She's opening up about her past in a big way. During a recent appearance on The Dan Wootton Interview podcast, actress Kirstie Alley gave an honest look into her life, including her famous fling with John Travolta and addressed lingering rumors about the "Grease" star's sexuality. Let's dive into the story behind these revelations.
Kirstie Alley on John Travolta’s Rumored Sexuality
When asked point-blank if she thinks John Travolta, now 64, is gay, Kirstie, who is 67, gave a thoughtful response. “No, I don’t. I mean, I know pretty well—and I know the love,” she said. Her answer might leave some fans scratching their heads, but Kirstie's comments suggest she has firsthand insight into John's personal life.
Recalling Their Past Romance
Kirstie's connection with John isn't just speculation. She admitted that she and John were deeply in love during their time working together on the set of the 1989 comedy Look Who's Talking. However, she made a conscious decision not to act on those feelings because she was married to Parker Stevenson at the time. “John would agree it was mutual that we sort of fell in love with each other,” Kirstie confessed.

She went on to describe how challenging it was to make that choice. “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,” she explained. Despite the lack of a physical relationship, Kirstie felt that her emotional attachment was just as significant. “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 admitted.
John Travolta’s Relationship with Kelly Preston
Now, you might be wondering about John's relationship with his late wife, Kelly Preston. Interestingly, John met Kelly before filming Look Who’s Talking with Kirstie, but they didn't start dating until after it became clear that things wouldn't work out between Kirstie and John. “When it became very apparent that I was staying married, he started seeing Kelly again,” Kirstie explained.
Moving Forward: Friendship Over Romance
Even after Kelly and John tied the knot in 1991, Kirstie admitted that she still occasionally flirted with John. “Kelly came up to me—and they were married then—and she said, ‘Erm, why are you flirting with my husband?’” Kirstie recalled. “And that was sort of when I had to make a decision and that was pretty much the end of that.”
But here's the twist: despite the drama from the '90s, Kirstie and John have remained close friends. In fact, they're so close that John and Kelly used to live next door to Kirstie! “John and I would have devoured each other because John and I are so alike. It would be like two blazing stars that just fizzled out,” she shared. “And it turned out great because we’ve remained best friends all these years. They’d come through the fence. It’s pretty funny.”
