Set to the song That Face, he captioned the emotional tribute with: "We love and miss you Kelly. Happy Mother's Day." Kelly passed away aged 57 after a long battle with breast cancer.

Starting off with a portrait of the actor captioned: "From me, to you," the slideshow included intimate pictures of the Travolta family at home as well as during family vacations, and the loving energy between all of them is truly palpable.

It features clips from the very beginning of the couple's love story, including stunning wedding photographs, and the evolution of their love and family over the last nearly three decades, as their children went from toddlers to young adults.
