From reading several books about Loretta Young there was no one reason why the marriage failed, but several issues that triggered their divorce.

All of the reasons kind of dovetailed into Letters to Loretta or The Loretta Young Show. They both produced the Show (both having 49% stake and giving 2% to an accountant.) However people who worked on the show knew that Loretta was the real boss and it was she who called the shots, not him. As the show became more and more popular Loretta had more power and Tom did not like that and took it out on his wife and adopted daughter (who worked on the show.) While Loretta was recovering from major surgury Loretta's daughter Judy overherd Tom telling his sons by Loretta,Peter and Christopher, that because she was not biologically their sister she was not related to them.

Shortly afterward Tom left for NY to look for work. He stayed there. One time while the boys were visiting him he ambushed Loretta and told her that he would not be sending them back to her as arranged. He then sent them to military schools in NYC.

Up until that point things had been relativly Civil between the two (Loretta had even asked Judy to have him over to her house and after being introduced to her daughter Marie was told that Maria did not like him). However things started going south shortly after and the two spent the next several years in court over money issues contected to The Loretta Young Show.

Who was loretta young married to?

Loretta Young was married three times in her life. In 1930 at 17 she was making a movie with Grant Withers. They began a relationship and in late January they went to Arizona to get married. Her mother found out and sent Loretta's step-father to pick her up. They ended up getting divorced about a year later. In the late 1930's during a low ebb in her carrer she met businessman Thomas Lewis. They married during the summer of 1941 and had two sons Christopher Paul and Peter Charles in the mid 1940's. Things were not all hunky dory though and after years of semi-unemployment Tom Lewis left to work on the East coast because he was sick of basically being Mr. Loretta Young. They were still technically married for a while, but in the early 1960's they divorced very bitterly. In the early 1990's Loretta tried her hand at marriage again. She married Jean Louis whom she had known for many years (and who had been married to Loretta's friend.) They were married for about 5 years before his death.
