Despite All That
Eddie Bracken and others on the set of Too Many Girls may have been right to doubt the strength of Lucille and Desi’s relationship. After all, they got hitched only six months after meeting each other. At the time, Lucille was 28 years old, and Desi was only 23. But even though Lucille usually went for a different type of guy, and Arnaz was already engaged to another woman, they fell in love.

From the get-go, their relationship was full of passion. According to many sources, the two couldn’t keep their hands off each other – both on and offset. After hearing his music, Lucille was instantly drawn to Desi’s charisma and confidence.
