Betty was previously married three times. Her first two marriages were brief. The one that stuck was to game show host Allen Ludden. They met when she appeared as a celebrity guest on Password, which Allen hosted. They got married in 1963 and remained together until his death in 1981. She never remarried and seemingly never dated anyone else, despite her crush.
May Betty and Allen now rest in peace together.
