The mystery surrounding her untimely death in 1981 has haunted Wagner for decades, and the toll it took on his life and his heart is something he’s never fully spoken about — until now.

In a recent, deeply emotional interview, Wagner revealed the immense pain and grief he continues to carry from that time.

“Losing Natalie was the most devastating thing I’ve ever gone through,” Wagner said quietly, his voice tinged with sadness. “I’ve never fully recovered from it.”

For years, he has been asked countless times about that tragic night, but now, at 95, Wagner is finally allowing the world to hear the truth of how her death shattered him and changed the course of his life forever.

The tragic story began when Natalie Wood, one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of her generation, was found dead at the age of 43.

She had drowned in the Pacific Ocean while aboard the couple’s yacht, the Splendour, in 1981.

The circumstances surrounding her death were mysterious, and for years, speculation about what really happened to Natalie has continued to swirl.

For Wagner, the grief was overwhelming. As her husband at the time of her death, he was at the center of the investigation, which led to public scrutiny and pain that would last for years.

The pain of losing his wife, combined with the relentless media attention and the unresolved questions surrounding her death, left Wagner reeling.

“There are days when I still can’t believe she’s gone,” Wagner confessed in the interview. “She was my partner, my best friend. I don’t think people realize just how deeply this kind of loss can affect you.”

While Wagner has always been a stoic figure in the public eye, it’s clear that the loss of Natalie left a permanent scar on his heart.

For years, he struggled to move on, carrying the weight of both the tragedy and the unrelenting public curiosity about what had happened that night.

Even in the decades following Natalie’s death, Wagner found himself confronting painful memories and feelings of guilt.

“I’ve spent so many years asking myself if there was something I could have done differently,” he said, his voice breaking for a moment.

“Could I have saved her? Could I have seen the signs? It’s a question I will always ask myself, no matter how much time passes.”

Despite the grief, Wagner has slowly tried to move forward. He remarried in 1990 to actress Jill St. John, and they’ve shared a long and happy relationship.

However, even in the years of happiness that followed, the shadow of Natalie’s death continued to loom over Wagner.

He explained that no matter how many times he’s tried to move on, the loss of his first wife has remained with him.

In recent years, Wagner has also spoken about the toll that losing Natalie took on his career and his relationship with their daughter, Courtney.

“It wasn’t just about me and Natalie,” he admitted. “There were days when I couldn’t even be a father to my own daughter. The grief was all-consuming, and it took so much out of me.”

Wagner’s heartbreaking revelation comes after decades of carrying this emotional burden. His career continued after Natalie’s death, but it’s clear that the pain never truly left him.

“There were times when I thought about walking away from it all, but Natalie would have wanted me to keep going,” Wagner shared. “She was the love of my life, and she believed in me.

I owe it to her to keep living, to keep working, even when it felt like the world was crumbling around me.”

The pain of losing someone as dear as Natalie Wood is something that no amount of time can heal. And although Wagner has made efforts to keep his grief private, it is evident that her death still affects him deeply.

His decision to finally speak about the lasting impact of her loss is an act of bravery and vulnerability that many never expected from the former heartthrob.

Now, as a 95-year-old man, Robert Wagner reflects on his life with a sense of both loss and appreciation.

He is grateful for his career, his family, and the love he’s found with Jill, but the loss of Natalie Wood will always be the greatest tragedy he has faced.

“I’m at peace with the love we shared,” Wagner said softly. “But I will never be fully at peace with her loss.

I don’t think anyone who has lost someone like that ever truly finds peace.”

Wagner’s heartbreaking confession is a stark reminder of the deep and lasting impact that loss can have on a person, no matter how much time has passed.

For him, the pain of losing Natalie Wood remains a constant part of his life, and at 95, he’s finally allowing the world to see the true cost of that loss.
