The star is raising Benjamin and his sister, Ella - who has forged a career in music and acting - alone, after his wife, Kelly Preston passed away following a battle with breast cancer. 

Benjamin broke his personal best 

The family recently remembered the actress on Mother's Day. Ella, 22, shared a heartbreaking tribute to Kelly, along with a touching throwback photo showing the pair beaming together as they rode a fairground ride.

She wrote: "I've learned a lot from all of the strong and powerful women in my life, I thank you all for being such wonderful role models. I miss and love you, mama. Happy Mothers to all of the wonderful moms out there!"

John, meanwhile, chose to mark the day by sharing some of the most special family memories he shared with Kelly.

Pulp Fiction star John, 68, and Kelly had been married since 1991 and shared three children together. Tragically, they lost their eldest son Jett in January 2009 at the age of just 16.
