Hitting our screens with some knee-dropping, toe-tapping, and electric dance moves, the star of ‘Saturday Night Fever’ is a Hollywood heavyweight, and the love of his life is just as grand. But back to their love story — John Travolta came across Kelly Preston on the set of “The Experts” in 1989. Although, like Toto’s classic song, love wasn’t always on time.
She happened to be married, and they happened to be filming The Experts together. . . Long story short, she divorced that very year and married Travolta in 1991. The couple had many happy years together, but in 2020 Preston sadly passed away, leaving Travolta heartbroken.
Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin
In March 2019, Lisa and Harry Hamlin reached the milestone of having been married for 22 years. Rinna, who had a career in television, was, of course, a mainstay on the show 'Melrose Place', before transitioning years later into reality TV, such as in 'Harry Loves Lisa', 'Celebrity Apprentice', and perhaps her most recent famous role on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'.
As for Hamlin, who is an actor himself, also on TV, he’s had quite a successful career as well! The pair married in 1997 and have since had two daughters. In this case, it seems that opposites are attracted, but it’s been successful! He calls their movie star marriage a miracle, she says they’re “soulmates.” The two are crazy about each other, and according to him, they never get tired of each other’s stories.
Chris O’Donnell and Caroline Fentress
Chris O’Donnell and Caroline knew each other for years. In fact, she was the little sister of Chris' friend! And, yes, that did prompt a righteously angry friend and brother, but he soon came around to the idea. Chris popped the question after Caroline became a kindergarten teacher. They married in 1997.
It’s all about family and marriage for this couple. They have five children, with the youngest born in 2007. Chris attributes their rock-solid marriage to the fact that they balance each other out well. He admits to having a bit of a short fuse, but he says Caroline is laid-back, and she's helped him chill out over the years.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
The stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones shocked the world when she and Michael Douglas announced their engagement. The Welsh beauty has taken the leading lady role in many films, from 'Entrapment' to 'The Mask of Zorro'. And Michael Douglas, well, his reputation precedes him – we really don’t have to list his slew of films!
Decades later, the pair have two kids together and have earned a lavish lifestyle. Cheers to that! Now, they are still gushing. When the couple showed up at the 2022 SAG awards, in honor of Michael Douglas’s best actor nomination for the Netflix "The Kominsky Method", they simply doted over each other.
Elton John and David Furnish
This dynamic duo met in 1993 at a dinner party hosted by "Sir" Elton John (yes, he was anointed the title by the late queen herself). Furnish, the Canadian producer — who also directed a 1997 documentary about Elton John — and Elton got engaged and entered a civil union in 2005.
Nine years later, in 2014, the same year that same-sex marriages were legalized in Britain, Elton and David got married. The two have also worked on various projects together, including 2011's "Gnomeo & Juliet." What are entertainment industry norms and legal precedents for a couple who is madly in love?
