In that time, rumor spread that James was dating someone from The Rockford’s show but he vehemently denied this. Later on Lois and James got back together and put all the rumors to rest.

Their love lasted a lifetime, James said “Lois and I were never in serious trouble. Ninety-nine percent of the problem was the pressures of Rockford. It wasn’t us, it was me needing to get away to get my head together.”

James passed away in 2014 at the age of 86 from natural causes. Their marriage managed to last almost sixty years.

The couple proved all their doubters wrong. They showed everyone in Hollywood that if you commit to someone, it is fully possible to honor the commitment.

What a beautiful love story that is rare to find these days. Share this with friends and family who were fans of these two so you can put a smile on their face!
