'I love you': Devastated John Travolta reflects on 'special' relationship with 'soul mate' and fellow Scientologist Kirstie Alley following her death at 71... after she spent years desperately longing to marry him Kirstie Alley's friend and confidante John Travolta took to Instagram Monday to pay memorial to the actress in the wake of her passing at 71.
'Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I've ever had. I love you Kirstie,' said Travolta, 68. 'I know we will see each other again.'
Travolta and Alley had appeared opposite one another in the Look Who's Talking films - 1989's Look Who's Talking, 1990's Look Who's Talking Too and 1993's Look Who's Talking Now - in which they played James and Mollie, respectively.
He added a tribute on Instagram Stories showing a scene from Look Who's Talking Now in which they danced with one another. In 2018, Alley, while appearing on Celebrity Big Brother U.K., spoke about her fondness for the Hollywood stalwart, which extended into romantic areas.
'I think I kissed Travolta,' Alley said of the actor, a fellow member of the Church of Scientology. 'I almost ran off and married John. I did love him, I still love him. If I hadn't been married I would've gone and married him and I would've been in an airplane because he has his own plane.'
Alley said that neither she nor Travolta acted on their romantic instincts toward one another, as she was married to Parker Stevenson at the time; and he was wed to the late Kelly Preston (who died of cancer in 2020) by the time she divorced Stevenson in 1997.
Alley expounded on her relationship with Travolta in an interview in on the podcast The Dan Wootton Interview in September of 2018.
'John would agree it was mutual that we sort of fell in love with each other,' she said, noting that resisting the romance was 'one of the hardest things' she's ever had to do.
She said, 'I will say it's one of the hardest things I've ever done, the hardest decision I've ever made because I was madly in love with him - we were fun and funny together. It wasn't a sexual relationship because I'm not going to cheat on my husband.
'But, you know, I think there are things that are way worse than sexual relationships, than cheating on someone that way. I consider what I did even worse because I actually let myself fall in love with him and stay in love with him for a long time.'
She said that on one occasion, Preston confronted her about her flirty behavior toward Travolta.
'Kelly came up to me - and they were married then - and she said, 'Erm, why are you flirting with my husband?' Alley said. 'And that was sort of when I had to make a decision and that was pretty much the end of that.'
