Clarification on the divorce dates. Lucy filed for divorce in September 1944 because she was convinced that Desi was being unfaithful to her and also because he came home drunk several times. Lucy didn’t go though with the divorce and returned to him before the interlocutory decree became final. Lucy and Desi officially divorced in 1960.

Desi Arnaz talked about Lucy toward the end of his life. Maybe was on Johnny Carson or some nighttime talk show. He teared up and said "She was the one.' It was so touching.

Just breaks my heart because you could tell how much they loved each other. I hope they are reunited in Heaven ❤️

I always thought when my mother was young she looked somewhat like Lucy and even wore her lipstick and hair like her. I grew up watching Lucy and Desi reruns and that theme from I Love Lucy always takes me back to my childhood. When I watch her now, I have a totally new appreciation for her - so ahead of her time, daring and super-talented. We need more women like Lucy :D

I love Lucy's whole family. I miss her, and I am grateful for being born in a time when she was here in my generation.

My eldest brother Joe was born on April 28th, 1952, my parents had their first apartment, my father worked late sometimes at his family bakery in South Philly. One night my mother was watching "I Love Lucy" in the apartment, the "Candy Factory" episode, my mother recalled how hard she laughed, my brother who's was still a todler, was in his playpen, he stood up in the pen, and he was laughing so hard at my mother! Mom always remarked on that night, and that episode! RIP Mom, Dad and Brother Joe!

no matter what happened in their marriage break-up------DESI AND LUCIE - always loved each other from their hearts---and always will---....

Thanks for this. I especially love getting the chance to see those rare photos of Lucy and Desi together at special events or family functions when they were older. It's a shame that they didn't work together again, if not Desi doing a cameo on one of Lucy's later shows, then even in one of her mid '70s specials or in some other unrelated movie or program. I'm glad they remained friendly.

Lucy was always so glamorous 🤩 i find myself hardly ever doing my hair and makeup these days with a 2 year old son, but Lucy seemed to always be put together, hair and face always done. I love her

I remember the Brady Bunch episode where Marsha got to meet Desi Arnaz, Jr. and he was so freaking cute. I was a little younger than the Marsha character but I remember me and my two sisters and our little friends crowded around the tv to watch that episode. Good times....

These pictures depict an incredible, undeniable love that two parents feel for their children. At the same time, it shows a bond between two people who are connected by more than any words can ever explain.

I believe they always loved each other but could not be happy together. They gave us so much and I Love Lucy is a program I watch with my granddaughters and they laugh just as I still do. They were magic on the small screen, but as hard as they tried, they could not make the marriage work. It was so sad when they divorced. I saw a video of both Lucy and Desi in the pool at their daughter’s home with the grands, and Lucie said that was a favorite picture of them together. I still love Lucy and the show they left us to enjoy!

lucy gave us so much to remember. I still watch her shows with love and admiration for the many gifts.

I know their son, Desi Jr, personally. He and his wife owned the dance studio and ballet company here, and I danced for them for many, many years. I still keep in very close contact with his wife, who was my first ballet teacher. :)

Incredible photos. The love is there for everyone to see.

Rest in Peace, Desiree Anzalone aka Lucille Ball's great-granddaughter. So sad she is gone, only 31 years old. She was a beautiful soul. She will be missed. ❤❤❤❤

Most definitely they still loved each other 💓 Desi was the love of her life, she loved Gary Morton but Desi is where her heart was,

They were such a sweet, loving, and adorable couple. I will always love them and keep them in my hearts forever. 🇺🇸🇨🇺💕❤️💝😇🙏🏼📺🎥

I'M SURE THEY BOTH HAD THEIR FAULTS, BUT I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT THEY STILL LOVED EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT TOGETHER. DESI KNEW HE HAD MADE POOR CHOICES, AND MOST LIKELY REGRETTED THEM. THEY STILL HAD A WONDERFUL SHOW WITH TONS OF LAUGHS......

Went to Florida for 2 months. Up every morning at 4:00 am just to watch I Love Lucy repeats, watched them for 3 hrs straight and never got tired of any of them.

