Lucie Arnaz touched hearts this week with a special birthday post for her younger brother, Desi Arnaz Jr. The 73-year-old shared an old childhood photo of them from the 1950s, where they were dressed up in hats and makeup, looking like their famous parents.
Lucie had a lot of nice things to say about Desi Jr., whom she called a brilliant and funny individual, a talented musician, and a loving family man. She also wished him joy and good health in the years ahead.
Fans react to Lucie Arnaz’s post for Desi Jr.
Fans loved Lucie’s heartfelt message and joined her to celebrate him in the comments. “Aww such a sweet post and pic of you two. I just loved watching you both on ‘Here’s Lucy.’ Happy birthday, Desi!” someone gushed, while another fan who could relate to their bond wrote, “Very sweet. My son and daughter are close too. It makes me happy, and I know your mom and dad are too.”
Many were simply blown away by how much time had passed that their favorite celebrity couple’s children are all grown up. “I’m 71 now. I was so smitten with Desi 43 years ago that I named my second son Desi. Happy birthday!” a third comment read.
Lucie Arnaz and her brother share a special bond
Lucie and Desi Jr. are more than just siblings; they’re also partners in keeping their family’s legacy alive. They have worked together on a few projects, including Being the Ricardos, the 2021 film about their parents’ lives, on which they were executive producers.
Although Desi Jr. prefers to stay out of the spotlight, especially since losing his wife Amy in 2015, he always makes time for his sister and family. Last year, Lucie shared a rare photo of them enjoying a family dinner in Las Vegas. She assured fans that her brother was fine but simply likes to stay undercover.
