7. Lucille Ball And Desi Arnaz

One of the biggest couples of television royalty was seen as the closest thing to perfection in the beginning.

Alas, nothing can stay hidden for too long, especially not rocky marriages between high profile individuals who are constantly under the watchful eye of the media.

TV icons Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were both an on screen and off screen couple, but the script of the famed I Love Lucy show differed a lot from their reality.

The marriage became “unadulterated hell” during the show’s run, thanks to Desi’s drinking and infidelity and Lucy’s obsession with control on the set. The media, naturally, welcomed that situation with open arms. The couple was also targeted for their racially mixed marriage. Ball and Arnaz, “the ideal couple,” eventually got divorced.
