The Strange Marriage Of Desi Arnaz And Lucille Ball
By Jessica Cortez
Following the end of their marriage in 1960, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz both found love again. Arnaz married Edith Mack Hirsch in 1963, and Ball married Gary Morton in 1961, according to Closer Weekly. Still, the two remained good friends and were cordial up until their deaths.
Ball's friend, Tom Watson, told Closer Weekly, "They could push all of the wrong buttons and all the right ones. It's just, they were better off apart at the end." He added that even after their divorce, "they never lost their affection for each other, ever."
In Arnaz's 1976 biography, A Book, he wrote, in conclusion, "As for Lucy herself, all I can say is that I loved her very much and, in my own and perhaps peculiar way, I will always love her." Ball reportedly wept at Arnaz's 1986 memorial mass, which she attended with Morton, according to AP News.
It would seem that following their strange marriage and friendly divorce, the love they had for one another never faded.
