Desi arnaz and lucille ball affairs of annabelle

It was from that moment that their love affair began. Even more shockingly, Arnaz apparently shuttled Ginger Rogers who was presumably pregnant with his child across the border to Canada to get her an abortion just weeks before he would marry Ball. Even while Arnaz was getting Rogers an abortion across borders, Ball was still getting her kicks with a local politician she met in Milwaukee while on a press tour, and was also still seeing Henry Fonda , a fling that had began back in Moreover, the wedding of the two actually happened on account of a very impulsive Arnaz.

She was just as bad. It was like a continual, ongoing game of revenge.
