Keeping things civil
While the couple appeared as loving as could be in front of the cameras, it seemed like they always had something to argue about. Lucy and Desi did their best to keep their marital troubles out of the spotlight, but it soon became public knowledge that their marriage was on the rocks.
Despite their best efforts, rumors spread like wildfire that their relationship was on its last leg. Many speculated that Desi couldn’t refrain from his womanizing behavior, even after having two children with his incredibly loving wife. Whatever the case, it was clear that the loving couple they tried so desperately to portray on I Love Lucy every week was all for show.
