John Travolta convinced a hunky U.S. Navy man to give up his service career 30 years ago — and shack up with him in a secret California sex den! That’s the bombshell claim contained in a secret ledger kept by the “Grease” star’s late business manager, which was obtained by The National ENQUIRER during an exhaustive 10-month probe into John’s illicit double life. “He was in the Navy, and John persuaded him to leave and live with him in Santa Barbara,” Hollywood producer Jonathan Krane wrote in a ledger entry dated April 10, 2002. Get the shocking inside story, and click here for more tales of major Hollywood stars who’ve sparked gay rumors…

Although privacy laws prohibit us from naming John’s gay lover, we snapped photos of the sexy seaman as he made moves into the actor’s family home in Ocala, Fla., on June 6 of this year! That tryst occurred around 4:22 p.m. — two hours before John’s private jet took off from his personal runway on the community’s grounds.

John’s lover is seen here, with his face obscured by The ENQUIRER to mask his identity. This is the first time John’s seaman has
been exposed to the public — as the latest in a list of
more than a dozen gay partners that the "Pulp Fiction" star had while married to
Kelly Preston. What’s more, according to Krane’s ledger, John’s relationship with the former sailor was the
real reason behind his demand for an open marriage with wife Kelly!

“John was still having an affair with [REDACTED] at Christmas in 1989, although Kelly was his girlfriend,” Krane filed in a private memo. “John told me that by being gay he really wasn’t turned on by women, but Kelly had a perfect body and Kelly knew about his homosexuality and didn’t care. He told me
he needed Kelly as a ‘beard’ because of his affair with [REDACTED].”

John and Kelly met in 1987 on set of “The Experts.” They were engaged on New Year’s Eve 1990 and married in September 1991. But in December 1991, John “told me he still had his love affair with [REDACTED], and had bought him a house in Daytona right next to his,” Krane wrote. Before the move, “John called me to ask my advice living with [REDACTED]. I told him just avoid being sexual with [REDACTED] when other people were around.”

Public records list both John and his hunky sailor at a modest $100,000 Florida home between 1990 and 1992 — a convenient five-minute drive from the Daytona Beach mansion John shared with Kelly at the time. “John has supported [REDACTED] from 1985 to today,” Krane wrote in 2002. “Although they stopped being lovers [supposedly] when [REDACTED] moved to Florida 10 years ago.”

The pair also enjoyed romantic getaways with John’s friends and family, including trips to the Mexican resort of Cabo San Lucas, and Montreal, Canada, plus luxury hotels across America, where they ALWAYS shared the same suite, Krane noted.

Reached by phone for comment, the man — who has been married numerous times and lives an otherwise heterosexual lifestyle — confirmed his identity, but hung up when confronted with our story. That prompted John’s attack-dog lawyers to fire off a legal missive on his behalf!

The ENQUIRER has also learned that while the lovers were holed up in John’s lavish Santa Barbara estate between 1985 and 1988, TWO employees complained of their sordid “open” sex games. In a journal entry on May 9, 2002, Krane confessed to paying off staffers before they could spill the beans to The ENQUIRER!

“John called me in or about May [1987] completely panicked. His housekeeper and cook [a married couple] threatened to tell The National Enquirer about his live-in affair with [REDACTED],” he wrote. “They told John they were disgusted with sex toys, gay magazines and gay paraphernalia John left in the open all over the house. I called the male housekeeper, and he repeated all this to me.”

“I called them saying I think I’d be able to get them $25,000 as severance as long as they filed a confidentiality agreement and left California,” wrote Krane. “Obviously, John had already agreed to the sum of money. I hung up. Waited 10 minutes, called them back and told them we had a deal.”

“All documents were immediately signed,” Krane claimed. “John hugged and kissed me and said, ‘Jonathan, you saved my life, you also saved my career.’” Krane’s original documents were part of a legal dispute when his professional relationship with John turned sour in August 2001. Krane, who was married to actress Sally Kellerman of “M*A*S*H” fame, died in August 2016.
