The Heartbreaking Tale Of Lucille Ball's Son, Desi Arnaz Jr.

Posted by Lorie Orum on Monday, May 20, 2024

Desi Arnaz Jr. has gone through a lot in his life, but he finally seems to be in a good place. The son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz must have made his parents proud by serving as an executive producer on "Being The Ricardos." The film stars A-listers Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, who portray Desi's parents in the movie. Desi's sister, Lucie Arnaz, also served as an executive producer on the Amazon film, per Desert Sun.

Lucie regularly takes to social media to update fans on the film, while Desi seems to shy away from the spotlight for the most part. In October 2021, she took to Instagram to share her glowing review of the film. "It's freaking amazing. That guy made a great movie," she said of Aaron Sorkin. In an interview with Palm Springs Life, Lucie also raved, "Nicole [Kidman] did a spectacular job. The two days that I watched, though, were both little flashbacks, so she was playing Lucy in the late '30s and mid-'40s." She added, "What she did was astounding. She's got such poise and class."

It's wonderful to hear the film's success and see what a significant role Desi Jr. and his sister had in making it — a true circle moment after some heartache, right?
