They were so good together.
Marvin was devastated by Tammi's death in 1970 and reportedly blamed himself for it. It's hard to understand this because she had a brain tumor and that's what caused her death. He obviously couldn't have been responsible for that.

@LegendofPeza Everything I’ve read says they were very close, but not romantically involved. Tammi was involved at different times with two men who were violent with her, James Brown and David Ruffin.
Marvin Gaye was said to have hated that she went back to them during the course of those relationships, even after the violence. It probably reminded him of his mother, whom he tried to help leave his father.
His mother finally divorced the father, after he killed her son.
