Two of Hollywood's most endeared celebrity offspring posed for a rare photo op!
Over the weekend, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's daughter and son, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., had a brother-sister outing and Lucie used the moment to give an update on her brother.
"Thank you, Nick Luckinbill, (mega producer for EDC) for treating your family to a grand meal at Wally’s in Las Vegas, with our special guest, my recalcitrant brother, Desi Arnaz, Jr.!!! Desi is alive and well, my friends- just likes to stay a bit 'undercover,'" Lucie wrote next to the photo carousel that led with a series of sweet selfies of her and her brother posing cheek to cheek for the camera.
"We are here for the weekend as Larry is being tributed during the 35th Anniversary of Star Trek V celebration at The Treksperts Convention here. He played Spock’s brother, Sybok in that film- and with his autobiography just released, is a very special guest here. He’ll be taking photos, selling and signing books and speaking on two panels. Then I snuck away to Caesar’s and Joe’s Seafood to join the indomitable Sunny Sessa, her dear Max and our pals, Clint and Kelly Holmes for more stimulating conversation and just a few naughty sweets!! What smart, interesting, funny, involved and talented and lovable friends and family have I."
Lucie, 73, and Desi Jr., 71, rarely have photo moments together. However, Lucie is active on her Instagram account, often sharing pictures of her late parents, and clips from her concerts. Desi Jr. on the other hand has remained largely out of the spotlight over the years following his own decades-long acting career.
Lucille and Desi Sr. got married in 1940, before divorcing 20 years later in 1960. Lucille died in 1989, and Desi Sr. died in 1986.
In the years since their deaths, Lucie has worked to keep her parents legacy alive. In 2022, the actress and singer was on hand at the premiere of Amy Pohler's documentary, Lucy and Desi.
At the time, she spoke to ET and shared the importance of her comedic parents' legacy and how she would want them to be remembered.
"Exactly the way we're doing it right now. How can it get better than this?" Lucie told ET at the time. "I mean, 70 years after their show went off the air and hundreds of years after they were born, to suddenly be, I don't want to say reinvented, they're not reinvented but rediscovered and re-appreciated and used to teach and to find a better way to live our life [is amazing]."
Lucie also spoke about her parents' commitment to working together amid the end of their relationship.
"They chose to go head-on into that," she said of their work. "And the relationship didn't last as long as their children might have wanted it to, but in reality their love for each other lasted forever. So you don't get better than that really."
