Overview
- Matthew Hild’s A Little More Love, released Thursday after a Wednesday People excerpt, revives claims that Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta were “very, very close.”
- An anonymous former bandmate recalls Newton-John asking if marriage to Travolta would mean joining Scientology, and being told conversion would be encouraged but not required.
- People reports Travolta’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment as the book’s excerpt circulated.
- Both stars long said they stayed friends during Grease because they were seeing other people, though co-star Didi Conn later said their on-screen chemistry felt genuine.
- Travolta’s decades-long affiliation with the Church of Scientology, dating to 1975, provides context for the question, yet the new claim rests on a single, retrospective source and has not been independently confirmed.
