They are all wrong (you are incorrectly trying to use "different" as an adverb). I always have problems with sentences like this, but this might work: They love each other in a very different way than I (had) thought.

My vote is for They love each other much differently than I thought.
It's not an idea that is likely to be expressed often, however, as it is not very specific. It says neither how they do love each other nor how you thought they loved each other.
