Kirstie and Stevenson welcomed their first child in 1992.
William was named after her grandfather, Clifford William Alley.
The late Kirstie noted that she chose the moniker “True” because she liked combining various numbered syllables in a name to help understand its meaning.
Although William tends to be pretty private about his life, he reportedly found love early on and married his high school sweetheart at the age of 17 with Kirstie’s blessing.
He went on to have a son named Waylon Trip Parker in 2016 and Kirstie was quick to boast about him, in an Twitter post shortly after his birth.
Lillie Price Stevenson – 28
Kirstie’s daughter, Lillie, joined the family in 1994.
William, she tends to be pretty private about her life, but a tragic incident in her love life made headlines in 2014, when her fiance, Nick Trela was killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 23.
Both William and Lillie appeared on their mother’s reality TV series Kirstie Alley’s Big Life, which ran for one season in 2010.
