Was Kirstie Alley married?

Bob Alley

During her life, Kirstie was married twice, with her first husband being her high-school sweetheart, Bob Alley.

The young couple were wed in 1970, and remained together for seven years before divorcing in 1977.

Not much is known about Bob, and the pair didn’t have any children together.

However, in an interview in 2012, Kirstie revealed that she did fall in love with another man during the time they were married.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she said: “I didn’t have sex, but I think it was worse when you fall in love with someone else, when you’re with someone, and you’re plotting and you’re planning.”

Parker Stevenson

Kirstie met her second husband Parker Stevenson in 1981 at a restaurant in Los Angeles, and they went onto wed in 1983.

Sadly, their marriage ended in 1997, with Kirstie telling Entertainment Weekly that they had “different goals in life.”

Parker confirmed this in an interview with People by telling the outlet that they were “exact opposites.”

Did Kirstie Alley have children?

During her life Kirstie adopted two children with her second husband Parker, after suffering a miscarriage.

In 1992, they adopted their son, William True, and then three years later in 1995, daughter Lillie Price joined the family.

While Kirstie and Parker split in 1997, the family remained close.

Kirstie often talked about her children, who appeared on her reality series, Kirstie Alley’s Big Life, in their teens.

In 2010, she told Yahoo: “It’s 100 percent my responsibility to [release] them into the world with as much knowledge and survival tactics as I possibly can.

“Love is also key. No matter what they do, love them but don’t spoil them and make them into brats — that does them a great disservice. [My kids] aren’t going to be entitled or get anything they want in life; they’re going to earn it.”
