The Secret Tapes of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz

Newly unearthed secret audio tapes are shining a light on the struggles faced by Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz. The couple were stars of the biggest show on television, but also drew plenty of attention for their relationship strife. The tapes, discovered by Lucille’s daughter Lucy Arnaz, reveal the untold story of her parent’s turbulent love affair. Lucy said her mother recorded the tapes while writing an autobiography, and that she had never known of their existence until recently.

Lucy has brought joy to so many people. It’s devastating to find out she was so unhappy.

She really just wanted to be a wife and mom. She loved him so much, it really shows how things can turn around. We love Lucy

She thanked Desi for their babies they had. Never heard a woman say that. She is ahead of her time and still ahead of everyone now.

What it all comes down to, we're all human. God bless Lucy and Desi.💕 God bless their brilliant children. 💕

I've been obsessed with their relationship for my entire adult life. It's just so historically unique and weird. Almost like the Queen of England.

Some of us suffer in silence....one thing I can say is ,if only walls could talk then the world would know of our hurt ,pain and disappointments.

I am SO fascinated by Lucille and her life. I read her biography, saw 'Being The Ricardo's', and now can't wait to see this one too! I ❤Lucy!

I love watching Lucy reruns. I Love Lucy has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. I’m also surprised that they had tapes back then. I thought they came along in the 80s. I grew up in the late 80s & 90s, so don’t judge too quickly.😉

Anything Lucille ball related, I’m there!

[@rachelwyatt6030]

They look so much like my parents . I will love Lucy forever because it makes me feel like I’m watching my family. ❤️

I am 23 years old and I love I love Lucy I just wanted to say that to show it never gets old

[@fernanmontevista204]

I love to see them as a golden couple in real life but ended in divorce.

I would be more comfortable in my grave when I die if nobody would go removing any of my "skeletons in my closet". If I wanted them out there, they would be in the streets walking around to this day.

I've loved Lucille since I was a little girl. Such an inspiration ✨️

[@scotnick59]

I loved the show and both of them so much.

Lucy was her own person. She was an amazing woman. Anything that is very personal to her, should stay personal.
