"Days of Our Lives" viewers may think that Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is the only great love that John Black (Drake Hogestyn) ever had. However, that's not correct. Although Marlena is the love of John's life, he was previously head over heels for Victor Kiriakis' daughter, Isabella Toscano (via Soap Opera News). John and Isabella met and fell in love and things appeared to be looking up for the happy couple. They eventually got married and on that very same day, Isabella went into labor and welcomed the couple's son, Brady Black.
Shortly after Isabella's joy of becoming a mother and a wife was realized, she began to get symptoms including back pain that made her seek medical attention. She was then diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and her life quickly began to slip away. John then fulfilled Isabella's last wish of wanting to die in her own home and took his wife to Venice, where she eventually passed away in John's arms, leaving behind her son, Brady.
Years after Isabella's death, John and Marlena welcomed a daughter together, whom they named Belle after John's late wife.
