Didn’t she divorce the Captain after he got dementia?

Yep. I guess love couldn't keep them together.

No, from wikipedia:

Tennille said the reason for their divorce was Dragon’s “inability to be affectionate.”[27] In her memoir, Tennille revealed that despite their success and public image of a solid marriage, she was lonely and isolated. Dragon had been controlling and emotionally distant; throughout their relationship they slept in separate bedrooms. “I can say without exaggeration that he showed no physical affection for me during our very long marriage,” she said.[29] She reported that Dragon reacted positively to her memoir and the revelation by saying, “I saw you on The Today Show. I was proud of you.”[30]

Following their divorce, Tennille and Dragon remained friends until his death from kidney failure on January 2, 2019.[31] Dragon stated in a February 2017 interview with People that Tennille had returned to Arizona to assist him following a serious health-related incident he had experienced the previous year.[32]
