De Alba is also known for being briefly married to actress Zsa Zsa Gabor. His marriage to Gabor is considered one of the shortest celebrity marriages in history;[2] they were married 13 April 1983, and their marriage was annulled the next day on 14 April 1983.
Personal life
De Alba was briefly married to the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor. The wedding, however, was declared invalid, since the actress's prior marriage to Michael O'Hara had not been properly dissolved. The de Alba-Gabor union was annulled and they did not stay together.[3] De Alba relocated to New York City, and died there in 2005.
