Sometimes, dads don’t get as much credit as moms in parenting. But the truth is, a father’s role in a child’s life is just as important, and they deserve the same love. Ella Travolta wanted to appreciate her dad, John Travolta, for everything he does, and she shared some heartfelt words.
At Bright Side, we believe that sharing kind words strengthens bonds, so we want to share this sweet exchange with our audience. Ella honored John on his special day.
The 21-year-old actress posted a picture on her Instagram with her dad and brother. In the caption, she said her dad is her “best friend” and someone who brings joy to her in both good times and bad.
She revealed that even though parenting is not easy, John makes it look like it is. He somehow makes every day better than the previous one for his kids. Ella also added that she hopes to be half as good a parent as John someday.
John himself shared a message for the kids.
John Travolta feels really happy and lucky to be the dad of his two children. He loves encouraging and treating his kids well. He recently shared that his daughter Ella will be in a new version of Alice in Wonderland. And of course, he proudly mentioned that he’s a “very proud dad.” He’s been keeping his family strong since last year.
Last year, John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, passed away after they were married for 29 years. She was 57 years old and had been fighting breast cancer. After she passed away, John took a break to cope with the sadness and support his children. Before this, he also experienced the loss of his oldest son, Jett, in 2009.
What’s the sweetest thing your dad has done for you? And you for him? We’d love to see your photos together in the comments below!
Katie Ledecky Shatters Olympic Record After Team USA’s Stunning Silver Win!
Katie Ledecky broke another record on Thursday after Team USA won a silver medal in the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay.
The 27-year-old is now the most decorated woman in Olympic swimming history with 13 medals. This latest win broke her tie with swimmers Natalie Coughlin, Jenny Thompson, and Dara Torres.
The Maryland native won her eighth gold and 12th overall medal on Wednesday in the 1500m freestyle. She finished the race in record time – 15:30.02 – tying Thompson for the most gold medals by any female swimmer in Olympic history.
While swimming, Ledecky told reporters she let her mind wander and thought about everyone who helped her get to where she is today.
“And I kind of let my mind wander during the race, thinking of all the people that have trained with me. Was kind of like saying their names in my head and thinking about them. To my Florida crew, all those Florida boys that pushed me every day, I love you guys. I mean, I know I make your life hard a lot of days, but you guys made my life a lot easier today, so thank you so much.”
On Thursday, 27-year-old swimmer Katie Ledecky had another chance to add to her medal count.
Team USA, made up of Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell, competed in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay and finished second, behind Australia.
This win gave Ledecky her 13th medal, making her the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman swimmer in the world. Only Michael Phelps, with 28 medals, has more than her.
As swimming events come to an end, Katie Ledecky still has one more chance to add to her medal collection. She will compete in the 800m freestyle on Saturday.
Even though the Paris Olympics is Ledecky’s fourth Olympics, she hopes to compete in the Los Angeles games in 2028.
“Yeah, I’ve been consistent these last few months and these last few years in saying that I would love to compete in LA, and that hasn’t changed.”
Congratulations, Katie! You are the greatest of all time.
Please share if you love watching Katie Ledecky compete.
