'Believe me, it took everything I had inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John and be with John for the rest of my life,' Alley told Walters in an interview broadcast on breakfast TV show “Good Morning America.”
Asked by Walters to comment on persistent rumours about Travolta’s sexuality, she said: 'I know John with all my heart and soul. He’s not gay.'
Alley added: 'I think in some weird way, in Hollywood, if someone gets big enough and famous enough, and they’re not out doing drugs and they’re not womanizing, what do you say about them?'
Travolta was single at the time, but Alley was on her second marriage, so she never pursued her feelings, she explained.
Travolta later married actress Kelly Preston, his wife for the past 20 years. But the actor was the target of two lawsuits earlier this year, which were quickly dropped, from two male masseurs who claimed Travolta made unwanted sexual advances.
Alley, who talks more about her love life in her new book, “The Art of Men,” said she fell for Swayze while they were filming the 1985 Civil War TV miniseries 'North and South.'
'We did fall in love. I was more willing to break up my marriage and I wasn’t willing to break up his marriage,' Alley said, explaining why the relationship failed to go further.
Swayze, best known for his lead role in 'Dirty Dancing,' died of pancreatic cancer in 2009 at the age of 57. He was married to dancer Lisa Niemi from 1975 until his death.
Alley has been married twice. Her second marriage, to actor Parker Stevenson, ended in 1997.

Spilling the beans: Kirstie Alley has spoken about her bond with Cheers co-star Woody Harrelson
First it was John Travolta, then Patrick Swayze and now Kirstie Alley has revealed she was tempted to have an affair with Woody Harrelson.
The pair grew close while filming sitcom Cheers and Kirstie admits she developed strong feelings for the actor.
The actress had to remind herself she was married to stop the temptation to embark on a passionate affair with Woody.
Writing in her memoir, The Art of Men, she revealed: 'He would incessantly insist we sleep together, half joking and half serious. "We're not sleeping together", I would say, half wishing I wasn't married so we could.'
When Kirstie played bar manager Rebecca Howe in Cheers she was married to her second husband, actor Parker Stevenson.
The couple - who have two adopted children together, William True and Lillie Price - eventually divorced in 1997.
Woody was not married when he portrayed naive barman Woody Boyd in the bar based comedy series from 1985 to 1993.
Last week, Kirstie admitted John Travolta had been the love of her life.
The 61-year-old actress fell for the actor on the set of their film Look Who's Talking, which was shot almost 25 years ago, but she couldn't act on her feelings because she was married to Parker at the time.

Kirstie said: 'Believe me, it took everything that I had, inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John. And be with John for the rest of my life. [He was the] greatest love of my life.'
This week Kirstie has also claimed she and the late Swayze, her North and South co-star, were once 'in love'.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight' on Monday: 'Both of us were married. We did not have an affair. But again, I think what I did was worse. Because I think when you fall in love with someone when you're married you jeopardise your own marriage and their marriage. It's doubly bad.'
Kristie insisted she is good friends with Patrick's wife of 34 years Lisa Niemi Swayze and was even asked to speak at his funeral after he died of pancreatic cancer in 2009.
Kirstie's book The Art of Men lifts the lid on the behaviour of all the guys she has dated and the famous men she has worked with.
