They struggled in their marriage, with Hayworth stating that Wells did not want to be tied down and Wells blaming Hayworth for making unfounded accusations of infidelity; they became estranged in 1946 but briefly reconciled in 1947 before finally separating for good; in 1948 Hayworth filed for divorce.
