They have always been good friends, but things could have been very different between Kirstie Alley and John Travolta.
Kirstie opens up to Barbara Walters in an interview on TV’s 20/20, which airs in the US on Friday night, about her true feelings for her Look Who’s Talking co-star.
“Believe me, it took everything that I had, inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John. And be with John for the rest of my life,” she says during the interview.
At the time, Kirstie was married to actor Parker Stevenson and even though John was single, she says she stopped herself from leaving her husband because she didn’t feel as though it was the right thing to do.
“Because I feel like when you marry someone you’re supposed to work hard at it, and you’re supposed to make it work,” she explains.
Kirstie reveals that, to this day, John is still the love of her life.
John went on to marry Kelly Preston who is good friends with Kirstie and helps her to promote her wellbeing and weight loss website.
