The pair lost their son, Jett, in 2009 when he was 16 years old after he had a seizure while on vacation with his family in the Bahamas.
In April, Travolta opened up about the grieving process to Esquire Spain.
"I learned that mourning someone, dealing with grief is something very personal," he admitted. "Mourning is individual and experiencing your own journey is what can lead you to heal. Your grief is different from another person's journey."

"Even though it's great to have company, sometimes it turns into you helping them instead of you working on your loss and grief."
