Robert Redford was married to Lola Van Wagenen for 27 years, from 1958 to 1985.

Redford is one of the most famous sex symbols of all time, but in actuality, he was married for the biggest parts of his career. He was just 22 years old when he married Van Wagenen in 1958.

“Obviously, I don’t want to denigrate the person I married, there were a lot of good reasons. But I have to say it was to save my life. That’s what it felt like at the time,” Redford said at Sundance Film Festival in 2018.

Redford and Van Wagenen had four kids together, including one son who died at 2 months old due to sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS.

In 1985, after almost 30 years of marriage, they split.

“It was mutual and it was right to move on,” Redford told The Telegraph in 2001. “We still have great love, great affection, great friendship. It is wonderful, and I think we probably deserve credit for it because the kids are great, they came through it OK.”
