‘I think I kissed Travolta,’ Alley said of the actor, a fellow member of the Church of Scientology. ‘I almost ran off and married John. I did love him, I still love him.
‘If I hadn’t been married I would’ve gone and married him and I would’ve been in an airplane because he has his own plane.’

They ended the statement in saying, ‘We thank you for your love and prayers and ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time.’
