Robert Wagner Marks 36 Years With Jill St. John Photo
robert wagner marked 36 years of marriage to Jill St. John with a photo of him kissing her on the cheek. The anniversary post kept the focus on the couple’s long run together, a relationship that has stayed public through decades of career shifts and family milestones.
Wagner captioned the picture, "36 years of love and laughter with my beautiful Jill. Happy Anniversary, my love." The two wore matching black blazers in the photo, and fans used the comments to congratulate them.
Wagner And St. John In 1950
Wagner and St. John first met in 1950 on the set of Fox Studios, then worked together again in How I Spent My Summer Vacation in 1967. Their history gives the anniversary post more weight than a routine social-media nod; it reads like a public marker on a relationship that was already in motion long before their 1990 wedding.
That timeline also gives the photo a clearer frame. The pair had already crossed paths through work, loss, and a later reunion in 1981 after St. John sent flowers and condolences following Natalie Wood’s drowning death, before they married nine years later.
Jill St. John At 85
St. John turned 85 in August 2025, when Wagner posted a birthday message calling her laughter, love, and sparkle the force that lights up every room. He also posted a 35th anniversary message last year, so this year’s post extends a pattern of making the marriage visible at the same time each year.
That consistency is the real story here. In a business built on image, Wagner is using a simple couple photo instead of a more polished tribute, and the reaction suggests audiences still respond to marriages that survive long enough to become part of the public record.
Colorado Since 2007
Wagner and St. John moved from Los Angeles to Colorado in 2007, a shift that matched the slower pace they have described in their later years. Wagner, 96, also has three daughters: Kate, 61, with Marion Marshall; Courtney, 51, with Natalie Wood; and adopted daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner, 55.
The anniversary post lands as a family story as much as a celebrity one. The marriage now spans 36 years, but the photo works because it shows something simpler: two people still choosing to present themselves together, in sync, after nearly four decades.