They brought laughter into our homes, and joy, and you always hoped and prayed for the best for them. They had what it took to make us laugh. There will never be another Desi, and Lucy. I hope their children are happy. God bless them.

Awww I love this beautiful family! Will ALWAYS be a fan of Desi & Lucy Arnaz

They were a very beautiful family.

I agree with you 100%. They brought a lot of happiness, humor and good memories for many of us who grew up watching them.

She looks so happy with her babies💖

It is ironic the Show portrayed a happy family. In real life was very flawed. No family is perfect. I love the show.

I Love Lucy christmas special always brings tears.

I watched this with so much nostalgia and sadness. They had everything but couldn't hold onto it. As with every human situation, it takes two. I think that Desi either couldn't express his dissatisfaction with Lucy or loved her too much to disclose it. Again I will say, there are two sides to every story. God bless them both!!!!!

They are and will always be the best of them all. No comparison to nobody at all and classy. She was so beautiful and he was so handsome. talented, classy, memories of them forever! and laughter. I never get tired of them.

Just my opinion. Desi Arnaz was a great American. A great innovator. He is one of my all time favorite Americans. Without a doubt a great man and so likable and lovable. 👍👍to Desi Arnaz.

I always loved that show

Desi had some strong genes. Both of his kids look like him specially Desi Jr. Nice vid btw.

What a bunch of beautiful memories , the best comedy show of all times and they really did care for each other Desi was just a little weak with lifes temtations !!

Three miscarriages? That’s really rough. My sister had multiple miscarriages and never was able to get a child out. My cousin had her first and only child at 44. It’s amazing she was able to continue her career, in comedy no less, after all those heartbreaks. Good on her.

This is just so sweet . . . Brings tears , to think of the old days . . . . XOXO

Such a beautiful family. Desi would never have anyone love him as much as Lucy. Glad they were able to remain friends. They will never know the impact they have had on generations of families that loved and still love I Love Lucy. My grandmother could not stand TV, and the only exception was her love for Lucy. She would say it was the only thing worth watching and they could have the rest. We love you Lucy........

Beautiful memories..always loved their shows..

Beautiful background music to that scrapbook. Nicely done.

Love these old memories, beautiful days - good times gone by! God Bless their families! ~~~Nancy

Leave them alone. They had love. That’s all that matters I Love Lucy❤️

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and talk to Lucy and Desi so they could stay together. I always felt even though they had their differences, they still loved each other till the day they died. God Bless them both!

Everyone smoked back then, not sure her miscarriages were due to smoking. She smoked with the last 2 pregnancies.People also drank liquor back then too. Dr's didn't tell them not to. MANY babies in that era were delivered to full term. Other medications could have been taken by people the during pregnancies who knows. All I know is many smokers and drinkers delivered healtyh babies to full term. It's a fact.

Breaks my heart too seing you with your own children, I Love Lucy will go down in history as one of the best Tv shows ever made.

I didn't know that lucy had a wonderful family until i watched the videos. It was amazing. I was glad that she had lived happily ever after with two wonderful men.

I believe they had very bittersweet feelings toward their parents. Just as Lucy and Desi had for each other. RIP Lucy and Desi sr and you're in my prayers Lucie and Desi jr

Thanks for sharing that. What a great lady.

She was 42 having Desi jr and that was considered “old to have a child back then. You have to be a fool not to see the love they shared yet it was a very tumultuous love.... 💔

Lucielle Ball, Desi Arnaz ; both kids Lucy and Desi Jr; and Vivian - all made 3 generations of people around the globe laugh and smile- all in situations of life the average family identifies with . God bless

They were AMAZING, CARING PARENTS, they did it all for their children, that is what love is, sacrificing everything for the well being of their children, and on top of that the most talented couple, wish more parents were like them, children would grow up loved and cared for, and that is what is lacking with these late generations.

