What Lucille Ball And Desi Arnaz Tried To Hide On Their Marriage Certificate

After her divorce to Desi Arnaz in 1960, Lucille Ball voiced she wasn't interested in finding a new man but that quickly changed when she married her second husband, Gary Morton, one year later. They were married until she died at the age of 77 in 1989. In her autobiography, "Love, Lucy" which was first published in 1996, Ball wrote Morton changed her mind about finding love again with his "natural humor of someone who loves to laugh and wants everyone to laugh with him." 

In 1963, three years after their divorce, Arnaz also moved on and married Edith Mack Hirsch, with whom he stayed until her death from cancer in 1985. Arnaz, 69, died one year after his second wife but wrote in his final years that his love for his first wife, Ball, remained true. "'I Love Lucy' was never just a title," he was reported saying in the book "Desilu: The Story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz" by Coyne Sanders (via Cheat Sheet).

Although they both remarried, it seems their iconic love was something special for its two-decade run. In 1991, "I Love Lucy" director William Asher told People that he truly believed "there was a great, great love" between the two and claimed neither Ball or Arnaz "ever got over it."
