Frank Sinatra’s wife Ava confirms his huge endowment

Ava Gardner, Frank Sinatra’s second wife, confirmed the legendary singer’s endowment, which was no secret in Hollywood, as his valet George Jacobs had revealed in his book Mr S that Sinatra had special underwear made to conceal his size in public.

Sinatra’s friend Gianni Russo said that “he was well-endowed, so he didn’t leave these women wanting anything.”

Sinatra’s affair with Gardner scandalised Hollywood when they were both still married to other people.

Gardner was first married to Mickey Rooney and then Artie Shaw.

Sinatra was one of the first-ever music teen idols before he also became a major Hollywood star.

Bandleader Tommy Dorsey remembered: “He was a skinny kid with big ears. Yet what he did to women was something awful.” However, he met his match in Gardner.

Their relationship was notoriously explosive by day as by night.

Sinatra said, “If we didn’t kill each other during the day, we might have killed each other in bed.”

Their marriage was in trouble within two years.

Russo said, “She drove him nuts, crazy. I spent many nights with him crying like a little kid because he loved her so much.”

For the first time in his life, Sinatra had lost all the power in a relationship.

When Gardner flew to Africa to film Mogambo in 1953, he followed her as a big romantic gesture, but she was clearly unexcited to see him.

Lee said, “It just broke his heart.”

Sinatra’s music career was already failing, and he was dropped by his agent, publicist, and record label when his affair with Gardner went public.

In October 1951, his first wife, Nancy, granted him a divorce, and he immediately married Gardner, but nothing changed in their turbulent relationship.

Gardner issued a press statement announcing their marriage was over in October 1953, although the divorce wouldn’t be finalised until 1957.

Sinatra had a short-lived marriage to Mia Farrow from 1966-1968.

It would be almost another decade before he finally settled down with third wife Barbara, who is credited with finally bringing stability to his life and severing his Mafia ties.

They married in 1976 and were together until Sinatra’s death in 1998.