I have watched I love lucy my whole life. I watched it with my grandmother, i watched it with my mother and i have watched it with my daughter. My sister who is deaf and only has 30% or less vision in one eye watches i love lucy... Its the only tv show she keeps on her tablet! I love lucy is just that good! Lucy was and will always be a comedic genius!!! This show is timeless! All generations continue to love i love lucy. And lucy herself... What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL woman she is, inside and out, for forever! Noone else could ever compare to lucy. She will always be very very loved in our households throughout all our generations! I will watch i love lucy with my granddaughter when she comes along and she too will have the same memories i have with my grand mother with me! So much love and joy/happiness and confidence that she gave me, then i love lucy and those giggles and laughs with her every evening! I can not wait to keep this going on and on throughout our lives. I hope someday, on some new gadget she has, she runs across i love lucy and leaves a comment saying... Start back at the top and read it again. That would be amazing to me! A dream come true! I am so very thankful lucy kept trying untill "hollywood" said yes! Yes yes! Can you even imagine a world without the i love lucy show? All my memories of many laughs love and cuddles, excitement waiting for the show to start, and all those great memories woukd be just gone, not there???? They coukdnt and woukdnt have happened without Lucy herself! I am forever thankful to this wonderful amazing woman the world called Lucille Ball! Thank you so very much for all my great memories!

Wonderful tribute. May we all have one, one day.

those were the days my friend, miss you all.

I adore this couple, and am a faithful fan of their show. I LOVE I Love Lucy...and always will.

2:41 is my favourite bc there's not many photos of them with Desi in the later years on the internet

Such beautifully heartfelt memories will never be forgotten ❤

Msfrosteetoes, Lucy did not become pregnant by some studio head. Desi Arnaz was the father of all 3 of the babies that Lucy miscarried.

They raised two well adjusted and successful adults. A miracle in that time and place.

Sweet people. Yes, I know Desi cheated, but he loved his family; that shows through very clearly.

DESI ARNAZ SR. AFFECTS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF LIVES EVERYDAY WITH I LOVE LUCY. HE SHOULD GET MUCH MUCH MORE CREDIT. HE WAS A STUDIO AND FILM GENIUS........

very beautiful song "sleep now baby of mine" for this video. They did love each other to pieces, but he was a womanizer and adulterer. No woman could live like that. They stuck together for the sake of their two beautiful children. RIP for Desi Jr's granddaughter, who passed away after her battle with cancer at 31.

It amazes me how people take something as innocent as home movies and pics and begin to write hurtful and obviously ignorant comments.. just take it for what it is. Stop pretending like you knew these people and be civilized, No one is perfect in this world. They were real people but devoted their lives to entertainment. Just that simple.

I love Lucy Ball, Desi Arnaz,their Daughter Licie and their Son Desi!!! They are great and kind people. God bless them all.

I love lucy growing up in Ecuador.......part of my family.

lucy stayed with desi because she loved him. Desi stayed with Lucy because he loved her. Its called LOVE. Sad ending to paradise.... What a wonderful post. Thanks so much...... I cried.

It's so nice to see them as a family.

I can't get enough of Lucy! I Love Lucy. The Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour. The Lucy Show. Here's Lucy. Life with Lucy. The only thing that I'm not familiar with yet, is the old radio show before my time. Whenever I put on the intro to The Lucy Show, I always get tears in my eyes with a smile on my face.

Awwww that's sweet. Their a beautiful family‼️♥️♥️♥️

Plenty of women smoked and had successful pregnancies. They're not even sure if smoking causes cancer anymore. It's a choice anyway. No one forces you to smoke. There's so much crap in our foods and water (and air) that if smoking related illnesses don't get ya, something else will. Besides, our lives unfold EXACTLY the way they're meant to. Tragedies, losses happiness and destinies.....all included! This was theirs!

These treasured moments makes us appreciate the times with our own

Beautiful memories...they divorced on May 4, 1960 not 1940.....so sad they're both gone :(

Such a beautiful truly loving family that will never be forgotten ❤

lucy may have divorced desi....seemed to moved on n mary gary but she never stopped carring a torch for desi....she deeply loved desi up until the day she died which is y she died not soon after desi....she resented him for throughing their love away.....if you watch her interview with barbara walters her love for him is very clear...she almost went to far until gary chimed in....there is no way that gary did not know this prior to this interview...

