Apparently, even President John F. Kennedy was not approving of this marriage and stopped Davis from performing at his inauguration. At the time, the couple couldn't share a hotel room or drink from the same water fountain. Britt's studio dropped her as soon as the marriage was official. The couple divorced in 1968 after Davis admitted to cheating on her. The two had one daughter, Tracey, and adopted two sons, Mark and Jeff.
