Actor, John Travolta has mostly been in the limelight due to his personal life. His tragic love story with Diana Hyland from his relationship history cannot be forgotten.
Actor, John Travolta has turned 72. If there is one thing John always loved, it has been his co-stars. He was never serious with them, and his relationships have not been much in the public eye. John has been one of Hollywood's most well-known stars, rising to fame with hits such as Saturday Night Fever and Grease. John has mostly been in the limelight due to his personal life. His romantic relationships have always drawn the interest of his sea of fans.
John Travolta experienced love early in life and has also had his share of heartbreak. Travolta's dating history has reflected both the glamour and the complexities of the Hollywood industry. Everyone knows about his three-decade-long romance with his now-departed wife, Kelly Preston. However, John has had many exes in the past about whom his fans may have forgotten.
According to a report by WhosDatedWho, John Travolta reportedly had a brief relationship with Anita Gilette. There have not been many known facts about their romantic relationship. However, it seems like John and Anita back in 1976 had dated for a couple of months after which he found love in his The Boy in the Plastic Bubble co-star, John's dearest, Diana Hyland who is no more. For the unversed, John's late girlfriend, Diana, is best known for her work in TV series and also movies. Her relationship with John was always in the limelight. Diana was known for her roles in Robert Montgomery Presents, Star Tonight, The Big Story, and more. She was previously married to Joe Goodson, with whom she had a son, Zachary, and they separated in 1975.
For the unversed, John's ex-girlfriend, Diana, who is no more, was 41 when John, who was merely 2, started dating her. Their relationship reportedly started in 1976, and in 1977, he lost Diana, who died due to breast cancer. Earlier in an interview with PEOPLE, John had revealed that he had never been more in love with anyone in his life. He reportedly flew to be by Diana's side and to spend her last few days, despite a very hectic schedule. John had even admitted to having plans of moving in with Diana and also marrying her. He had further told the publication:
“I thought I was in love before, but I wasn’t. From the moment I met her, I was attracted. We were like two maniacs talking all the time on the set of Bubble. After a month, it became romantic. I had more fun with Diana than I ever had in my life.”
John Travolta's love, Diana Hyland, was diagnosed with breast cancer, for which she had undergone a mastectomy and chemotherapy. However, in 1977 her cancer had metastasised, and despite her ill health, she had filmed four episodes of Eight Is Enough, where she had debuted as 'Joan Bradford'. John had told the publication that Diana knew she would not survive and remembered how she passed away in front of his eyes. In his words:
"Diana didn’t know she was going to die for sure until two weeks before. And when I first knew her [from Boy in the Plastic Bubble] there was a possibility it would never happen. I picked out a house, and Diana and I were planning on moving in right after this movie. If she was alive, it is very possible I would have married her. I gave her great joy the last months of her life. I always feel she is with me — I mean her intentions are. Diana always wanted the world for me in every possible way.”
John after the demise of Diana dated his friend, Marilu Henner between 1978-1989. The ex-couple reportedly dated for 13 years, on and off. John then reportedly dated Catherine Deneuve, with whom it was like a brief fli** back in the 1980's. John reportedly also dated Brooke Shields when she was 16 and he was 27. Brooke's mom thought it would be good for her daughter to date the actor for PR purposes.
