Robert Wagner is one proud grandfather, but what you might not know is that his granddaughter’s dad is former 7th Heaven star Barry Watson.
Wagner, 96, who starred in early series like It Takes a Thief and Switch, continued on TV in Hart to Hart before appearing more recently on Two and a Half Men and NCIS. He also had a successful film career, with roles in the Austin Powers trilogy and several other popular films. He’s also widely known as the former husband of Natalie Wood.
Watson, 52, rose to fame as Matthew Camden on the iconic family-friendly series 7th Heaven, which ran on the WB from 1996 to 2006. Since 2014, he’s been married to Natasha Gregson Wagner, the daughter of Natalie Wood and Richard Gregson, making him Wagner’s stepson-in-law.
In a sweet new photo, Wagner snuggled up with his granddaughter, the adorable Clover.
“Happy Birthday to our beautiful Clover! 🌸🎂 Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, happiness, and all the sweet moments that make birthdays so special. Hope your year ahead is as bright and wonderful as you are! – Love Grandma and Grandpa @ngdubdubs@realbarrywatson,” he captioned the photo.
