John Travolta pays tribute to ‘special’ Kirstie Alley after death: ‘I love you’

John Travolta paid tribute to Kirstie Alley on Monday following the news of her tragic death at the age of 71.

“Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I’ve ever had,” Travolta, 68, wrote on Instagram. “I love you Kirstie. I know we will see each other again.”

The actor — who also lost his wife, Kelly Preston, to cancer back in 2020 — followed up his tribute with a clip from “Look Who’s Talking” where he and Alley danced and shared a kiss.

Just minutes before, Alley’s two children — son William “True” Stevenson, 30, and daughter Lillie Price Stevenson, 28 — announced that their mother had “passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered.”
