Lucie Arnaz, daughter of “I Love Lucy” stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, recently shared insights into her parents’ tumultuous marriage and the “horrible” divorce, emphasizing it was their best decision. Despite the couple’s on-screen chemistry, their 20-year marriage was marred by constant fighting and alcoholism. Lucie, now in her 70s, lives a quiet life in a small town with her husband, Laurence Luckinbill, of 42 years.
The Arnaz children, Lucie and Desi Jr., navigated their parents’ messy divorce at ages seven and nine. Lucie revealed, “Once they decided to stop, everything got much easier for everybody.” Although their parents’ fame thrust them into the spotlight, both Lucie and Desi Jr. found their way into Hollywood careers.
Lucie, now a grandmother, has embraced a simpler life with Laurence in Weston. They moved to Palm Springs after marrying in 1980 and have three children together. The couple enjoys their quiet home, with Lucie turning it into a sanctuary. Photos of Lucie’s family gatherings and grandchild moments are shared on social media, garnering admiration from fans who appreciate the couple’s lasting happiness and family closeness.
