Their Relationship

DiMaggio’s traditional views often clashed with Monroe’s burgeoning career and public image. Monroe’s iconic subway grate scene in The Seven Year Itch is said to have sparked jealousy and tension in their marriage. Despite their love for each other, the pressures of fame and conflicting lifestyles strained their relationship.

Monroe’s desire for independence, DiMaggio’s discomfort with the constant media scrutiny, and her on-screen persona led to frequent arguments, culminating in their divorce just nine months after their wedding.
