After her third battle with cancer, the British-Australian singer and actress passed away suddenly on August 8. In 1992 and 2013, she had battled her illness, the second battle being a private matter.
When Olivia’s cancer returned in 2017, it had already reached stage IV and had spread to her bones. The Grammy Award-winning singer passed away in the company of her loved ones at her California home.
The 1978 film “Grease” ushered in a new era of musical romance while raising suspicions about John and Olivia’s real-life romance. Their on-screen chemistry was so strong that their fans wanted them to get together off-screen as well. However, throughout all these years, the two remained close friends.
Even after four decades since the film’s release, John and Olivia could frequently be seen together at Grease-themed events and parties.
According to Smooth Radio, these two actors have never been in a genuine romantic relationship. Olivia made it clear in her interview with the “Mamma Mia No Filter” podcast in 2018 that, despite the possibility of chemistry, she kept it to themselves.
While filming Grease, the two remained in committed relationships and avoided each other romantically. They eventually started their single families after moving and marrying new partners later.
In 2020, the renowned “Pulp Fiction” actor lost his wife Kelly Preston to cancer before losing his close friend Olivia to the disease. On July 12, 2020, Preston passed away at his home in Clearwater, Florida at the age of 57. After receiving a diagnosis two years earlier, the actress lost her battle with breast cancer.
Unlike Olivia Newton-John, who promoted medical marijuana use and the disease, Preston kept her cancer a family affair and avoided going public.
He received treatment at various hospitals, including the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Her passing was revealed on Instagram by John and Ella, her daughter.
The Experts, a 1988 film starring Preston and John, served as the catalyst for their relationship, which continued until their 1991 Paris wedding. The couple had three children: a son named Jett, a daughter named Ella, and a younger son named Benjamin.
On January 2, 2009, Jeet passed away at the age of 16 while on vacation in the Bahamas, according to The Sun. The rest of the Travolta family has grown close and spends much of their time together.
Legendary actor John Travolta met famous people through his outstanding acting career, which helped him with his love life. Olivia’s dating accusations aside, she actually dated many well-known women before marrying the late Preston.
His first significant association was with actress Diana Hyland, whom he met in 1976 while working on the film “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble.”
They remained together until the actress’s death on March 27, 1977 due to breast cancer. John has lost three of his close friends to cancer along with Hyland.
In 1980, he began dating Catherine Deneuve, a French actress. Other than that, he is best known for his on-and-off romance with Marilu Henner, an actress.
Henner was a member of the original cast of “Grease” and co-starred with John in Danny’s love interest, Sandy. Although their romance came to an end in 1985, according to Amo Mamma, the two have complimented each other in the media.
