Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz

Lucile Ball and Desi Arnaz were a married couple both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. They gained fame for their portrayal of a married couple in the popular TV show ‘I Love Lucy.’ Despite their on-screen chemistry being adored by fans, their real-life marriage didn’t endure, facing challenges due to Desi’s escalating issues with alcohol and infidelity. In his memoir, Desi attributed these problems to the demanding nature of the production and the overall stress in his life, leading him to seek alternative ways to cope with his troubles. The couple eventually divorced in 1960, but reached a working agreement where Lucile bought out Desi.
