Miller confided in her that he was deeply unhappy in his marriage, and told her to expect his return.It would take four years before the pair would be reunited when Monroe moved to New York City to study. Between their meetings Monroe had gotten married and divorced from second husband Joe DiMaggio, but Miller was still married.This did not stop the duo from embarking on an affair although they did attempt secrecy in the beginning before Monroe’s career skyrocketed which saw the press paying closer attention to her. In 1956, the reluctant Miller embarked on the process of getting a divorce and submitted a passport application so that he could join Monroe who was due to film in England. Instead of receiving a passport, Miller was brought to the House of Un-American Activities Committee to testify about his ties to communism. While he was not a member of the Communist Party, he had gone to affiliated meetings in the Forties. Miller was also the author of the highly controversial play The Crucible released in 1953, which used theatrical symbolism to compare the search for Communists in America to the Salem Witch Trials.All of this negative publicity was seen as potential career suicide for Monroe who was just starting to gain proper traction. She was advised to distance herself from him but remained loyal, swaying her adoring public in Miller’s favour as well.The pair got married in 1956 and swiftly headed to England once Miller got his passport, and Monroe was quoted as saying: "This is the first time I’ve been really in love."However, this euphoria would not last for the starlett as she found notes Miller had written concerning her and their marriage, explaining his disappointment and second guessing. This proved not

Cameron Norrie, who is taking part in the Wimbledon Tennis tournament this year, has opened up about what causes “tension” at home between himself and girlfriend Louise Jacobi.The athlete has revealed the pair sometimes “get into arguments” during their time in the kitchen together. Cameron, 26, appears to have been dating Louise for a number of years, though it is not known exactly how long. The British men's No 1, ranked 12 in the world on the official ATP chart, has admitted in a new interview that one source of tension over the years has been their time in the kitchen together. “We get into arguments when we cook,” he admitted.The tennis star went on to explain that, while Louise was a diligent recipe follower, he was more of a maverick chef. “Because Louise always wants to follow recipes to the letter while I prefer to wing it and experiment a bit,” he told The Times. Last October, Cameron secured his first ATP Masters 1000 title by beating Nikoloz Basilashvil at the BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells.He turned professional back in 2017, and has since been one of Britain’s most exciting tennis stars. Cameron has so far attained four ATP Tour singles titles and one doubles title and has held the honour of British number one in men's singles since October 18, 2021.While the athlete keeps a pretty tight lid on his private life, the South African-born player has been publicly dating Louise since 2020 - although the pair may have struck up a romance long before that point. The first picture of the couple was posted to Instagram in 2020, but one post marking Cameron’s birthday featured a comment from Louise that indicated they had been dating for at least a year.Under the post, Louise had told Cameron he had “kept her
