‘YOU WILL BE MISSED’

Kirstie Alley’s Ex-Husband Posts Touching Tribute: ‘I Am So Grateful’

The pair got hitched in 1983 and had two children together before calling it quits in 1997.

Kirstie Alley’s second husband Parker Stevenson wrote a loving tribute to his late ex-wife on Tuesday, thanking her for their 14 years together. The pair, who made it official in 1983, shared son William, 30, and daughter Lillie, 28, together, before calling it quits in 1997. “Kirstie, I am so grateful for our years together, and for the two incredibly beautiful children and now grandchildren that we have,” Stevenson wrote on Instagram, accompanying a photo of the pair with Alley’s fingers curled around Stevenson’s shirt. “You will be missed,” he added. “With love, Parker.” According to a PEOPLE profile written several months before their wedding, the pair met at a bar, but Alley didn’t recognize the Hardy Boy, who reportedly ditched his date to dance with Alley. “I saw him and said to my roommate, ‘For him, I would die.’”
