No, John Travolta insists he is not gay. The celebrated actor has since come out to clear the air after his former pilot, <\/strong>Douglas Gotterba, claimed that they once had a sexual relationship that lasted six years. The allegation and a couple of other claims in that regard have got many questioning John Travolta’s sexuality, but he has stated that the allegation was all about money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this was not the first time the actor\u2019s sexuality has been questioned, it is known that he was previously married to Kelly Preston until her death in 2020. \u00a0Their marriage lasted close to 3 decades and they had two kids, but these have not been enough to settle the issues of his sexual orientation.<\/p>\n

Is John Travolta Gay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we’ve already stated, John Travolta has come out to make it known that he is not gay. However, there are some allegations in Hollywood that he was involved with a couple of men in the past, allegations that he continues to deny, as he insists that there is a conspiracy<\/a> to paint him as homosexual.<\/p>\n

The person that first accused him of being gay is adult film star, Paul Barresi who claimed in 1990 that they had a relationship that lasted from 1983 to 1985. Barresi alleged that they began dating after the Face Off<\/em> actor approached him in a gay bathhouse. The man added that they made out dozens of times in the two years that they were together, but he later retracted his allegations, only to claim again that he was pressured into retracting.<\/p>\n

It was after this that Douglas Gotterba later came out to also claim that they were a couple for six years. But more than these was a statement by the actor’s friend, Carrie Fisher who once stated that<\/a> although everyone in Hollywood had always known the actor to be gay, no one really cared.<\/p>\n

John Travolta’s Alleged 6-Year Relationship with Douglas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The allegations of a relationship between Douglas “Doug” Gotterba and John Travolta began making the rounds in 2014<\/a> when the former spilled the beans. He claimed that they met for the first time in 1981 when he was interviewed to be the actor’s pilot. He claimed that 7 months later, they had already started having an affair.<\/p>\n

According to Doug, he remembered the date they started dating because he logged it into a records book. He said it first began with a bottle of merlot wine and then the actor asked if he wanted a massage. This was soon followed by s*x.<\/p>\n

The former pilot claimed they went on vacation to Kenya, Amsterdam, and Hawaii and during such trips, the actor would occasionally bring women, although they still spent nights together. He added that Travolta began dating actress Brooke Shields as a cover when he advised him on getting a girlfriend to avoid suspicion.<\/p>\n

The relationship between Doug and John ended in 1986 because the actor would always check the pilot’s house believing he was cheating on him. Soon there was tension, and that allegedly led to their breakup.<\/p>\n

When they met again in 1992 after John got married to Kelly Preston, Dough claimed the actor told him he still preferred men to women after the former asked about his preference.<\/p>\n
