For decades, Robert Redford captivated audiences with his charm and talent, but behind the silver screen persona lies a deeply personal story of love, loss, and resilience.
Now 88, the legendary actor has finally opened up about the greatest love of his life—Lola Van Wagenen, whom he married in 1958 after a whirlwind romance. Despite early struggles, including the devastating loss of their first child, Scott, the couple endured 27 years of marriage and raised three children together before amicably divorcing in 1985. Lola remained a pivotal figure in his life, even as Redford went on to have passionate but short–lived romances with actresses like Sonia Braga and Lena Olin, and later found stability with artist Sibylle Szaggars, whom he married in 2009. Beyond his love life, Redford’s journey from a troubled student to an iconic actor, director, and environmental activist is nothing short of remarkable.
