• Wagner's stepdaughter Natasha loves and defends him. The two have a close bond. Wagner is also now a happy man who spends time with his grandkids.

Robert Wagner is a talented actor who starred in more than 70 films, including "The Pink Panther," "The Longest Day," and the "Austin Powers" comedies.

Wagner has been married four times. Two out of the four times, Wagner married the same woman, Natalie Wood, who passed away at the age of 41.

On Father's Day, June 18, 2023, Wagner shared a series of photos on Instagram as he celebrated himself and other dads. The actor shared pictures where he posed with his family, including his children and grandkids, when they were young. Wagner, who looked happy in the photos, captioned the post:

"How lucky am I to be father to these incredible individuals. I want to wish my incredible son-in-laws, all dads, grandfathers, father-in-laws, stepfathers, and pet dads a wonderful Father's Day. Stay safe everyone and enjoy your day! [sic]"

Wagner's stepdaughter Natasha Gregson Wagner commented on the post, "Love you, Daddy," while the actor's daughter Katie Wagner wrote, "How Lucky are we to have the kindest, coolest most loving not to mention not bad looking Dad!!!"

Fans also commented on Wagner's post and said the love and admiration his kids show him signify just how great of a dad he is. One of Wagner's fans added, "Awww you never lost sight of your true priorities in life…..family! ❤️"

More fans wished Wagner a Happy Father's Day and said they loved the old photographs he shared of his kids and family. A fan told the actor to enjoy his day to the fullest:

"Happy Father's Day to you RJ. Such a beautiful picture of you with your daughters and grandkids. So much love in these pictures. What an amazing father you are. So sweet for you to include the pet dads also."

When Wagner and Wood got married the second time, they each had children of their own from previous marriages, who came together to form a blended family.

Wood's daughter Natasha and son, Courtney Brooke Wagner, were raised together with Wagner's daughter Katie when the actress died of what was written in her death certificate as drowning and other undetermined factors.

Natasha said Wagner went through a hard time when he lost Wood. She defended him over accusations concerning her mother's death.

What Was in Natalie Wood's Alleged Will?

Wood's will, reportedly signed in 1980, left most of her property to Wagner, Katie, Courtney, and Natasha. In the alleged will's documents, the actress's property, including family homes and the yacht, was estimated to be in "excess of $10,000."

The exact value of Wood's estate, which was estimated to be millions, was not indicated. However, the estate was divided into two parts, with roughly equal proportions.

One trust reportedly went to Wood's and Wagner's kids, while another trust was for the actor, and he was the executor and trustee.

Wood allegedly specified in the will that her stepdaughter Katie would receive 10 percent or $50,000, whichever was less, of the children's trust. The remainder of the children's trust was to be divided equally between Courtney and Natasha.

The actress reportedly wrote that $7,000 to $12,000 would be paid annually to her mother, Maria Gurdin, from income earned by her children's trust.

In the alleged will, Wood left her furs and clothing to her sister Lana Wood and $15,000 to her other sister Olga Viripaeff. Also, according to the will, Wagner reportedly knew of the actress's wishes to leave a few jewelry items to unmentioned individuals.

Wood left Wagner her other art, automobiles, jewelry, and household furniture. She reportedly specified in the will that her Bonard oil painting "The Three Stages of Motherhood" and a painting of similar value be chosen by Wagner and given to Courtney and Natasha.

The actress also allegedly named Wagner the guardian of Natasha in the will. She noted that Wagner had assured her he would consult with her daughter's father, Richard Gregson, in regard to her welfare.

The will reportedly said Natasha and Courtney would be raised together as Wood wanted them to continue to live in the same household.

After Wood's death, Natasha grew exceptionally close to her stepdad Wagner. The actor raised Natasha, Wood's daughter, with her second husband, Richard Gregson, his daughter with his second wife, Marion Marshall, and Courtney, his daughter with Wood, together.

How Is Wagner's Life Today?

Wagner still mourns his late wife. He revealed that he doesn't think anyone ever gets over the loss of their loved one:

"It's always with you. When Natalie died I thought my life was over. Natalie was such a special, wonderful woman."

However, the actor said he was fortunate to have married Wood for the second time. He added that they realized what they had for each other was special and marvelous.

Wood's daughter, Natasha, also said her mother dying was the worst thing to have ever happened to her. "My whole world just went to black and white and I couldn't hear anything," she added.

However, Natasha noted that her mother's death brought her stepdad and her closer than before. As per Natasha, their bond grew deeper because Wagner had to be both her mom and dad. She noted that she was also lucky enough to be raised by both her biological dad and stepdad.

Natasha said Wagner went through a hard time when he lost Wood. She defended him over accusations concerning her mother's death. Natasha noted that after Wood's death, her stepfather was surrounded by heaviness and sadness that wasn't there before.

The 93-year-old also feels that he and Natasha developed a close relationship after her mother died. "We've hung on to each other throughout the years, and she means the world and all to me," Wagner noted.

Now, Wagner has found happiness again, he spends time with his own grandchildren and the joint grandchildren he shares with his late wife, Wood.

Wagner, who said he enjoyed acting, noted that he would quit when he no longer loved the career anymore. However, he said if he could start over, he would choose a business career instead because it would offer him more privacy.