Both kids look identical like their dad, may both Lucy and Desi RIP 🙏

Lucille Ball was a beautiful looking woman.

These are beautiful and heartfelt pictures! I loved them as a couple!!

My husband and I saw Lucie and her husband in a live production of the play I Do, I Do at a theater in Dallas, Texas. It was fantastic!!! It's one of my favorite live productions. I still watch I Love Lucy. I never get tired of it. It's a shame Desi was a huge gambler, womanizer, and drinker. Not conductive for a good marriage. I hope my grandchildren will enjoy watching I Love Lucy as much as I do.

I am like millions I love Lucy and I watch every morning! I Love Lucy brings back such sweet memories that I now share with my grands. I am truly thankful they loved each other and tried, and in the process they made I Love Lucy.

That was so beautiful! Love them all! For the laughter and blessing of them!

I still love you all, ever since, I was a kid an still do ...You made what we call TV...Funny to Watch...very week...we still Love.... I Love Lucy an all its Cast Members

Both children look like Desi!

What a beautiful couple 💞💙💚💝💜💛💞

Sometimes her eyes look so sad, like a sad clown with a smile drawn on.

WHAT GIFT OF TALENT -- BOTH OR ALL OF THEM... HAVE MOSTLY ALL OF ''I LOVE LUCY'' TAPES -- HER SHOWS ARE LEGENDARY-- THIS KIND OF HUMOUR IS AGELESS AND TOTALLY--- HILARIOUS.

@puupydoger Lucy actually filed for divorce from Desi in 1944, but back then, there was a waiting period before the divorce could go through. (I don't know for sure, but I guess that the waiting period was so that maybe during that time, the couple could reconcile if they wanted to.) Lucy decided not to pursue the divorce any further and she and Desi reconciled.

This was beautiful I love Lucy 🥰 thanks for sharing 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏💕

LUCY & DESI LOVED THOSE KID'S & EVERYONE WANTED TO BE IN, "THE ARNAZ FAMILY" I DID 😁👍!

Everyone could immediately see how the Arnaz family have this tremendous enthusiasm outlook in coming together through family gathering or some form of unexpectedly circumstances. It is especially interesting to see that we can now watch Lucille and Desi 's home movies. As evidenced in the story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, it seemed to have numerous illustrations in which to understand why certain incidents had taken place. In order to understand what I am talking about, you should read the autobiography of Desi Arnaz and the story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

They were good parents. I've seen Desi Jr tear up when he talks about them.

Hermosa familia,no debieron separarse jamas.hay mucho Amor.

Lucy and Desi has a great family. Their only son and daughter are very talented!!

Desi Sr. looks like an accessory in all the pictures, they just told him to show up and smile, no feelings at all .

That was so beautiful I love the pics.

My favorite all time Entertainers/Desi/Lucy, I LOVE YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

so sad 3 miscarriages over the years before Lucille was born. that's hard for any couple and woman to suffer through.... most woman might have given up trying to have kids after 3 miscarriages... but she kept trying. a strong woman who didn't give up her dream.

Lucy Arnaz is a hilairous lady! She always had perfect timing! Even as a young girl she was funny! Just as good as her mom!

I wish miscarriages were talked about more. They seem to be the natural but forbidden to talk about thing. Lucy had three and yet still had two healthy children. Miscarriages hurt, but perhaps if they were talked about more often, women would realize that they are part of the natural cycle.

Well, you can’t help but be touched by that, even though you never knew these people!

Lovely! enjoyed this!

I have a friend who lived near Lucy and Desi and would enjoy dinner at their home on Roxbury Drive. Lucy and Desi lived normal family lives; the stardom and show business parts were about careers, but they never mixed up family life with career obligations. Lucy wanted her kids on the television show to give them something challenging and rewarding and to have time with them, rather than leaving them to hired help. Plus both were natural talents. Lucy had many friends who were not big stars , including the singer Lillian Briggs, and she was very close to the famous character actress Mary Wickes from my hometown of St. Louis. Mary was at the Arnaz home most Sundays.

Desi Arnaz & Lucille Ball are the "Best of All"..time...thanks
