Kirstie Alley never let anyone’s criticism to affect her behavior and always did what she desired. But despite her feelings for her co-star John Travolta, the actress insisted that she would never cheat on her spouse. After learning of her unexpected passing, Travolta confirmed the two had a wonderful connection in a moving memorial that he had written.
After playing Shelley Long in the television show “Cheers,” Kirstie Alley received recognition from all around the world. After achieving great success in the NBC series for which she was nominated for and won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe, she went on to star in another comedy called “Veronica’s Closet.”
Even though she played the major role in the program “Veronica’s Closet,” which also got her nominations for the Golden Globes, the actress did not have the same level of substantial popularity as she had during her time on “Cheers.”
Despite this, Alley has built an outstanding career for himself. The dedicated actress landed roles in a number of programs and noteworthy films that included well-known stars such as John Travolta.
Kirstie Alley referred to John Travolta as the “Greatest Love” of her life, and John Travolta expressed his feelings for her after she passed away.
While working on the “Look Who’s Talking” flicks, Alley and Travolta created a genuine on-screen relationship between the two of them. During the time when Alley’s character, Mollie, was pregnant, the two actors happened to run into one other by happenstance.
She dashed into a cab, and Travolta, who was playing the role of James, was the driver. Mollie’s baby daddy had left her, so she planned to bring up her kid by herself. James, however, came to her rescue; the two of them fell in love, and they brought up the child together.
Fans learned about their experiences as parents, including the difficulties they faced and the strategies they used to overcome them. It was impossible to deny the connection that they had on film, and off screen, they were very good friends.
Alley confessed to Howard Stern that she had feelings for her former co-star more than two decades after they had worked together in the entertainment industry, and she said that the attraction was reciprocal.
They did not allow the intensity of their feelings for one another to completely consume them. In 1991, Travolta wed Kelly Preston, who was already married to Parker Stevenson (whom she divorced in 1997), despite the fact that his on-screen love interest was also married.
During the same interview in 2013, the former cast member of “Cheers” revealed that it took her a long time to get over her attraction to John Travolta. She stated, “it took me years to not look at John as a romantic interest.” After that, Alley referred to him as “the greatest love of my life,” and then she concluded, “but I’m over it now.”
Because I would never cheat on my spouse with another man, there was never any kind of sexual interaction between us.
After five years, the actress from “Veronica’s Closet” proudly reaffirmed that she loved him and that she had never once entertained the idea of breaking her vows in order to fulfill her yearning. Nevertheless, the actress who said that she was a “firm believer in loyalty” disclosed the following:
“I had a feeling that I kissed Travolta, and I came very close to eloping with John. I did love him, and I do love him to this day. If I weren’t already married, I definitely would have gone and married him, and our wedding would have taken place in the air, given that he has his own jet.”
