton-John said the family was "coping as well as you can imagine," sharing, "it's a private journey and I respect that for them." Although she might not speak to Travolta every day, the singer and actor said they remain close. "I send my love and support as often as I can," Newton-John stated.
Although the two Grease stars may not be as close as Danny and Sandy, their continued friendship shows that they had more than just a good working relationship. In 2019, before the most recent tragedy, Travolta shared a photo on Instagram of the two reunited in their Grease costumes for a sing-a-long reunion, writing, "Grease is still the word." In good times and bad, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta continue to lean on and support each other.
