Kirstie Alley has addressed longstanding rumors that her close friend John Travolta is gay.

Speaking to The Sun, the star said of her former boyfriend: ‘No I don’t. I mean, I know him pretty well — and I know the love…’

The star went on to discuss how she fell in love to John but never consummated their relationship because she was married to ex-husband Parker Stevenson, who she divorced in 1997.

‘It wasn’t a sexual relationship’

‘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.

She furthermore added: ‘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.’

Kirstie is now close friends with John and his wife Kelly Preston. Speaking about why she and John would never have worked romantically, she said: ‘I go to bed at nine o’clock at night and wake up at five in the morning we basically would have not have seen each other. It would have been a disaster.’

She furthermore added: ‘It turned out great because we’ve remained best friends all these years. They live next door to me! We’d come through the fence. It’s pretty funny.’

Kirstie recently came second on UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother.

The star found fame in classic American sitcom Cheers in the 80s. She is also known for films such as Look Who’s Talking and Village of the Damned.

Meanwhile John Travolta made his screen debut in the classic horror Carrie. He went on to star in hit movies such as Grease and Saturday Night Fever. He appeared with Kirstie in all three Look Who’s Talking films.
