Jim Nabors Didn’t Marry Rock Hudson.
Although back in the 60s, Jim Nabors was not out about his sexuality publicly, fans learned that he preferred men in later years. Then, a rumor surfaced that he’d been romantic with Rock Hudson, that they’d married, and that Rock was changing his name to Rock Pyle. It was all a gag run out of control. They were friends, not lovers. Nabors eventually married his partner of 38 years in 2013.
