Beloved Hollywood Couple, 95 and 84, Marks Milestone Wedding Anniversary With Rare Photo Montage
A beloved Hollywood couple celebrated 35 years of marriage on Monday, May 26, with a video montage full of rare photos.
Actor Robert Wagner, 95, and wife Jill St. John, 84, celebrated a milestone wedding anniversary on May 26 with a photo montage posted to Wagner's Instagram.
"35 years of love, laughter, and partnership with my beautiful Jill. Every day by your side has been a blessing. Happy Anniversary, my love. 💕🍾," wrote Wagner on the and St. John actually met in the 1950s when they were contract players for FOX studios. They later co-starred in How I Spent My Summer Vacation, but they would not get married for almost 25 years after that film. Both were married many times before they began dating in 1982; Wagner was famously married twice to the late actress Natalie Woods, who died in a tragic drowning accident in 1981. Wagner and Wood share a daughter, Courtney, and after Wood's death, he became the legal guardian of Natasha Gregson Wagner, his stepdaughter, whose biological father was producer Richard Gregson. Wagner is also father of Katie Wagner from his marriage to Marion Marshall.
When Wagner and St. John crossed paths in 1982, they began dating, and "that was it," Jayne Smith, a friend of St. John's told People at the time.

"R.J. just started calling. They started dating and have been ever since. She's really in love," said Smith.
Wagner and St. John married in 1990 and are still going strong 35 years later. In 2007, they left the Los Angeles area and relocated full-time to Aspen, Colorado.
Wagner wrote in his autobiography Pieces of My Heart that he and St. John are settled in Aspen, and he intends to live there until his time up (via the Denver Post).
"When my time comes, I will be buried in Aspen, in an old cemetery that was originally laid out in the nineteenth century. A lot of children are buried there, and it's in the middle of a glade of aspen and birch trees — very wild and overgrown. As soon as someone is laid to rest, the land is allowed to return to its natural state…It's absolutely pure and totally peaceful," writes Wagner in the book.
